Intro： Fly Over the Soviet UnionA Soviet ballet dancer boards a plane that is hijacked to the Soviet Union. After the plane lands, he is placed under house arrest in an apartment with a Black man and his Russian wife. He is forced to dance for the Bolshoi Ballet again, while he only desires to escape... The film tells the legendary story of a Russian dance artist. The male lead, the famous Russian ballet dancer Bashilikov, delivers a breathtaking performance that stirs the soul - it's a white night under the spotlight, endless, timeless, a kind of gray seen through the eyes of a mentally ill person, with only a spinning shadow running across the stage being the highlight. Bashilikov has deep-set eyes and naturally curly blonde hair, not tall but sturdy; he possesses a genius-like passion, skill, and an extraordinary ability to spin quickly, always maintaining his balance upon landing regardless of how high he leaps... The film not only showcases Bashilikov's mesmerizing performance but also features the beautiful face of Isabella Rossellini, daughter of the famous actress Ingrid Bergman. Moreover, the film's theme song 'Say You, Say Me,' performed by the renowned Black singer Lionel Richie, is well-known worldwide and won the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 58th Academy Awards in 1985. In pursuit of artistic freedom, the internationally acclaimed Soviet ballet dancer Nikolai Drotchenko fled to the United States eight years ago under the guise of political asylum. Once, while en route to a performance in Japan, a defective plane was forced to land at a military airbase in Siberia. The Soviets released all other passengers but retained Nikolai, signaling to home and abroad that the defector had changed his political beliefs and returned to his homeland. To win over Nikolai, KGB Colonel Cheiko summoned Raymond Greenwood, an American tap dancer who had fled to the Soviet Union to protest US aggression in Vietnam. Unable to comprehend why the other chose to flee their own country, Nikolai and Raymond initially harbored hostility and resentment toward each other, but their mutual understanding eventually led to friendship. Nikolai agreed to return to the Kirov Ballet, with the intention of finding another chance to escape. Raymond's stance changed; he successfully helped Nikolai escape the Soviet Union but was captured himself. Raymond was taken as a hostage and exchanged for another captured Soviet spy, returning to America. This anti-Soviet Cold War film is a highly skilled production from Hollywood; though the story is clichéd, it is quite compelling: a Soviet defector escapes to the West while an American defector escapes to the Soviet Union due to his shattered ideals. 'White Night' serves as a metaphor, referring both to areas north of the Soviet Tropic of Cancer where the sun never sets and to a genuine nightmare occurring in daylight, marked by absurd brightness that makes it all the more terrifying. Mikhail Baryshnikov, the ballet dancer who defected from the Soviet Union, portrays Nikolai Drotchenko in the film, sharing similar motives for his escape, which was for artistic freedom. It seems that artists must choose between their homeland and their art. Although this film is not his autobiography, Mikhail resonates with the role he embodies, bringing it to life in a convincing manner.
