A dreamlike psychedelic world

The song and dance in this film are very well used. The main line is connected but separated from the story. The role of song and dance in the film is also many: connecting or even summarizing the plot; implying political background; expressing the voice of the characters; A psychedelic society; the description of the small stage and the audience below portrays the restlessness and fear of all living beings in the turbulent era of political sudden change.

The heroine is well portrayed. She is an insignificant little figure in the context of drastic changes. She is embarrassed in reality but has dreams in her heart. She is willing to sell her body to get close to those who seem to be able to help her dream. He doesn't care about his body but has a pair of innocent and moving eyes. I told others that my father was very close to me, but he couldn't conceal the fact that his father was not willing to spend more money on telegrams, and he was shocked. In my heart, he was actually a child who longed for his father's love. Abandoning the boy she loved and the child in her womb, because she knew that the boy did not fall in love with her, and her dream of dreams was better than her love for the boy, so she returned to the stage and sang her arms. No matter whether the dream can be realized or not, she is willing to pursue it, even dying in the dream. "Life is like a karaoke hall, it is just a karaoke hall, and what I like is the karaoke hall." She represented the beginning of the liberation of women’s minds, self-knowledge, and pursuit of dreams; she also represented the dream-catchers of that era who were willing to pursue that unattainable but incomparably beautiful dream, but like that prostitute El Xi could not escape its fateful ending.

The performance of the Nazi youth was particularly impressive. The song was agitated and high-pitched, and the audience's emotions were quickly mobilized, changing from watching to participating. The opponents appeared weak and out of place, which intuitively embodies the power of the Nazis. The people's ignorance and easy manipulation, incitement, and fragile hearts can be easily manipulated and exposed here.

    The songs and dances inside "Money Runs the World" & "Two Women and One Man" are excellent

    Play is like life, the stage of the "hotel" is an abstract life, only the wonderful performance can attract the audience, and the audience is just a passerby who stays in front of the stage for a certain period of time. On the other hand, the movie sets the characters and era background of the reality line very special, creating a strong sense of conflict, a little absurd, and moving closer to the "stage". The end of the film is very interesting. Through the blurred mirror, it is found that the audience below the stage is the mirror image of the supporting characters in the reality line.
