		‘Red Shoes’ also courts attention with its emphasis on the feel and look of the movie; the pink, red and other bold colours are utilized greatly in the movie.
		Sun-jae is a special character, part of the design of ‘Red Shoes’; without doubt, Hye-soo has successfully injected such personality into Sun-jae; cold, fragile yet trembling with the desperate need for love and revenge are the very essence of her ambivalent personality.
		Despite its merits, I would liken the experience of watching ‘Red Shoes’ to munching on a sausage-roll overly filled with mustard sauce; sometimes, too much of a good thing might not be the best option.

	The Red Shoes. Andersen, Hans Christian. 1909-14. Tales. The Harvard Classics
		In the middle of the village lived an old shoemaker’s wife; she sat and sewed, as well as she could, a pair of little shoes, of old strips of red cloth; they were clumsy enough, but well meant, and the little girl was to have them.
		In the afternoon the Old Lady was informed by every one that the shoes were red; and she said it was naughty and unsuitable, and that when Karen went to church in future, she should always go in fl shoes, even if they were old.
		By the church door stood an old invalid soldier with a crutch and a long beard; the beard was rather red than white, for it was red altogether; and he bowed down almost to the ground, and asked the Old Lady if he might dust her shoes.

		And in winter she had to wear thick wooden shoes that chafed her ankles until they were red, oh, as red as could be.
		The first time Karen wore her new red shoes was on the very day when her mother was buried.
		Karen was sure that this happened because she wore red shoes, but the old lady said the shoes were hideous, and ordered them burned.

	EUFS: The Red Shoes
		The ballet of the red shoes is the centrepiece occupying the central portion of the film and rightly so for this is a film about ballet and Powell needed to showcase the talents of the dancers — most notably Moira Shearer, one of the greatest dancers in the United Kingdom at the time.
		The composer and dancer fall in love, he composes a ballet for her, The Red Shoes, based on Hans Christian Anderson's tale about a girl first obsessed with, then possessed by a pair of red shoes which ultimately dance her to her death.
		The Red Shoes is a superb film and should be seen again and again and again.

	The Red Shoes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		They told me that shoes that showed such use had passion, had history, had the signature of the dancer, had the very life of Dance infused in their soles.
		Shoes with their satin threads flened and snapped at the toe, their kidskin soles worn through, and their frayed ankle ribbons reduced to trembling wisps of silk straining to keep their integrity: these were the ones that paid my rent.
		If I can tip a shoe or two with the blood of the dying, I may well be able to take a vacation, perhaps even treat myself to a ticket to the Congressional Ballet.

	BALLET of the DOLLS -- The Red Shoes
		This "Red Shoes" revival benefits from open sightlines and a sense of intimacy that showcases the virtuosity of the dancers as they tell, in movement and mime, the story.
		"The Ballet of The Red Shoes" is from a fairy tale by Hans Andersen.
		At the end of the evening she is tired and wants to go home, but the Red Shoes are not tired.

	The Red Shoes
		In the afternoon, the old lady heard from everyone that the shoes had been red, and she said that it was very wrong of Karen, that it was not at all becoming, and that in future Karen should only go in fl shoes to church, even when she should be older.
		She looked at the old lady, who could not recover, she looked at the red shoes, and she thought there could be no sin in it; she put on the red shoes, she might do that also, she thought.
		Then she was terrified, and wanted to fling off the red shoes, but they clung fast; and she pulled down her stockings, but the shoes seemed to have grown to her feet.

	Short Stories: The Red Shoes by Hans Christian Andersen
		She looked at the red shoes, saying to herself that there was no sin in doing that; she put the red shoes on, thinking there was no harm in that either; and then she went to the ball; and commenced to dance.
		But when she wanted to go to the right, the shoes danced to the left, and when she wanted to dance up the room, the shoes danced down the room, down the stairs through the street, and out through the gates of the town.
		The shoes bore her away over thorns and stumps till she was all torn and bleeding; she danced away over the heath to a lonely little house.

	The Red Shoes (1948)
		The original story of "The Red Shoes" goes something like this: a girl falls in love with a pair of red shoes and gets her blind guardian to buy them for her.
		Powell and Pressburger’s version is a tad simpler: a girl falls in love with a pair of red shoes, dances the night away, is unreachable by all she loves, and is killed by her shoes which keep her dancing until she dies.
		The Red Shoes becomes a blithe celebration of this religion, with the suave antagonism of Anton Walbrook and the red, bristly hair of Moira Shearer.

	Combustible Celluloid film review - The Red Shoes (1948), Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger, Moira Shearer, Anton ...
		The Red Shoes was made by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, otherwise known as the Archers, at the height of their power.
		The Red Shoes is loosely based on the story by Hans Christian Andersen in which a young girl vainly wears a pair of red shoes, which then take over her feet and make her dance until she is nearly dead.
		Even if The Red Shoes were not one of the greatest films ever made, the Criterion Collection DVD would still be one of the greatest DVD's ever made.

	Edinburgh Festivals - The Red Shoes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		As the girl in the red shoes is always dancing away from her pursuers, this play repeatedly slips away from its viewers.
		Red Shoes herself strikes the balance perfectly between sexiness and dreaminess, while the journalist has a harder task, her character being less well defined, and her motivation rarely clear.
		Otherwise, The Red Shoes is a professionally produced play with disturbing depths that is definitely for adults only.

		The good news is that the poor girl's wretched life is saved by an executioner who cuts off her feet to free her from the fatal pair of red shoes.
		She watches in shock as her feet and shoes continue dancing into eternity and she is left a cripple fit only to spend the rest of her life being a servant to others.
		All of a sudden there's nothing else in the store but these red shoes and I sense they are meant for me. I feel their power as I am drawn in for a closer look.

		Her launch pad (the ballet of The Red Shoes) thrusts her into the public's adoring gaze but love barges in, in the shape of Red Shoes' composer Eliott Craster.
		One of the most haunting images in a film full of such sights, is Vicky imploring her husband to take off the red shoes, the potent symbol of being controlled.

		Despite such weighty issues, The Red Shoes is not an intellectual exercise because its star, Moira Shearer, is the most beautiful redhead in history, or at least photographed, and a magnificent prima ballerina to boot.
		Lermontov secretly attends one of her dance recitals and is enraptured and plans a new ballet for her based on the Andersen story, The Red Shoes, and he commissions Craster to write a score for it.
		Lermontov, however, lures her back subsequently to perform The Red Shoes ballet one more time, arguing that her talent is too great to be abandoned merely for love.

		On the other hand, the size of the interior and the grand piano may suggest that she and Julian are dependent on her aristocratic family, perhaps living in a wing of her aunt's mansion.
		She will later say that she has been continuing going to class, and has danced some roles, but evidently nothing major; and the satin shoes in the drawer - including a red pair - are her souvenirs of her time with the Ballet Lermontov, not her practice ones.

		Directed by Michael Powell and Emerich Pressburger, The Red Shoes is a delight on several levels.

		The critics who put down The Red Shoes obviously haven't listened to The Kick Inside or Lionheart, both albums from Kate's early career which although whimsical, unusual etc, weren't groundbreaking in a musical context.
		And I bought and listened to and loved it, whilst The Red Shoes was still under my desk (I am also a messy person), and I realised The Red Shoes deserved a second chance.
