David Hare is one of the best contemporary British playwrights, and his drama works are all excellent works. Nureyev's story may not be so familiar to today's young people, but it is a household name in his generation. The movie ended with Nureyev defecting at the Paris airport. Hale said that this was the most dramatic moment in his life. Everything before that was clearing his throat to prepare for this moment. The success of his career is also taken for granted, so I have filmed some All the fragments of life after that were cut off at the end. In fact, Nureyev’s life in the West is also very exciting. He partnered with Margot Fontaine to help her resume her second career. He also lived in fear at all times, afraid of being assassinated by assassins, but these were compared with defections. The drama is not that strong.
Hale loves the three-line narrative structure. This film has three lines interspersed with Nureyev’s childhood life in Ufa, studying ballet in St. Petersburg in his youth, and his first tour of Paris with the group. Hale said that the movie has a 45-minute mark. At that point, the audience basically knows how to develop in the future. The single-line structure cannot construct enough suspense. The three-line structure is much better, and each line can bring some freshness.
Fiennes said that I was lucky to be able to find Ivanko when casting the cast. Because of the limited budget, the cost of shooting and post-editing would be too high if a stand-in was used. Finding a professional dancer is the most ideal, but the dancer may not be able to act. Fortunately, Ivanko showed a certain talent for acting during the audition and was able to control a range of emotions. And Ivanko looks a lot like Nureyev. In reality, Nureyev's body condition is not good, his legs are short, and he can only rely on hard practice to make up for his shortcomings. Ivanke does not have this problem;)
