Life is like sailing.You can use any wind to go in any direction. All the world is a stage.Taylor is a born dancer in it.

From the bottom of society, Taylor can not give play to his potential since “dancing is just something the rich care for” in that practical place.I look up the title”Set Up” in the dictionary and find out an explaination saying that “set up” is to begin or enable someone else to begin a venture by providing the means, logistics, etc. It’s venture that Taylor is about to going through in his lastest soul until he accidently intrudes into the Marian Art school, a brand new world where his soul is surely delivered. Although with the dream,Taylor is not a people who will pursue after what’s in the bottom of his heart.In the contrary, Nora has a power to aspire or struggle for her dream, whatever may come.Nora becomes the to Taylor when their entirely crash into each other.

It’s out of question that the story of the film is quite simple.We

may easily guess the end in the very beginning. Neverthless, when it has something to do with the achievement of dream, there is always something touching my heart. Their enthusiastic music aroses my longing for everything beautiful,their dance steps pull my soul out of the lifeless body,and their rhythm of dancing guides my heart with them.

Dreams are today’s answers to tomorrow’s question. We all may come into a when we are confused about our so-called dreams. Taylor is surely one of the luckiest people achieveing their dreams. I want to end with a short poem:

I'll take the dream I had last night,

And put it in my freezer,

So someday long and far away,

When I'm an old grey greezer,

I'll take it out and thaw it out,

This lovely dream I've frozen,

And boil it up and sit me down

And dip my old cold toes in.

THE FILM REVIEW ABOUT STEP UP

Step up is a bittersweet story of youth. To a higher degree,it is a wonderful fairy tale that tells us dreams can come true .

At the beginning of the film, we see two different lifestyles of young people to grow. In the bright and spacious studio,the ballet dancers are busy with warm-up exercises; while,in a dark square of old factories or warehouses , a gang of young men who are likely to be separated from the mainstream social values are dancing at their will. However, although the two pictures display different environments. One showing the noble,elegant ballet, the other fulling of uninhibited and passionate hip-hop, but they repeat the same spin, jump, which let me feel the same love and the pursuit of dance .

Then, the film go to Tyler, the hero's world, he loves dancing, and then he did not dance limited,or obey the norms of general dance, but make some arbitrary, dynamic actions . And in the crowded,dark warehouse, we can see,even as a esne living at the bottom, Tyler's has inner courage and the spirit of fighting against evil forces. Moreover,he has two sincere brothers named Mac & Skinny.

In their playful activities, Tyler smashed a piece of window as a consequence of accidentally throwing a piece of glass.Then,out of curiosity, the three guys walked into the Maryland School of the Arts,which seems like a museum to them.In the initial, the three brothers do not agree with the students here. Mac regarded the students as some stuck-up rich folks, Tyler laughed at them because they all sweet with the shirts all tight like they spray-painted them on, Skinny made fun of the dancers' tights do show off their muscles pretty nice, though . From here we can know that people living at the bottom of society in the United States, there is a hatred and disdain to rich people psychological.

Tyler accidentally opened a door,a door laying the foundation of the whole story. The door leads them to the theater of Maryland School of the Arts, they were chasing,trashing the theatre.Finally,they made the theatre into a totally mess. Suddenly and unfortunately,with a bright lighted, the school guard found them.To help Mac and Skinny run away, Tyler undertook the punishment of breaking and entering, vandalism of the Maryland School of the Arts on his own.At this time,we know, Tyler was an orphan, with lots of problems.Because the judge said Tyler has been in this courtroom several times. The punishment given by the judge was 200 hours of community service to be performed at the scene of the offence the Maryland School of the Arts.

At the school for compulsory labor, Tyler met Nora, the best ballet dancer, sparing no effort to practice every day in order to climb to the top hall of arts . in Maryland School of the Arts in Baltimore. An unintended opportunity, Nora saw Tyler dancing to his friends, found that though his dancing was unpolished, but his strong sense of musicality and rhythm displayed Tyler's natural ability. Nora was engaged to prepare for her final shoucase, but unfortunately her partner got injured and couldn't rehearse with Nora.So, selecting another male dancer, became the urgency.In the choosing process, no one could meet her requirements,so the issue of finding a new partner really despaired Nora. But by this time, Tyler told Nora that he could meet her requirements of the male dancer, which was really astonished her.After a series of tests, Nora gave Tyler the opportunity and the two guys began to work together to prepare for Nora's final showcase.

The encounter between Tyler and Nora, represented two different cultures and worlds how to adapt to each other, and change each other.Tyler was one of those who have dreams but do not actively pursue, because many of the lessons he has learned to when his rise to the hope, there will always be a daydream; but Nora is completely opposite to Tyler, and she was one of those who are aware of what they want, and make every effort and fight for their dreams.

When they met,the two young face their own biggest setbacks in life, Nora's partner bacame a problem, while Tyler, from the bottom of Baltimore community, though he has discovered his talent for dancing, but his living environment did not allow him to let the talent developed. Because in the pragmatic place, "Dance is the thing of concern to the rich"

In ttheir training, they learnt a lot from each other which they never know before.Two parallel lines, intersect in the glorious dance. The dance combined flamboyant street hip-hop with elegant ballet ,can be a perfect fit on the stage, like the encounter between Tyler and Nora. This is a miracle, or a feeling,or a fascinating fate. After they linked together, makes their relationship once was tense because their life backgrounds were too polarized.First stage, they contracted with each other and had low-touch, they both considered giving up. But then,on behalf of both their goals, they had held a run-in period, and then kept changing themselves to adapt to each other.Eventually, they found a completely different self from the previous self.

Eventually, two people pushed aside all obstacles and difficulties.In Nora's showcase,Tyler and Nora displayed a wonderful showcase with the combination of noble ballet dancing and flamboyant street hip-hop. Benefiting

by the glorious showcase,Nora got the job offer from an Artist Management Company. And at the same time,Tyler got the transferring opportunity to the Maryland School of the Arts to realize his inward dream.

In this film,dancing not only representatives the dazzlingly visual dancing moves,but a sense of having a more positive life attitude and a healthy spirit of struggling to dance teaser to express inner feelings. The art of dance with the magical charm and temptation in this film,has high entertainment appreciations and artistic merits.

Tyler and Nora's dance with the biggest passion proved themselves and others: the life enjoyed with dancing, even beautiful than we can imagine.
