Smoke 3/3

This last video is slightly sadder than the first two. For instance, the women is dancing solo for most of this piece, and though see seems to be dancing confidently, you can tell based on her expressions and her body language that she is either afraid or self-conscious about something. Once the male dancer enters the scene, he almost appears to take on a very dominate and powerful state that the women becomes submissive in a way.  Towards the end of this clip, the women ends up removing the male dancers hat, and his head is smoking. This to me represents a few different ideals. The first thought that pops into my mind would be that the male is enraged about something, thus causing "smoke to come out of his ears." While the second thought would be that the women finally stood up for herself, and in doing so has caused the male to experience a 'burn' to his ego, because he no longer has a strong hold on her. To view the video for yourself, see the link below.
