The Australian Bruce Beresford has filmed a great movie. " Mao's Last Dancer" is a film not only entertaining but, indeed, excited. Desfascinados as we are by the apathy and trash film that bombards us daily in our poor theater, " Mao's Last Dancer " presents a different film that focuses on stories with a little more soul. Humanity, love and politics are the fundamental issues that the director plays with harmony. Here is the story of a man struggling to be free. A man who arises in a context where they charge its social role, its internal unrest and loving horizon. Because one day Cunchín Li, a leading dancer of the China Maoist decided to take charge of your own life, himself congujarse first person, saying "I'm , and face the situation that presents its government. Cunchín Li traveled to Texas following an exchange program with the Chinese dancers. During his brief stay he meets a girl and falls in love. When the term loop decides to stay in the United States and in this way not only contravenes the party's decision to bring him back but, to make matters worse, causing a diplomatic and media of a certain intensity. A decision that turned out quite expensive but that is the price and the taste of freedom.
The bill of the film is successful but nonetheless engages in acts of dishonor. She lies somewhat less natural development of the scenes and human conflict. Actors sketch their sorrows with too much rigidity. The emotional trances are rather sketchy. In two or three traces taken for suficente. I believe more time is needed to develop and deepen the emotional relationships that form the narrative texture. In addition, the emotion that manages to convey, especially in the final scenes, is an emotion as canned, artificial, rebuilt. It is as if the director had decided to move us and it always used techniques. The problem is not availing itself of these techniques, which is very legitimate. The problem is that the viewer perceives the use of these techniques and to be so obvious force unravels the naturalness and spontaneity of the evolution of the film. We see the dancer Li Cunchín long after he is reunited with her parents, her former dance teacher, and the city of his birth. They are very sudden encounters that resulted in a couple of minutes. The reunions have always been the capital prism of emotion. How many TV shows have been filmed on Aug. sentimental reunions and reconciliations?. We like excitement and director Bruce Beresford that we are subjected to the influence of final reunion and reconciliation. The plot unfolds in a circular order.
Another wake-up call should be made on the specific issue involved and the solutions within the logic of the drama, the director offers us. The solutions are somewhat predictable. And there is a feeling of having seen the movie a thousand times. The theme of freedom and individual rights is well trodden. The theme of the struggle for an everlasting love we have seen in hundreds of romantic comedies. And the theme of a story of personal growth is given here without distinction of so many films that have addressed these issues and have blazed a trail unavoidable in the history of modern cinema. Perhaps the most commendable of the film is the treatment of these issues with an interlocking securely locked.
"Mao's Last Dancer" thrills and the excitement is at the same time, his virtue and defect. A strange mix do not often see nowadays. But nevertheless we can tolerate slightly. Especially in view of the vast array of tapes garbage that comes across the Atlantic.
