About red shoes

The literal translation of the movie's English name is "red shoes", but it doesn't sound like a class, nor does it have the associations that a name like "an embroidered shoe" can bring. "Ling" seems to have the image of bound feet and small shoes in the impression, and "yan" is the attributive suffix; such a translation, the style in a trance comes up, accompanied by a strong smell of Chinese dubbing of Chinese characters. . I only saw this film thanks to the recent British Film Festival held by the Shanghai Art Film Alliance.

After most of the movie, the creator directly smashed the question of women's development orientation: should women purely pursue an independent and great goal, or should they return to the family, husband and child?

When such a dilemma appears in a movie, it is generally necessary to extremeize the scenes of different choices, forcing people to give an either-or answer; the goal to be pursued must be lofty, and it must stand on the ground of art/humanity/history... On the shoulders of the big words, even if you don't apply for McKinsey, you have to live a new life after resigning from McKinsey; and returning to the family has to work every day, washing husband's underwear/children's diapers/old man's Foot-binding cloth must be spiritually destroyed and physically transformed into a housework machine.

The heroine's face is distorted by this question, and her ballet-specific makeup seems to magnify her inner drama on the silver screen; the man she loves has left cruelly, and the dance of her own achievement is about to begin. When the opening music sounded, she was like a girl in Andersen's original work with the red shoes under her feet, flying towards her sweetheart. The pair of bright red dancing shoes rolled violently on the stairs, as if her heart was eager, mad, and regardless of the cost... This is the most profound scene left to me in the whole movie. She was not necessarily chasing, but more like fleeing.

Countless people who have successfully learned chicken soup are saying: There is no XX in the world, as long as you are willing to XX; clarify XX, arrange XX well, pay attention to XX, and both sides XX... Shouldn't you have both? Will be in a predicament of no choice, just because you don't have XXX, not enough XXX; looking at Sheryl Sandberg on the cover of her book, I'd be ashamed to buy a book and kill myself. . As a man, it's really impossible for me to pretend "I understand" and offer any advice about the meaning of a woman's life.

The story does not have many bright spots today after experiencing various blockbusters, but one of the longer dances can still make people sigh at the beauty and agility of the dancers.
