The hard lessons of life the extraordinary Sergei Polunin ballet dancer

I went to see the movie "Dancer" in the last few days. This documentary
about a legendary ballet dancer (relatively) unknown Sergei Polunin. The
film was released in 2016, but only recently did to Israel. The film slips
under the radar several red pill truths that are less obvious if we ignore.
I went to see him with a Russian girl, and she confirmed that the film is
true, and that history factory.
The film begins with Polunin sitting in an uncomfortable position,
breathing heavily. We do not know what happens, because it will appear
later in the film.
Background and History
The film tells the story Sergei Polunin showing images and interviews
friends, relatives and Sergei himself. He was born in 1989 in the city of
Kherson, an only child to his parents. It was identified in an early age by
local sports authorities as a great gym before going to the ballet. It
seems he also had great flexibility.
When 9 years old, his family decided to make sure he will not suffer their
condition of poverty. So he moved with his mother in Kiev to be part of the
Choreographic Academy, while his father and grandmother went abroad to
provide the necessary means for the tuition of the academy.
His mother was a major force in his life, to push him to excel and train
hard. At age 13, he moved to London, his mother has assessed the situation
and decided that this would be the best way to advance his career. However,
her family could join him while he was living alone in a new country
without knowing the language or culture. He was considered a genius of
ballet at the age of 18 became the youngest performer ever to master the
Royal Ballet of London. It has been compared to Rudolf Nureyev, the great
Soviet dancer who defected to the West.
After two years of tremendous success, Polunin began to "lose". He suffered
from depression, started partying and using drugs and finally quit at the
age of 22, he could not bear the pressure and just wanted to "rest." He
soon realized that he needed to dance, but his reputation as a "loose
cannon" did not help.
Finally, he participated in a Russian reality show ( "Big Ballet") before
joining Stanislavsky Music Theater and Novosibirsk State Academic Opera and
Ballet Theater. It is mentioned that Igor Zelensky, a former ballet dancer
and artistic director, became a kind of father figure to him. It did not
work well, as he left after less than a year there.

Then we finally understand the movie starts. Polunin has decided to leave
the dance completely. To do this, he reached out to his friend Jade
Hale-Christofi to create a final dance to the sound of the song of
Hozier "Take me to church." Before this dance party, he cried for nine.
After the dance, and the video went viral, he actually decided to continue
dancing and even made peace with his family.
red pill lessons film
To achieve greatness you have to work harder than everyone
This was covered by the endless manosphere (my favorite example). You can
see how much effort and training was provided in his life. At one point in
the film, he said that as a teenager he practiced two times more than other
children. We're talking about 1% ballet dancers in the world, and he
practiced harder than them! The guy had talent, no doubt, but he still
worked harder than everyone.

Balance is essential
Polunin, to my knowledge, is burned. It was ballet all day. In one part of
the film, he said that the body is so used to work hard if it takes a day
off, it hurts. I do not know if this is true, but even if it is - the rest
is necessary.
All night and party to work hard all day to get you both mentally and
physically exhausted. I do not care if you're the world's leading ballet
dancer, you still need to rest. Other commentators in the main being told
the film requires a hermit lifestyle. If this is true, you must make sure
to consider that as well. It seems that Polunin could not or did not want.
Which brings me to the next lesson & # 8230;
A father figure is essential for personal development
"Dispossessed" his father since the age of 9, Polunin has not seen his
father in years. The result: depression, partying, drug abuse and, in my
belief, an inability to relax and balance her life. Beta that his father is
portrayed in the movie, it was still a good influence on him as a child
(they say how they did things together as a typical father and son). No one
took as a model instead of his father until it is too late.
overbearing mother creates a lack of male maturity
At the end of the film, we see Polunin and his mother converse. He tells
her she dominated her life as a child, and she corrects - it control his
life. He does not know if she is proud.
The result of four years with an overbearing mother was that he lacked male
stability not only reach the top, but to stay. It is clear as he said he
asked his family not to visit him in all the years he was on stage. He felt
he was not good enough for his mother. This is not a sign of healthy
relationship. Which brings me to the next point & # 8230;
It takes a ritual for the transition from childhood to adulthood
Also widely covered by the manosphere (one of my favorite examples). To
switch from boy / teenager to adulthood, we all know that a ritual or
ceremony is required. If a boy does not become a man. Also part of the
difficulties of it.
Polunin has decided to dance once last time. He faced his self and drop
most of its inner identity. By doing this, he could understand that: 1) the
dance is part of it, 2) he could make peace with his family. This is my
interpretation. I bet others may have a completely different perspective on
the event.
This is a possible ritual
Conclusion
I recommend seeing the film because it is an interesting story of an
extraordinary person. What the film lacked insight is his romantic life. I
took time to look for it and found that our protagonist is not gay, but the
dates of a ballerina more.
Apart from this, the director has done a very good job in portraying a
complex person with an interesting life story. Also note that it had his
body tattooed with eleven different tattoos - a little childish and a
little sense. In all cases, lessons are red pill in the movie "hidden".
Just open your eyes to notice. Watch the video of her dancing; it is
inspiring and # 8230;
