Movie Review - "Mao's Last Dancer"


POSTER


 I watched movie named 'Mao's last dancer.' This movie's ganre is drama. There are Li Cunxin (Chinese Ballet Dancer), Mr Chan (teacher who inspired Li),  Ben Stevenson (Houston Ballet  Artistic Director), Liz (Elizabeth Mackey -  first wife of Li), Lori (first dance partner), Charles Foster (Immigration Lawyer), Li Cunxin's mother, Li Cunxin's father, Mary McKendry (Australian Ballerina - second wife and dance partner) in this movie.It set in China, America, and Austrailia.                                                                                                                  
 

 Boy named Li selected to school representative and went to Beijing. In Beijing, he learned ballet. It was hard to do also difficult. But his teacher Chan encourage to him to do well. Li watched video that Chan gave. After he watch it, he learned and practiced ballet hard. He always practiced and practiced. Because of hard working, he could do ballet well!! And he went to America and studied. He did ballet performance many times successfully and became popular. He reached his goal that do ballet well and performance well. Also realize his big wishes that delight his parents.

  When I was watching this movie I was lost in old memories. I learned ballet from 3 years old to 9 years old. At that time I wanted to be a ballerina. But my body became stiff so I changed my dream and quit. I watched ballet performance many times. But Li was the best ballerino I'd ever seen. He was great! 

I think it was good movie to us. It give hope to us to success or achieve our goals. Li did hard working to achieve his goals so I think I have to do hardworking to achieve my goals. Also have a strenuous life to reach my goals. It gave lesson that when we do hardworking, we can achieve our goals.

STILLCUTI think Li has great leadership. He practiced hard for his performance. In ballet performance, there are many people in performance so when one people mistake, all performance could botch! So I think practiced hard to play performance well for his team is also good leadership. That's why I think Li has great leadership. I'll be good at on team work. I'll do English speech contest after this camp. I'll do it by team. So I'll do my best on practicing and working.

 It was really great movie and helpful movie to me.

  1. You have illustrated your post well Jieun and included the main aspects of writing a movie review. It would have been good to mentioned Ben Stevenson in your plot as he was instrumental in providing the opportunity for Li to go to America and become a star. Would you recommend this movie to others? What rating would you give this movie? Keep up the good work!
