Movie Review-'Mao's last dancer'





  Hello again. This time(or today) I am going to post movie review about a movie which has such a fascinating and influencing story. Before we start we should know some of character right? So there are Li(main character), Liz, Li's parents, Mr. Chan, Ben Stevensen, Lori, Charles Foster, Mary Mckendry. And, this story takes a place at China-America-China-Australia. Now, let me start movie review about 'Mao's last dancer'.
  Mao's Last dancer is a movie about a boy who becomes a professional danseur. The story's background is in a small village in China. And, China in communists' govern. This movie shows ordeal of a boy while becoming a professional ballet dancer.
  To summarize the story, I have to go back to China when the communist government was ruling country. There was a boy, just a normal boy who lived in countryside of China. He was just a normal boy in school. But one day something happens, which changes his destiny. People from Beijing came to his class and picked him to take a test to be a danseur. He finally passed and moved to Beijing. He was trained hard in the school of danseur and ballerina. He just wanted to give up and was disappointed some times (because of lots of ordeal), but he didn't give up ballet. After his teacher went to jail because he was told to blame China, he becomes professional danseur and plays in lots of musical. After the show which representing China, he was told to go to America for show. In America, he met Ben Stevensen, who manages ballet in America(?). After meeting Ben and performing lots of shows, Li became popular all over America. His show was fascinating everywhere. But, there was a big problem, he had to go back to China. He married Elizabeth(Who wanted to do ballet well) and was just trying to live in America. After some contradicts, he finally decides to stay in America. Then, a Chinese person brings Li's parents and go back to China. After that, Li and his secondary girl friend marry and live in happiness in Australia.
  So, things that this movie teach is be passionate and do not give up if you like what you are doing now. You need to do what you want. That is a way to success. Like Li chose to be professional ballet dancer, and practiced hard. You have to have strong passions in your work. If you don't like or hate to do, you must throw away immediately and try another thing that you would enjoy and like to do. I can give 4 stars out of 5 stars because I cannot feel passionate in watching movie and also this genre of movie is not my favorite. But, story was well organized and great. I recommend you if you want to be an professional ballerina or danseur.(It means if you feel passionate about it)

  2. Thanks Daniel, your movie review is well written but some of the facts are not consistent with the content of the movie. Li met Ben Stevenson in China and he was the one who sponsored him to come to spend some time in Houston. Also watch out for grammar and spelling mistakes next time. Overall well done!
