History and Lessons behind Norma Rae aka Crystal Lee
How closely should film adaptations follow their source material? Let's take a deep dive into "Norma Rae", and find out.
Circus Life
Circus themed films usually provides a thrilling drama. The relatively obscure "Schatten der Manege" provides just what you'd expect. Doing the trapeze act angle, combining it with romance and jealousy for a darker plot, it has a lot of the right the ingredients. Does have moments where it spends too long of circus footage, which ruins some of the pacing, but otherwise a fine circus flick.
