This movie is famous, also known as the world famous, fly high with me. There are many famous people, and they are a group of students in art high school. Through the narration of their four-year school life, this paper shows all aspects of this group of young people who are struggling for their dreams, and the film itself is a portrayal and description of this group of people. The following is a character analysis:
Montgomery McNeill:
Montgomery? Mcnair, the only son of a famous actress and a student in the acting class, was the first to appear. A monologue leads the audience into the movie. When you hear his monologue for the first time, you will think that he is really a military student, because he is so sincere when he tells about his separation and meeting with his mother, but soon you find that this is an entrance interview and he is just reading his lines. But Montgomery's feelings are real. His mother, a famous actress, is always on tour, and he lives alone in a big empty apartment. Montgomery may have a little Oedipus complex, and his acting talent may be inherited from his mother. In the whole film, Montgomery hardly has any strong mood swings, but shows melancholy, even when describing his most painful experience. As he himself said: "As a homosexual, I will never get real happiness;" But I will not be unhappy. "Falling in love with his own psychiatrist, this unrequited love and desperate love made him feel more painful than his father's departure and his mother's first time, but this melancholy temperament qualified him to be an actor. Montgomery's only emotional catharsis was on the night of the "Loki Terror Party". When all his friends went to the movies, he sat alone by the window of his apartment, playing guitar and singing. The neon lights outside the window shone on him, but all the excitement was far away from him. He was cut off from the outside world when he was depressed. Perhaps there is only one reason why he is not so lonely, and that is Doris Finsek.
Doris Finsek:
Doris? Finsek, a girl from a traditional Jewish family, is a student in an acting class. She entered the performing arts high school only because her family did not allow her to attend other expensive high schools. Conservative Doris, like all girls in traditional Jewish families, has a doting and strict mother, who is younger and more shy than her classmates from the beginning. On the first day of high school, she was frightened by the crazy dance during her lunch break. When she left the restaurant, she happened to meet Montgomery, who was as shy as she was, on the stairs and established a friendship. School life is a real growth for Doris, and the subjects of acting make her get rid of her shy self and become others. Sitting in the snow with Montgomery, crying with a fake baby in her arms, or begging in the street as a blind person (some people believe that she really gave Doris a coin, but she invited Montgomery to drink coffee and laugh with it), all of which Doris didn't even dare to think about in the past. Loki's horror party was her biggest turning point. When she ran to the stage to sing and dance with other girls, no one could believe that it was the Jewish girl who followed her mother three years ago. It was excellent. Another bigger change is that she fell in love with Ralph Garcy, who was originally regarded as an enemy.
Ralph Garci:
Rafe? Jia, formerly known as Puerto Rican, is a performance student. He took the initiative to change his original name and spoke English at home, as if because he hated his own blood. Rafe, who worships comedy stars and is too active, was kicked out of the instrumental class and dance class when he came to the performing arts high school, but he finally entered the acting class, a place that really suited him. Rafe showed the nature of cynicism when he first entered school, which made Doris and Montgomery afraid of him and regarded him as an enemy. On the day Montgomery revealed his sexual orientation, he deliberately played tricks on Montgomery and Doris, but it was so annoying that he finally won Montgomery's friendship and Doris's love. Rafe's most fatal advantage is his humor, but it is a kind of black humor, a kind of humor that should cry and laugh, and a kind of painful humor unique to Puerto Ricans. Rafe's bitter satire on Puerto Rico won people's laughter: "In a place where even dogs carry knives, ask any boy about his future aspirations and he will answer' I want to be a retired drug Lord' ...". Rafe hid his true feelings deeply, only after the Loki terrorist party and the night when his 5-year-old sister was attacked. Rafe's crying made Doris and Montgomery unbelievable. What they can't believe is that such a person who has been laughing all day has such a tragic past. The love between Rafe and Doris started very strangely. At first, the audience will think that Doris and Montgomery will become lovers. However, although Montgomery invited Doris to see the horror party in Loki, it was Rafe who really went with Doris in the end. Rafe just wants to be a comedy star, but Doris and Montgomery know that he is not only talented in comedy, but his hidden pain can make him a better actor.
