Introduction to Out of My Life II

Dancing soul, swaying body and the generation of passion are the charm of dance. Andy West is about to enter high school. Her mother died when she was very young, so she grew up under the care of her guardian Sarah. Because of his irresistible love for street dance, Andy joined a street dance team called "4 10" with outstanding talent. Their favorite performance was an impromptu performance at the Baltimore subway station, which attracted passers-by to stop and watch and give warm applause.

Worried that Andy was too addicted to dancing and would delay her studies, Sarah decided to send Andy to live in menstruation's house in Texas, hoping that the new environment would help her get rid of these street dancers. However, for Andy, her dancers are equivalent to her family in a sense. For the first time, she was caught in a dilemma ... Fortunately, her good friend Taylor helped her get an interview with an academy of performing arts. Andy conquered the examiner with her perfect dance talent and entered the school smoothly. Sarah finally settled down and stopped interfering with Andy's dance.

However, after entering an art school that focuses on traditional dance, Andy, who is used to freedom, is still a little uncomfortable-the so-called "elegant art" has never been fully accepted by her. At the same time, her relationship with the former "4 10" dancer is getting farther and farther. After she missed several dance team trainings, Captain Tucker removed her from the list ... Andy, who was quite unconvinced, decided to recruit another dance troupe at school, and Dachuan, like her, was a rebel and an alternative in the school. Because of being too ostentatious, Andy unexpectedly aroused the anger of Blake Collins, a snobbish and selfish former ballet star who happened to be in charge of this school. Ironically, however, Blake's younger brother Chase was gradually attracted by Andy's charm. Although influenced by the tradition of regular art colleges since childhood, he always dreamed of becoming a street dancer, so he joined Andy's dance team.

Of course, Andy's actions have violated the strict rules and regulations of the school. She and her team members were humiliated and rejected by other students in the school, so they decided to take part in a secret underground dance competition to prove their strength, and their biggest opponent was "4 10" led by Tucker.

Behind the scenes production

Not a sequel. A sequel.

Although "Dance Out of My Life 2" is advertised as a sequel, there is no similarity except that the stories of the two films both took place in an art college. That is to say, it does not continue the story of the last role, but repeats the similar content and style: two boys and girls with different life backgrounds have different dance styles, and they all need to change themselves to cater to each other and find a balanced way. Only in this way can we finally win the dance competition ... Except that channing tatum, the star of the first episode, made a meaningless guest appearance at the beginning of the film to show the connection between the two films, the so-called sequel is actually just a cover for the film company to promote.

In 2006, Dance Out of My Life combined with traditional dance, but there was little description of "street culture". As for the sequel, just the word "street" on the subtitle can easily lead to some expectations. However, under the premise of lacking the healthy and youthful atmosphere that this kind of film should have, the street slang that the characters in the story often talk about has not brought you much shock, but has played the opposite role. Because it was produced by Disney, Dance Out of My Life 2 has obvious musical style. At first glance, you will confuse it with the TV movie High School Musical, which was also released by Disney.

Similar stories naturally have similar inspirational styles, or a group of children from art colleges. What they need to beat is the best street dance troupe in Baltimore. Their dance steps have incredible magic. Teenagers are still in the most cynical stage of their lives, but they have released a torrent of emotions through dancing, waiting to prove their value on the stage.

From all angles, including freshness, authenticity, or any standard that means urbanization, this film is unqualified, especially compared with those musical films that are still shown in cinemas, such as the Canadian film Dancing Youth, its roughness immediately appears. Zhu Haowei, the director who used to refer to dancers, and his dance team didn't try to take a realistic route, trying not to restrain their imagination and being unconstrained, so what they presented at the dance scene was rare wisdom and grandeur.

I don't know if the film redefines this kind of youth musical: just shaking your body, encountering difficulties, then some accidental collisions, and the pain of jealous people ... but that you abandoned the measured plot, intelligent and humorous dialogue and outstanding acting skills that have always been praised? Anyway, the only thing missing in Dance Out of My Life 2 is what it should look like.

Gorgeous dancing skills and sexy body.

The gorgeous young actors in the film are the magic weapon to enhance their appeal. As for the story, it is suspicious to apply it mechanically. Even in the highly anticipated "Street Culture", you will find that similar plot arrangements have already appeared in the original HBO TV series "Firewire".

Because the story line in Dance Out of My Life 2 contains too many accidental elements, it seems that everything is unreal: for example, why does Andy always "bump into" chasing around a big school? How does Chase know that only the people who are rejected by other students are the people most needed by their dance company? Although there are many gorgeous and dazzling dance scenes here, there is no way to bring any dramatic improvement to the film, including the climax at the end. Saving the best for the last is the eternal truth of filming, but except for the ending, other dance scenes are really meaningless and creative, especially Dancing Youth, which was released not long ago, only used less than half of the budget, but created more original passion and energy.

It seems that the failure of the film lies in the fact that director Jon Zhu is too afraid to deviate from the normal mode of dance genre films. He has been trying to cater to the imagination of the audience, but forgot that what the audience wants most at this time is the sexy dance of young actors in front of the camera. So "Dance Out of My Life 2" is more like a teaching CD for teaching dance courses, and the style is obviously greater than the content.

Although there are many shortcomings, there are still some memorable parts in the film. For example, those scenes shot in Hollywood studios, including the hot Latin dance steps, and of course the last group of scenes dancing in the rain, have become dazzling displays because of the speed, style and precision of the dancers' movements. Director Jon Zhu's views on dance are really too idealistic and dreamy, but at least what he brings to the audience through movies is pure entertainment. Almost every minute, your heart will beat with the rhythm of music.

Briana Evigan, the heroine of the film, is the only reason why this film is worth recommending. She brought almost everything, not only because of her health and charm, but also because of her own dancing talent. Yvonne personally completed all the dance scenes in the film without using any body double, which allowed director Jon Zhu to use the lens freely: first, give her a panoramic view of her body, then move to a close-up of her face, and finally, make a shocking freeze ... Such a charming girl is enough to attract anyone's attention. But for Evelyn's acting career, she needs a more challenging role to enrich her acting experience. Robert hoffman, who plays opposite Evegan, didn't just go to the movie as a foil, but he still had a feeling that they were so attractive as soon as they met, because there was no verbal communication or physical friction at that time, which was far-fetched. Although they proved themselves to be the best dancers in the film with practical actions, it is a pity that they had to use the nonsense and nonsense dialogue created by screenwriter Toni Ann Johnson and Karen Barna.

The sequel really follows the original routine, using enthusiastic street dancers to defend the arrogant, extremely conservative and well-cultivated traditional art. When the camera is absorbed in the dance, the full picture makes people speechless, but when the content turns to the introduction of the dull and lifeless character background story, it is really unsatisfactory-no one cares whether Andy is in danger of being deported, and no one cares whether Chase has been living in the shadow of his brother, because these story elements do not play a good role in the film.

"Dance Out of My Life 2" is just as you imagined-flat characters, stale story lines, weak love, awkward and boring preaching, but this is not what the audience cares about when they enter the cinema. They hope to stimulate their nerves with music through the sound system of the cinema, and then watch a beautiful girl dance sexy and unrestrained in the rain.
