A Beautiful Tragedy: Ballet Documentary - Part IV

[trixsta54]

Why is this titled "A Beautiful Tragedy"? It was a happy ending for her as she clearly perfected the art.Talk about blood, sweat and tears, all the hard work that goes into becoming a ballerina. A lot of people don't appreciate or respect what they go through.No wonder Sarah Lane who played Natalie Portman's double in the movie Black Swan was insulted that Natalie got all the credit for her hard work.It's obvious you can NEVER become a prima balllerina in 1 year, that's an insult to any dancer.

[LiviaandSamara]

why is she crying in 3:52?



[Semizzzvetik]

@LiviaandSamara She says that she just couldn't stand the pressure anymore and cried in classroom while teacher was announcing the exam results. Though she had got a very good mark at the exam.

What was the tragedy ? starvation?

[MiuViuMiuVii]

Thanks for uploading this movie! It was a pleasure to watch it, very interesting.

[ballerinana11]

The other girls are just jealous that she's so good.That's nasty of them to leave her out on everything.

[olenajenya]

what is the tragedy?

[jizzypuff]

@olenajenya the tragedy is what she has to go through for perfection. starvation seems like a big enough tradegy

[MiuViuMiuVii]

@olenajenya Being anorexic is not tragedy?

[olenajenya]

@MiuViuMiuVii i wouldnt describe anorexia as a tragedy many girls go through it out of their own choice, but yes the girl herself had quoted many times at how she would eat loads and the other girls had said that she had made the choice not to eat, she could have ate but she didnt because of what many ballerinas call "perfection"

[rawrcherry]

I wish I had her talent

[pointeskatecybunny]

What is the teacher going on about at 4 mins unitl 5 ??

[DimSimToughBitch]

@pointeskatecybunny Oksana is crying because that teacher with the glasses constantly calls her Skorik, which is her surname. That teacher also calls another girl Maria by her silly nickname "Masha" which goes to show her stupid favouritism. Maria is also the one having a party for her birthday here, and Oksana is sitting alone in her room because she was not invited.

[Yanaballerina]

@pointeskatecybunny she was anauncing the grades from the final exam and writing them down in the students' record books or whatever the word for that is in English :)

By the way, to see Oksana's rehearsal in 2011 search on youtube for

Swan Lake Rehearsal for Young Soloists - From the Mariinsky Theatre

@rukivverh888 She is simply beautiful...

[yonjooheero]

Can someone tell me why she's crying around 5:11??

[ddotblog]

@yonjooheero

She didn't like that Ulanova called her "Skorik" - by last name, while she calls other girld by their first name.

[yonjooheero]

@ddotblog Thank you, ddotblog! If you don't mind, can you also tell me what the teacher is talking about at 4:05? I promise I'll stop being a bother. :P

[rukivverh888]

@yonjooheero The teacher said that Oksana got a 4+ (B+) for the exam and that she has to solve her "nutrition" issue.

[yonjooheero]

@rukivverh888 Ah, thank you for clearing that up, rukivverh888! :)