Li Luoyi Johnson:
Rilo? Qiang Sen, a student in the dance class. It can be found that Luo Li was just a street thug before he entered the school. He has no fixed residence, no education, can't read a few words, and can't even speak standard English, but he has superhuman dancing talent. Lilo, who accompanied her friends to the interview at first, was noticed by the dance teacher in this way: "He didn't sign up? Then fill him out. " This common coincidence in life changed his fate. Lilo began to work hard to become a professional dancer. When he dumped the whole bucket of garbage into his friend's car, it showed that he was determined to break with his past life. Besides, Luo Li has the charm that the teacher described as "evil". He seems happy to make girls jealous of him. He angered Coco, a black girl who liked him, when he was dating a beautiful white girl.
Cocoa:
Coco, a versatile black girl, is a student in a dance class. Coco described himself as "dancing is just one of my specialties, and I may become a musical actor on Broadway in the future". Indeed, Coco not only dances well, but also has a nice voice and plays the piano well. Her family background is not explained in the film, but she obviously comes from a poor family, although she doesn't want to admit it. Coco has been looking for opportunities to become famous in one fell swoop. She organized a band performance during the holiday and was forced to take off her coat during the audition. It's all about fame. It's world-famous. Coco's songs appear repeatedly in the film. She has been singing her own dream, which is also the star dream of all these students. Accompanied by her singing, it is the music of Bruno Martelli.
Bruno Martelli:
Bruno? Matri, an instrumental class student. Bruno likes electronic synthesizers and composers. In the initial interview, he brought a lot of equipment, which surprised the teacher. "The future band only needs me", Bruno believed in his ability, so the teacher had to ask him to "play one instrument at a time". Fortunately for Bruno, he has a father who understands and supports him. His father is a lovely taxi driver. Not only was he willing to spend money on expensive equipment for his son, but he even put a tweeter in the car and played his son's music at the school gate, causing traffic jams and fighting with other drivers. This is the most fanatical group dance scene in the film. When Coco came to Bruno to form a band, he laughed at his flat chest, but soon they became friends. The scene where Coco plays Bruno's songs on the piano is one of the warmest moments in the film.
Lisa Monroe:
Lisa. Monroe, a student in the dance class. She is a failure, and her dream was shattered before she started. I was dismissed because I didn't work hard enough. At any time, anywhere, there are always people who fail. The reason why Lisa failed was that she didn't really realize the significance of dancing and had no clear future direction.
Three keywords: Loki terrorist party.
Montgomery, Doris and Rafe all experienced great changes before and after this film. The love between Doris and Rafe, the outbreak of Rafe's true feelings and Montgomery's loneliness all happened in this period. Especially Montgomery's playing and singing-everyone will have similar experiences. When your good friends start to fall in love, friendship automatically takes second place, not to mention that both of them are friends of Montgomery. Montgomery felt lonely.

Beautiful transfer student:
Students in the dance class. The transfer student caused a sensation among boys on her first day of school, on the one hand, because she was outstanding.
Beautiful, on the other hand, because her family is rich-after all, most students don't report in a luxury RV. vague
Chu, what's her psychology in dating Lillo? Leroy relaxed when she danced a beautiful ballet solo.
Be captured. When she brought Lilo home, her father and stepmother's eyes mixed with surprise and fear must have made her feel it.
The pleasure of satisfaction. But in the conversation with jealous Coco, she showed pride and helplessness in front of the psychologist afterwards.
Tears also formed a huge contrast. She is an excellent ballet dancer. She is confused about the future and wants to use her own strength.
She didn't know what to do when she proved that she didn't depend on her family.
Having said that, I have to go back to the two plots in the story that I think are the most important:
One is the Loki terrorist party.

The other is: graduation ceremony.
At the graduation ceremony, the students sang together and sang their dreams. Of course, their dream has just begun, as the teacher said when they first entered school:
"Dancing is the most difficult profession in the world."
"Acting is the most difficult profession in the world."
"Instrumental music is the most difficult profession in the world."
Think back to the teenagers at the beginning of the film, and then look at the young people at this time. They come from different backgrounds, families and personalities, and the only thing in common is the pursuit of music and dance dreams. From then on, the dream of teenagers began to soar. ...
