Plot summary and analysis
The lives of Kate Sanders and Marine Durand are the focus of the novel Birds of Paradise. Aspiring to win the ballet competition prize, which would be a contract to perform with the Opera National de Paris, Kate is driven by ambition, talent, and ability. When Kate arrives at école de danse, one of the most prestigious ballet schools in Paris, she quickly discovers that things are not as straightforward as they appear. The competition is cruel and cutthroat, and neither team cares about the other!
After a rocky start, on the other hand, she quickly becomes friends with Marine (who had recently lost his brother). They are roommates, and Marine is stunning, mysterious, and one of the most talented members of her team. Kate comes from a less financially secure background, whereas Marine is the daughter of an American ambassador to the United Nations. Notably, this factor plays an important role in the development of their life stories.
A bit tricky for comprehension
Birds of Paradise is a beautiful film, but it may take some time for viewers to comprehend what is going on because director Smith employs dreamlike hazy sequences that add to the symbolism in the film, which includes friendship, power, fear, sex, and rivalry.
Throughout the film, the story of two girls who are both desperate for glory in their own ways is woven into a large fabric that becomes increasingly complicated as time goes on. For the most part, the film is held together by the way these characters grow close to each other only to fall apart and leave each other bruised. Throughout the course of Birds of Paradise, it becomes clear that the characters are more concerned with one another, with relationships, and with winning than they are with the art form itself. For the purposes of this discussion, it has been reduced to the level of a path in their overall journey of self-discovery
Matches with the expectation of young blood
Additionally, there is a specific aesthetic that the film adheres to, which includes fantasy, sexual activities, and other elements, and which is played out through the use of props such as Plague doctor masks, the jungle, and other settings.
Birds of Paradise is a well-made film that is appropriate for adolescents and young adults. It’s not a film for the whole family. Birds of Paradise’s work explores a variety of themes and symbols, as well as mind games, institutional warfare, art and wealth, and other topics. The film, which has a running time of approximately 90 minutes, goes through a number of themes and attempts to play them all out perfectly in the process. Although there are some typical teenage film troops in this film as well, I believe that they are unavoidable in any film that is directed at teenagers in any way.
Conclusion
STREAM IT, STREAM IT! Birds of paradise is a beautifully made film, and I believe that it has something to offer to everyone who sees the film. In fact, the concept and theme that the film revolves around can literally be applied to any mystical genre, and you will still enjoy it!
