I don't want to make any comparison between "Hong Lingyan" and "Black Swan". They are both dances, and they are all gorgeous with death announcements. The stunningness of "Black Swan" and the realism of "Hong Lingyan" are both outstanding chapters of the film. "Hong Lingyan" devoted a long period of time to the content of Andersen's fairy tale "Red Dancing Shoes". The girl put on the enchanted red dancing shoes and kept dancing. Her lover left her and her family left. She, life finally left her. When she jumped across the playground in red shoes, she was so happy; but when she found that the red shoes couldn't stop, the heroine's panic was related to the realization that she was the girl in reality. The panic is so similar. Exhausted, she jumped over the cemetery, over the woods, and finally over the church, when she had her feet chopped off, with red dancing shoes representing endless lust, deep into the forest. She is dead, and desire has consumed her. At the end of the dance, the pair of red shoes was taken back by the evil shoemaker and placed in front of the most conspicuous window, waiting to seduce the next soul.
For Peggy, dancing was the red shoes that were firmly on her feet. Rymontov once asked her why you dance, and she replied, like why you live. Dancing is her life, everything about her makes her want to stop. Just like Natalie in "Black Swan", dancing has made her truly become the swan queen in the spotlight, even though she has to sacrifice her life for it, she doesn't care. The most fatal attraction of dancing is when the eyes of the whole world are Nothing can replace that sense of satisfaction when it comes to focusing on you. At that moment, Natalie really became a black swan, and Peggy really became the girl who was manipulated by the red dancing shoes, and she was willing to be slowly robbed of her soul by it, and she danced until die. At the end of the dance, the girl's body is covered in blood, just like Peggy's blood at the end of her own life. It's just that Peggy realized at the last moment that dancing can't control everything about her. There is always something more important than dancing in her life, and that is the love from her husband. She doesn't want to end up like the girl who is driven by desire. When I die, I realize that I have lost the most important thing in my life. She wanted to get it back, to get back her husband's love, but it was too late.
The red shoes were eventually removed from Peggy's feet, and she paid the price with her life to get rid of the red shoes, or rather to get rid of the drive of desire. Nina used her life to perceive perfection, and Peggy traded her life for the completeness she wanted. It's just that they didn't have the chance to come back again.
Desire is a more deadly devil than impulse.
