| THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS IN THEATERS NOW WORLDWIDE |
This story has always had a special
part in my heart because I have
been drawn to it since I was a little girl. I was so excited to see they are
making it into a major film for the holiday. I love this movie, the music which
was written, composed, and produced by Tchiakovsky I love it so much because it
brings back some beautiful childhood memories for me of watching the play
several times. It never gets old for me I will probably pass the same down to
my future little girls and boys when they are old enough to watch movies. I
will definitely play the music for them when they are babies. So they can
appreciate the music. The Nutcracker is based on a play that is focused on
Clara a little twelve or thirteen year old girl who lives with her prominent
family. They are celebrating the Christmas holidays and she has a dark
mysterious uncle who gives her a magical and beautiful gift a beautiful antique
nutcracker. She falls in love with it and cherishes it.
Her family is celebrating at a
holiday party and after it winds down she goes to bed one night and as she
dreams her sweet dreams. She imagines this beautiful nutcracker coming to life
and turns into “the Nutcracker
Prince” takes her off for a magical and beautiful ride of her life. He takes
her into the fantasy world full of candies, exotic beautiful international
ballet dancers, from all different parts of the world Russia, Japan, Arabia,
and many other parts of the world. She meets one of my favorite characters, The
Sugar Plum Fairy. I always wanted a costume to perform the Sugar Plum Fairy’s
dance. It’s one of my favorites
and the one she performs with Cavalier as well. I can still hear the beautiful
music. I think that’s probably one of the first times I fell in love with
classical music. I love that this film is coming out right at the holiday
season is the perfect time. The film stars Mackenzie Foy as Klara, Keira
Knightley as The Sugar Plum Fairy, Eugenio Derbez as Flower Realm King, Misty
Copeland as the Ballerina Princess (on a personal note I just watched Misty
Copeland’s 2015 documentary, “A Ballerina’s Tale” is an absolutely beautiful
film about a modern contemporary woman’s story, rise, and journey in the
American Ballet performance world and her remarkable chance to change
everything in all of American ballet for all minorities). She will be
phenomenal in this role for those who love performance art, live performances,
all forms of dance, and ballet. I will definitely love to do a story on her
myself in the future because as a kid who loved performing ballet I took it from age (4-11) and dancing growing up. It’s
amazing to see such a great accomplishment happen. The film also stars Morgan
Freeman as Drosselmeyer, Helen Mirren as Mother Ginger, Ellie Bamber as Louise,
Sergei Polunin, Matthew Macfayden,
Jack Whitehall as Harlequin, Miranda Hart as Dew Drop Fairy, and “Lil’
Buck”.
I hope many will appreciate the
film, the history, the story, the music, and the beauty. It’s one of those
stories to be passed down to children and adults of all ages for generations to
come. Love it because it takes you from your every day reality and transforms
you into this beautiful fantasy world. “The Nutcracker and the four realms” is
in theaters now.
