...worthwhile. The absolute purity of their love provides a compelling parallel to the sex-driven dynamics between the village’s other couples. The screenplay, though it pushes the boundaries of fantasy, is rational in its own way; it avoids craziness for its own sake and provides the viewer with a plausible storyline that’s easy and enjoyable to follow. Apart from the traditional battle of the sexes setup—which hearkens back to Aristophanes—Helmer provides the opportunity for a wide interpretative understanding of the film. The men of the village?...
...seems too contrived; it has long been apparent that the family barely has enough money to live on, and the artificiality of this event unnecessarily reminds the audience that they are watching a carefully-constructed make-believe family and not the intimate goings-on of reality. Though the Western viewer may be confused by the casually dressed lawyer, the small open store-front of the theatre, or the way that Nanay yells and hits a passive Alan after hearing of his irresponsibility, those familiar with the nearly universal characteristics of a Filipino city and familial dynamics will be moved...

Any other version of the book - say, Hollywood's - competes with our original experience and simply can't measure up. And this applies no matter how good the film, how bad the book. If there'd been a cheapo novel called Citizen Kane that preceded...
...their long green tulle skirts, match their environment perfectly. The first half focuses on port de bras, with the dancers dividing into pairs and mirroring each other, again emphasizing the dreamy, aquatic nature of the piece. The formal nature of the movements is perfectly articulated, quietly mesmerizing the viewer. The central piece, “Rubies,” represents the new American style of dance—namely jazz—that Balanchine discovered upon arrival his arrival in New York City. The dancers in this piece are predictably dressed in ruby-red, the women donning the skimpiest outfits...
