Life should be like singing and dancing

The summary of the Japanese version of "Talking about Love, Dancing and Dancing":

Sugiyama is a middle-level cadre in a company. He earns a stable salary from nine to five every day. He also has a marriage with no major problems and a life with few changes. A little sense of emptiness. One day Sugiyama saw a dance school next to a subway station. A beautiful woman appeared at the school window, with a little sadness. When he passed by the subway station every day after get off work, he had to look at the window. Finally, he finally crossed. Entered the door of the dance school. In school, he accidentally found his colleague Naoto Takenaka. During the day, he was a regular office clerk, but at night, he was an enthusiastic Latin dance dancer. The dance movements were passionate and exaggerated, unlike those in the daytime. The story is of course not a traditional extramarital love plot. Shanshan Ding is a guest who walks into the hearts of others. He tentatively breaks into the hearts of others, but makes his life deviate. It also shows that a little bit of difference can be The boredom in people's hearts is temporarily swept aside, so that life will grow out of the way, adding a touch of sensation to the plain life.

In "Liao Zhai", the scholar always goes on a date with a ghost girl in the dead of night, or suddenly hits a fox fairy while walking on a country road, and can't let others know about it during the day. Such a secret becomes a demon when he keeps it. The book's birthday gradually became haggard, and finally realized that I met a ghost and a fox, and I was in panic all day. When Sugiyama went to learn to dance, he was also tight-lipped about his family. He wanted to stop it several times. The sadness of the beautiful female teacher led him into a world that he had never set foot in. The other students in the dance class had their own personalities in life. Defects, seeing each other, are all unfortunate people, but the painful defects are described in a light-hearted and funny style, which contrasts Sugiyama's restraint and makes him feel like a scholar who meets a fox fairy.

The word "derailment" has the meaning of betraying morality. "Being in compliance" cannot offset the psychological fatigue caused by a boring life. When the two meet, the heart can not help but follow the "derailment". In the film, the subject of Sugiyama's deviance is dance, not the female teacher, so the title of the film is "Talking about love, dancing and dancing", not "Talk about love, talk about love". The teacher’s initial indifference and sadness led to Sugiyama’s derailment. In an environment different from daily life, he discovered a new world. Dancers with different life experiences supported and encouraged each other in order to win dance competitions. During this process, Shanshan was able to penetrate into the teacher's heart, but he always showed the demeanor of a gentleman, sentimental and ruthless like the transition of dance steps, clear but unnoticeable.

At the end of the film, the teacher waits for Sugiyama to dance the last dance under the spotlight, but Sugiyama hesitates to get on the subway home. He thought that the dance would end, but the movie still has a perfect ending: Sugiyama returns to the dance floor, teacher With knowing smiles, they walked into the dance floor arm in arm, the spotlight followed them to complete the final waltz, and the teacher gently chanted the rhythm: slow slow quick, slow slow quick, relaxation, sliding..., the rhythm was tense and Transformed while slack, his figure fluctuated with the melody. Life should be like singing and dancing, slow, slow, fast, relaxing, sliding..., or relaxed like a skirt swinging in a dance skirt, but I don't know who I will meet next time, and where I will meet? Would it still be so restrained?

    A movie that makes people feel truly happy.

    White-collar workers who are trapped in the office should be able to experience the spiritual release brought about by dancing in the movie. Hollywood can't interpret this kind of subtle feelings between men and women, and Japanese movies can be so subtle and delicate.
