I obtained a double pass to see the new film “Mao’s Last Dancer” in a downtown Manhattan cinema this evening (18th August, 2010) at 7pm.
I’m nowhere near NYC, so I can’t attend. Plus, I’ve already seen the film a couple times. (That said, I can’t wait to see it again.)
Note: If you want the double pass, then please tweet @djsteen on Twitter.
Now let me blab for a moment.
My Mom — Suzie Steen — plays a role in this new film by Bruce Beresford. If she hadn’t, then I may have never seen the film. If I saw the trailer and had to decide whether or not to see the film, then I probably wouldn’t have seen it. (You should never judge a book by its cover.)
However, now that I have seen the film, I’m doing everything in my power to make sure everyone gets a chance to see the movie.
It’s a true story about a Chinese boy (now man — Li Cunxin) who traveled to the USA in the 1970s to pursue dancing. Yes, there is dancing in the movie. That’s not a bad thing, but most “guys” probably wouldn’t be interested.) Screw “interested”! The story behind the hardships Li took to get to the USA makes you understand how other parts of the world work and it makes you appreciate your own life a lot more.
I was going to embed the trailer in here, but I think going in to the film without any expectations is better.
If you’d like a double pass to see Mao’s Last Dancer TONIGHT (18th August, 2010) at 7pm in a cinema on West 23rd Street in New York City, then please message @djsteen on Twitter.
I can’t give the exact location publicly because then lots of people would turn up and it’s invite-only.

My mom (Suzie Steen) was also in the film. :)

JUNO DIRECTOR FREAKS OUT behind the scenes
This is pretty hilarious. I have a feeling it’s all setup. I mean, how can these guys throw a Christian Bale?
