An excellent movie (in English) about an 11-year-old Chinese peasant boy that is selected . . . and sent . . . to Mao's Beijing Dance Academy during the harsh periods of Mao's regime. He become one of China's greatest dancers, and during a visit ballet troupe in Houston, Texas defects to the United States. Excellent cinematography, acting and music. The limited dancing that was shown was also first rate.
Was not rated A because the storyline was one that we have heard many times. However, the film can be considered at least a million times better than the shows that have recently been created for prime time TV.
