Life used to be contradictory

Not being able to define such an idea is called spiritual derailment, but I have to admit that there are too few people who still maintain a sober family concept after being touched by the spirit of the hero of the film.

Several clips in the film describe in a very rare and authentic way the little emotions that have found clues between couples or lovers in modern life. It's as if this experience is happening around you and me.

The music of the film also hints at the development of the hero's inner world, just like what Tedu's wife said: I am already very happy, and I dare not ask for any more surprises in life. From the elegant waltz to the quick-step dance, no matter how the rhythm changes, the hero's inner world can only be vented temporarily in the short dance music, until the party at the end of the film, the hero is in the company of friends and family. Accompanied by cheerful music, the confession of heart and reality becomes simple and pure.

On the surface, the film seems to be a happy ending, without the deception of the family and the mockery of human nature. But I'm still thinking, when people reach middle age, when everything becomes normal and everything is as unknown as white water, whether the original initiative and original sense of pursuit in our hearts really need to be suppressed or hidden like ghosts in our hearts .
When we really do it completely flat, don't we really need imported surprises to create some surprises. . .

    I finally met Richard Gere, who is often mentioned by Hong Kong drama masters! Truly a charming old man. Music is nice. People have to have their own lives when they reach middle age.

Shall We Dance quotes

  • Paulina: And all this time, I've been hiding out at Miss Mitzi's, angry at myself, frustrated & embarrassed. But coaching you & Bobbie, seeing how alive you were out there, made me realize just how much I'd given up. And now, for the first time in a long time, I WANT to dance again. So, I need to thank you. Thank you, for helping me to see this.

  • Paulina: What made you wanna dance?

    John Clark: You. Looking out that window, right there. You could see it from the train. Every night, I'd come home from work & I'd look for you, your face... you looked on the outside the way I was feeling on the inside.

    Paulina: I was watching you, too. From the window, I saw you practicing on the platform.

    John Clark: No? Uhh.

    Paulina: That night I said all those thing to you, I didn't think I'd ever see you again. But you kept coming back.

    John Clark: I didn't want to. I figured if I hadn't, you would have been right about everything you accused me of. Then, I started dancing and found I really liked it. It made me happy!

    Paulina: Yes, it shows.
