Ripples of ordinary life, don't like the ending

In the library for self-study, I was bored and went to the bookshelf to flip through the books. I accidentally saw a "Japanese Love Movie". The name is exciting enough.
In fact, it is more appropriate to call it "Japanese Romance Movie". The book is divided into several parts. The first part is the fascination chapter. When you open it, you just see "Shall We Dance". The content of the book is spoiler. But was attracted. Even though I knew the content, I still went down to watch the movie.

Sugiyama is engaged in financial work and has a dull life, and I immediately thought of myself: studying accounting, working in a large company, boredom in the financial department... There are all kinds of similarities, and I really want to know Sugiyama's story.
Sugiyama is upright and responsible, attracted by the young dance teacher, just wants to break free and pursue something that makes his heart move. Sugiyama went to learn dancing.

I have always admired court dance and ballroom dancing in Europe, and any dance scene in a movie will make me yearn for something inexplicable. What I appreciate is the unique way of communication between people and the indulgence of oneself in dance, while ballet and modern dance are the arts that I cannot appreciate the most. I also learned Cha Cha dance in a semester of physical education. Although I didn't learn anything, it was a wonderful experience.

Mr. Mai experienced Sugiyama's original intention, and did not let Sugiyama go down the stairs. Sugiyama still went back to the dance classroom to continue learning dance, explaining that if he didn't, he would be told by the dance teacher. This apparent self-covert was almost identical to the choice I was going to make.
Then the story unfolded naturally. Sugiyama enjoyed it, and there were many changes in his life. Later, the family did not understand... Everything was very comfortable, and everything was expected.

I have to say I don't like the ending of the movie because it casts too much brilliance on the ripples of ordinary life it describes. In the world of dance, the dance teacher is like a fairy and a mortal to Sugiyama. Mortals can impress fairies, but they are in different worlds after all. At the last dance, Teacher Wu's last dance partner chose Sugiyama, who came in a hurry, which was too tacky. The contact between Sugiyama and Teacher Wu should be at a distance, and Teacher Wu should be looked up at in a very high position, but the ending of the movie makes Teacher Wu fall into the mundane world, destroying Sugiyama's enjoyment of Teacher Wu and the audience's enjoyment of the movie's beauty.
