Turning Point

Posted by Claudia Moser on 8:03 PM in
This week's blog hop within the Writer Post Group is TURNING POINTS, which gives me the opportunity to introduce to you a older movie from 1977 with Anne Bancroft, Shirley MacLaine and Mikhail Baryshnikov.

The name? That is easy right? Turning Point, below the trailer.



Baryshnikov is one of the greatest and biggest names in dance, with an amazing interpretation of music and feelings. One of his famous ballet moments is The Nutcracker:



Isn't he simply great?

I've seen the movie and the ballet, they are both wonderful. I remember the excitement around the world when Baryshnikov defected to Canada which was a turning point for him.

Hi Claudia. I agree with you, Baryishnikov is wonderful. Of course, I still remember Rudolph Nuryev, and he was pretty special too!! I hadn't seen that film either, so thanks for sharing it with us. Have a great weekend, and HOPE THE SUN SHINES FOR YOU!!

@Karen - that is indeed a nice concidence :=)
@Beth - I am curious if you enjoy it, the ballet scenes are simply amazing!
@Christie - yes, of course! Enjoy your time!
@Diane - Nuryev was also an amazing dancer! Tomorrow they announced better weather, but I don't know if it's going to be true, let's hope!

So graceful, elegant, fluid, beautiful . I think I was a little in love with him, and Nuryev, when I was younger. I know I danced with them many time... in my dreams *smile* Thanks for sharing this beautiful moment *hugs*

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
