hihi..

seems like you’re into movies and books.. Anna Karenina was written by Leo Tolstoy… I thought the performance didnt really do him justice.. but was good enough for a complete show so to speak.. do check out his other Novel ‘War & Peace’… it’s one of his best written ever..

and i do agree translation of Russian to English is generally incorrect.. thus. its certainly difficult to understand..

cheers!!

The ballet portrayal of Anna Karenina didn’t work for me either, even though it was technically of a very very high quality. I fully agree that there were so many nuances that the dance failed to bring out, and I found it a rather soul-less and disappointing performance, especially when the story had promised so much! Do you think contemporary dance would have been a better dance medium?

I’m not sure if you managed to catch other performances at the Arts Fest, but I quite liked “Etiquette” though.

Geez , i think that although DBSK came out for just a few seconds , aren’t that part really very nicee ?
and before that , they already mention they didn’t have any lines but only performing up there as to enhance subaru’s dancing .

so i don’t think there’s any need of flow to it .

Hi Joanne, haven’t been visiting your blog for quite sometime due to school stuffs. You really like movies with alot of meaning and depth, don’t you! (: Just wondering, have you ever watched “Life Is Beautiful” before?
This movie depicts the story of a poor Jewish waiter marrying a rich lady in the 1940s and later on they have a son. On their son’s sixth birthday his dad brings him to the train station for a train ride, only to find that they were brought by the German officers to the train that brought them to Auschwitz. When his wife (who’s not Jewish) finds out that they’re being brought to the concentration camp, she hops onto the train, desperate to be with her husband. In the camp, he finds many ways to express his love for her even though they were not allowed to meet. He would play her favourite song on the player and even went as far as to shout “I love you, Dora” through the mic that was used for making announcements by the German officer. When he heard that the ladies were going to be sent to another camp, he disguises as a woman and tries to enter the ladies bunk but is shot to death by a German officer.
This movie depicts family love and sacrificial love that I find is touching and empowering, and I think you should also watch it too (:
