"Ballet of Two People" is very simple in terms of story, that is, how a "mother" strongly raises her daughter to grow up and realize her dance dream after losing her husband. There is great maternal love in the story, and the mother helps her daughter and herself grow up with a strong heart. Personally, I feel that the deeper meaning of the film should be a spirit conveyed, a spirit of idealism and optimism.
For example, in a passage before the daughter learns to walk, the mother performs a crazy stimulation in order to stimulate her daughter to dance the fairy dance. The mother fell down again and again, got up again and again, and danced again and again. A struggle between a hopeful mother and a daughter who can't walk, two women, is also a struggle between dreams and reality. Finally the daughter was frightened and cried and said, "Mom doesn't dance the fairy dance, let's dance."
The film also conveys a kind of life choice and choice, just like dancing and falling down and standing up, most people choose to fall, because it is easier, because it is simple, so it becomes mediocre. In our lives, or at important intersections in our lives, we will also encounter this situation. If we are not strong enough, we may not be happy if we choose to fall. I personally still appreciate the attitude of hard work, to work hard for their dreams, in today's society need this spirit of tenacious struggle, teenagers also need to work hard for their dreams.
The film is dominated by blue-gray tones in terms of color choice, and at the beginning of the film, the mother and fairy are isolated from the mass world, and the blue originally gives people a sense of cold loneliness. On a material level, blue also conforms to the cold winter of the south that goes deep into the bone marrow, accompanied by drenching rain, accompanied by flying snow that expresses a synonym for cold. Blue is also a regional choice, and in the south, huipai architecture is characterized by pink-walled green tile horse-head walls, which also tend to be a cool color.
Although blue gives people a kind of cold loneliness, the whole film conveys a great maternal love, optimistic spirit, and does not bring too much sadness to the audience, but a kind of spiritual touch and contemplation.
