Title: Ballet movies
Post by: tp4tissue on Fri, 05 April 2019, 20:06:41
Have ya'll noticed, most ballet movies, are kinda messed-up ?

Why is it that ballet has become a medium for -dark thoughts- and women-abuse-plots ??

Black swan,   Nutcracker,   Suspiria.

Tp4 has a clear preference,  Spaceships + Robots + Alien Babes.

However,  after watching over 2000 movies,  ^^^^ Those movies have been exhausted.

Moving on to other categories. Not-selective, just random movies from the pile.



Overall, there's something worthwhile in every movie,  you don't have to watch every second of it.

I've seen the Lobster. LOL...  Seems the plot is already existing in real life, through social media.

The opening sequence of "The Company" is pretty cool.

This is a very complex film, and what is happening on the screen becomes uncanny.

I did ballet when i was three. Oh my goodness were the shoes and nylon pants tight. Due to my weird leg(which that's why i don't play any sports) and my short attention span i immediately dropped out and started developing a hate for any active sport except bowling, golf and walking.
