Movie review of Mao's last dancer

<Movie review of Mao's last dancer>

Mao's last dancer is about ballerino Licunxin's life, and this movie is base on true story.
Li was chosen by Bejing art school of Ballet and started to learn ballet.
Li had amazing talent. So he began to play the leading part.
When Hustern ballet company saw his talent, they took Li to America.
It was the first time in forever that the East person was chosen!
After that, he became famous and fell in love with eliza beth.
But, Chinese goverment commended him to come back to China.
However, Li wanted to stay in the U.S.A becase of freedom and Liz.
So he married Liz and become earned American citizenship.
Unfortunately, Liz and Li could't understand each other.
So Liz left him. 5 years later, Li became  very popular ballerino and married his parter.
And a man prepared surprise present for him.
He took Li's parents to the U.S.A!
Finally his family could meet each other, It was so touching during family's meeting scene.
In the movie, a teacher told him the story about "A Frog in the Well".In the story, There is a frog in the well. The frog thought that inside well is the whole world, and "I am the most powerful in the world. But It isn't!
Frog knew outside the well was more beatiful, so he is attrated by outside.
When I heard that, I thought once again, there are too many genius  so I determined to try many things and look for world~!!
Li made a decison to stay in the U.S.A, I think his decision is okay.
When Li must go back to China, he didn't want to go back to China.
He liked ballet, freedom and Liz.
He had really important three reasons. So I think Li's decision is good.
If he goes back the China, he can meet family, but he should give up his Liz and abandon dance that he really wants to do. At final scene, he could meet his parents
Therefore I thought Li made a right decision.
And When Li was in China, a teacher inspired him, that  teacher gave courage to Li, So he could follow his dream. I also have a teacher who inspired my life.
He is my Taek won do Teacher. When I was young, I was too young and weak so friends said to me "Tiny won" which I didn't want to hear that name.
Therefore I went to the Taek won do Academy.
It was the first time that I met him.
He always treated me good like his daughter.
Sometimes  he said a lot of stories about dream.
After I attended the Taekwondo Academy,
I became strong! And he gave me courage.
So I could study hard and have confidence in everything.
After I watched this movie I thought my teacher.
And It was so happy to see Li meeting his parents and being happy. I also liked ballet in the movie.
Dances were great! Next time, I want to watch this movie once more!

  1. You have to write in paragraphs, not by lines. It is hard for us to read and understand. Though you summarized the movie good enough, but generally this movie review is too short. Please put your efforts on writing this essay. Thank you.

  2. Jiwon- You explain what happens in the movie but you need to organize your essay. As Do Hyun mentioned you need to write in paragraphs with each paragraph being about the same topic.

    The first paragraph is the introduction where you say the movie title, background information, a short summary, the genre and your opinion. Then in the body of the essay explain the plot, characters and setting. It is in those paragraphs you can add the frog in the well, teacher Chan and pros/cons of Li staying in the USA. Finally, write a conclusion that summarizes everything you said in your review and your opinion.
