"Lotus Out of Water" sounds good. Whether arranging Caroline's appearance at the beginning or interpreting Steve and Caroline's meeting by the swimming pool, they all tell us that the two protagonists met naturally and humorously in music and dance. It can be said that the charm of musical films is actually based on this natural and pleasant form of song and dance accompaniment. The establishment of the relationship between characters does not need trivial plot settings or hints in a plot. It is entirely possible to put aside those complicated constructions and organize the story with music and dance integrated with the plot, because singing and dancing naturally have a pleasant and moving artistic charm. It is precisely because the beginning of its story is so well established that a large number of story paragraphs have to be used to organize the climax of the story throughout the development of the story. The construction process at the beginning of the story "Water Lotus" was too hasty, and it entered the development paragraph of the story in ten minutes. But what I want to say is that although the construction was hasty, its beginning was perfect. Its perfection lies in the construction of its characters and the setting of the scene: at first, with beautiful music and dance, we followed the protagonist to the huge swimming pool; Through the accompaniment of music, men's singing and simple dialogue, we know that the protagonist Steve is a composer; Such a composer's identity makes us feel that the singing and dancing by the pool is compatible with his identity, which can make the audience sitting in the cinema interact with the protagonist and the plot at first. Just after the establishment of this interesting interactive emotion, the appearance of the heroine Caroline has a more distinctive feature and pleasure, which makes Caroline, a swimming teacher from the Women's Dance Academy, interact with the opening swimming pool and clearly shows us that this is a love musical. Later, they were going to get married, but George, as the head of the record company, was afraid that this would affect the music creation of his Water Sacrifice, so he hired the actress Maria to pretend to be Steve's wife and took three red-haired children to the church wedding to make a scene to prevent them from getting married. When Caroline left in a fit of pique and returned to the Women's Dance Academy, the beginning of the story ended. So simple but not slow, this is its superb and ingenious place. This structure makes everything that happened later become logical.

Music and dance:

Musical movies are called musical movies because their songs and dances are its real dominant form. It is not only established by stories, but also often realized by singing and dancing. In the 1920s, the popularity of jazz became the mainstream of Broadway. Lotus Out of the Water is also full of similar music, and tries every means to skillfully integrate songs, dances, synchronized swimming and other artistic forms into the film, and arranges a beautiful song and dance feast, thus interpreting the classic expression of Hollywood song and dance films. The water ballet in the last Water Festival is so fresh, natural and magnificent that it is the crowning touch of this film. Steve played by Red skelton is very impressive, especially in that funny dance class. When he was wearing a women's ballet costume and doing ridiculous actions, we almost burst into laughter, which became a classic clip in the history of movies. Music and dance are well used in every comedy paragraph of the film and always play a key role in the development of the plot.

Music movies are easy to understand. It's actually a big party, which makes you want to jump up and sing with the protagonist while watching. When you have such an impulse, this musical film is a success. Don't call it superficial and cliche. Excellent music movies, just when you think it is a cliche, bring you unexpected happiness and pleasure, nourish our body and mind, and make us believe that the world is still beautiful. Maybe this is its value!
