this movie wouldn't be possible today. cassel's character sure would be charged for sexual harassment. he's bascially the kevin spacey of ballet coaches.

Plus there wouldn't be any trainings or shows because of Corona.

If anything, doesn't the depiction of a creepy instructor seem more relevant?

The movie didn't laud it as good behaviour.

Cassel's slimy behavior will always be relevant in this sort of business.

[–] Ace_Spade (9601) 3 years ago

Depressing, but yeah, probably.

I disagree, I think that element aged incredibly well because everyone knows that sort of boss-to-employee harassment happens all the time. We all know this shit happens on a daily basis, and it's a shame it usually goes unreported. I think that made it very relatable to the modern era.
