The fight scenes in 'The World's End' have a certain balletic quality to them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The eternal and uneasy relationship between ballet and modern dance endures, but radically altered in tone and intensity.
Every act I see, their whole act is choreographed. I'm sick of seeing these dancers. The only reason they have them is they don't have enough talent to get people dancing themselves.
Fight scenes are like learning a dance. You learn it move by move, and then you put it all together and it looks awesome when you edit it together. It's great!
The ballet makes us look at those bodies, it makes us listen to that music, it makes us wonder at the geometry, of the way they come together. The way that extraordinary space is controlled and given such emotional force.
What really matters is that 'Black Swan' deploys and exaggerates all the cliches of earlier ballet movies, especially 'The Red Shoes,' another tale of a ballerina driven mad and suicidal.
Wrestling is ballet with violence.
I find it enormously valuable to be sure that that the pacing is what I think it is and that the scenes have the shape I think they have musically and dramatically.
The ballet embodies the notes of music. And sometimes you almost feel like you can see the notes dance up there on the stage.
What I found out about stage is that there is such a camaraderie between the actors.
Dance looks absurd on film, I think, like little puppets moving around.
