[The Beauty of Dance] There are two dances in Top Hat, which are the ultimate level that can be achieved by dancing on the screen. They were brought to us by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers (Ginger Rogers), respectively, "Isn't this a good day?" "(Isn't This a Lovely Day?) and "Cheek to Cheek" (Cheek to Cheek). Astaire believes that the dance segments in the film should be shot as long as possible with a complete lens. Their performance is not only an artistic achievement, but also a physical endurance. At one point, many dancers were out of breath, while Astaire and Rogers smiled casually and lightly. To watch them dance is to watch them sublimate a certain chore to the joy of walking in the garden: two dancers know that they can't do it better, and no one can do it better than them. .

[Plot] Yes, this is an "idiot plot", and misunderstandings can be eliminated at any time by a sentence that conforms to common sense. But sometimes there are some things that can only be shown in a fool's plot, and we are tacitly aware of this, and we are happy to cooperate with the story.
