 Synopsis
The former Soviet Union ballet dancer boarded a plane robbed to the Soviet Union. After the plane landed, he was placed under house arrest in an apartment where a black man and his Russian wife lived. He was forced to serve as the dancer of the Boshuwa Ballet again. He was determined to escape... The film is a legendary story about a Russian dance artist. The dance of the male lead and famous Russian ballet dancer Bashilikov was so exciting that it was breathless and urging - it was a white night in the spotlight, the same day and night, boundless, and beginning and end. The gray in the eyes of a mentally ill person, and only a running and rotating shadow was the highlight.Bashilikov has a concave eyebrow, a naturally curly blonde hair, a low but strong figure. He has a genius passion and skills, and an extraordinary ability to rotate quickly. No matter where he can take the air, he will not lose his balance when landing...In the film, you can not only see Bashilikov's heart-warming performance, but also see the beautiful face of the famous movie star Ingrid Bergman.The interlude of the film "Say you, Say me" sung by the famous black singer Lionel Richie is even more popular and won the 58th Academy Award for Best Movie Song in 1985.In pursuit of artistic freedom, the internationally renowned Soviet ballerina Nikola Drochinko fled to the United States on the grounds of political refuge eight years ago.Once, while heading to Japan for a performance, the malfunctioning plane was forced to land on the Soviet Siberian Air Force airport.The Soviet Union released all the others on the plane and left Nikola alone to show that the defectors had changed their political beliefs and returned to their motherland.To influence Nikola, Colonel Ceyko of KGB found Raymond Greenwood, an American kicking dancer who fled to the Soviet Union to protest the US invasion of Vietnam.Because he could not understand why the other party fled from his country, there was a hostility and resistance between Nicholas and Raymond. After increasing his understanding of the other party, the two sides gradually became friendly.Nikola agreed to return to the Kirov Ballet, where he worked before, with the goal of finding an opportunity to escape again.Raymond's position changed, and he successfully covered Nicholas' escape from the Soviet Union, but he was arrested.Raymond was taken as a hostage and exchanged with another arrested Soviet spy and returned to the United States.This anti-Soviet Cold War film is a highly skilled film produced by Hollywood. Although the story is old-fashioned, it is very attractive: a Soviet rebel fled to the West, while an American rebel fled to the Soviet Union due to the shattering of ideals."White Night" is a metaphor, which refers to the area north of the Tropic of Cancer in the Soviet Union, where the sun never sets for many years, or a real nightmare that occurs during the day is particularly bright and absurd, so it is particularly terrifying.Mikhail Bareshnikov, a ballerina who defected from the Soviet Union, plays Nikola Drochenko in the film, whose motivation for escape is similar to that of his role: for the freedom of art.It seems that artists must make choices between their motherland and art.Although this film is not his autobiography, Mikhail interprets the role vividly and convincingly with his inner resonance from similar experiences. Best Original Song at the 58th Academy Awards Leonard Ritchie at the 58th Academy Awards Best Original Song (Nominated) Stephen Bishop
