    The choreography is beautiful, but otherwise the narrative, especially the first half, drags on. Lermontov is a restrained and cruel knife, forging Hong Lingyan for religious sacrifices, tempting sacrifices to sink into uncontrollable destruction. To insist on an absent performance, to temporarily forget the objective reality of leaving, or because the wizard in the play is himself, despite the pain, is both a failure and a completion of the sacrificial art....

    Very classic poster, but the first time I saw it, I couldn't get into the show, and the old film didn't work well and I was sleepy. The plot is really catchy in order to fit in with the red dancing shoes. The heroine has a few paragraphs that are very good, especially the last look at the mirror. That famous dance scene used a film montage to achieve an effect that could not be achieved on stage. It was okay at the time, and the Mediterranean scenery was beautiful. On September 25, 2020, the...

    what! ! The sight of the two reuniting in the carriage is truly heart-wrenching. A Bole who knows how to appreciate your talent is always greater than a man who tries to trap you in the name of...

    The fascination of ballet gives Moira Shearer's face an astonishing power—and, of course, the entire ensemble has only one center: it ardently celebrates those who have devoted their lives to art, while revealing both the positive and the negative of the artists. It's a pity—Lemontov's role would have been great if Boyer played...

    The 16-minute ballet solo scene in the film is very classic and intoxicating. This dance is called film and television second, and there should be no film that dares to call film and television first. The restored version of the 20200925 Film Archive, full of colors, classical lighting, and rich in details, is indeed one of the two favorite color films of Lao Ma, and later color films may not necessarily surpass it! After re-reading it completely, I realized that I had read a lot less in those...

    #filmarchive# Dedicated to peak art or compromise with love? There is no answer. The classic movie "Hong Lingyan" adopts the layered structure of the play within the play, which completely integrates and completely opposes the elegant ballet performance and real life. A wonderful combination of ballet and cinematic narrative. The dance content is added to the narrative and becomes an important plot in the story, combining the fate of the characters in the movie with the characters in the...

    8.6 She could have been a great dancer, one man ruined her, she could also be a good wife and good mother, but another man ruined her, she was burdened by Hong Lingyan, but when she took off When the shoes were red, it was when she died. The color is strong but not greasy, bright but not exaggerated, how comfortable it...

    Lermontov is undoubtedly a discerning and jealous businessman, and the actor plays the image of Lermontov very well. The first ten minutes of the movie are too long, so you have to watch it with patience. In the middle of the play, the structure of the play is expressed in the form of ballet. The 1948 stage set is very thoughtful, and the music and dance are combined very...

    What I recommend is the 16-minute stage play in the film, which is very, very...

    It's a sad story, just like the impression I had when I was a child. I saw that it was a fable, but I never understood the true meaning of this...

The Red Shoes quotes

  • Boris Lermontov: Don't forget, a great impression of simplicity can only be achieved by great agony of body and spirit.

  • [Describing the ballet of the Red Shoes]

    Boris Lermontov: The Ballet of the Red Shoes is from a fairy tale by Hans Andersen. It is the story of a young girl who is devoured with an ambition to attend a dance in a pair of red shoes. She gets the shoes and goes to the dance. For a time, all goes well and she is very happy. At the end of the evening, she is tired and wants to go home, but the red shoes are not tired. In fact, the red shoes are never tired. They dance her out into the street, they dance her over the mountains and valleys, through fields and forests, through night and day. Time rushes by, love rushes by, life rushes by, but the red shoes go on.

    Julian Craster: What happens in the end?

    Boris Lermontov: Oh, in the end, she dies.
