Mao's Last Dancer




i love this show!!!! it's adapted from the book, and the dances are just so beautiful. omg. anything with dance :)) it's a story on communist china, at first i thought it was really cheena (the whole front part of the movie is in chinese). it's about a boy who got selected to be part of the national ballet group. their trainings look super tough!! but it's really cool too (: anyway, it's super funny how the government insisted on having a political ballet style, which is really weird-looking - think guns & uniforms in a ballet?! then the protagonist gets the chance to go to america on an exchange programme, where he gets to dance in the kind of ballets which he loves (the nice kinds!!! like don quijote and swan lake). but after that, he has to return to china, which he doesnt want, resulting in a whole lot of drama and ends in him defecting from his country and not being allowed to return to china. while he worries about his family, he can't do anything about it, except to focus on his dance. and i found what he said quite touching, "When i dance, i dance for my family". (: in the end, he is reunited with his family when they manage to make a trip out of china to watch his performance in america.

nice show!!! (: if you love dance, watch this xD
