No. Not political visions. Ballet visions.
There was an article in the Wall Street Journal somewhat knocking the movie Black Swan for not being "accurate". Ok. It is a movie. It wasn't a documentary. Art, even movie art, takes on different forms of the same subject. The ballet itself is no exception.
Here are three different takes on the Borodin "Polevetsian Dances" (you might recognize some of the music from the musical Kismet - Stranger in Paradise for one example). See which you like best and answer me this: "Are the other two less worthy"?
