I am a layman, and I always feel that flowers are not happy without leaves, but the power of leaves is an independent existence that cannot be ignored. Speaking of green leaves full of vitality, I think of an old inspirational film "Shall We Dance". It is not the ambiguity between the man in crisis and the frustrated and lonely woman that shines, but the lively supporting roles. Compared with the protagonist’s beauty, the supporting role is a group of old or ugly (in the general sense), life-stumbling failures and unbearable losers, and they are even more eye-catching.
Supporting role one, bald Aoki. Being in the office is the eternal cornerstone of not being promoted and being insulted and despised by colleagues. The green leaf index is extremely high. If the protagonist Sugiyama is depressed because every step is stepping on an idea, when he is promoted, he is promoted when he is promoted, and when he takes a loan, he never goes out of track. The way of living in the next thirty years has been set, then the supporting actor Aoki is not qualified yet. Set foot on this dull and luxurious track, the person with the label of loser. With this resentment, he threw himself into Latin dance and practiced for five years. During this period, even though his young and beautiful dance partner repeatedly returned votes, he remained determined. Just kidding, dance like Latin is not done by people without passion. Even though the original dance practice was to regain the self-confidence lost in the office, and to practice dance skills to achieve spiritual victory, the spirit of dance finally merged into his body, which made him put aside fake headgear and all unnecessary glitz and leaves. ,Be yourself. The small universe he had accumulated for a long time exploded in the dance competition, and it turned out that the ugly stone also had amazing energy.
Supporting role two, Obasan Toyoko. Obasan, who has heavy makeup, gorgeous clothes, loud voice, energetic, and direct and rude style, if you can't see the enthusiasm in her bones, she is just a fierce woman that makes it a headache or even annoying. But you can't avoid her influence. Without her push, Shanshan, who hesitated at the entrance of the dance school, might have given up. She also pulled off Aoki's pretending fake headgear, and the constricted fat Tanaka was sweating and tears to express the vague original intention of dancing. At the same time, she is the mother who brought her eldest daughter to her death after her husband died. She is a passionate woman who refuses to give up dancing. Even if her skirt is stepped on during a dance competition, she is more able to understand each other’s difficulties. . Such a woman definitely steals the spotlight, and she is so green.
There is also the blockbuster fat Tanaka. The forced inner monologue is the voice of everyone: a little shy at first, but gradually getting intoxicated, feeling excited, there is a spark in the mind, forget all the troubles, just Falling in love with dancing... At this time, I began to discover the tricks used by the cunning Zhou Fangzheng. It seems that the protagonist is the foil to elicit the main theme, but the main role is the supporting role. Love is the deputy, dancing is the master.
Zhou Fangzhengxing shook out a baggage at the beginning of the film—the middle-aged man was confused and attracted people to the hub, and then opened it to see. But the dance continued, and a crowd of tall, short, fat and thin people appeared one after another, each with their own story. It turns out that dancing will hook out the innermost things of people. Even if you repeatedly hit a wall in your life and get beaten away, as long as you still have passion in your heart, you will still be inspired. Then I entered the state of preparation for the competition, and reached a new level, the true meaning of dance was slowly revealed-it must have a pure mentality and absolute trust to break through the bottleneck and reborn. As a result, the group of dancers who were pregnant with ghosts, concealed, and defended themselves gradually began to throw away their baggage, scour out impurities, support each other, indulge in them, and reveal their true beauty.
Let's talk about people dancing first, but in the end dancing transforms people. If such a main line is not covered by deep and shallow green leaves, there may only be a pale story with a single line. How can there be such a rich layer and vitality. The precious green leaves are really indispensable, even if they are inspirational, they are different from preaching and convincing. It seems that people who have a little knowledge of dance or who have lost hope in a divided society should watch this movie, or at least applaud the wholehearted devotion of the disappointed in the movie.
