People are in middle age, at an awkward age, and unable to advance or retreat. It seems that everything is a foregone conclusion, everything seems a little bleak, lacking some passion and change. So Sugiyama, a middle-aged man, accidentally caught a glimpse of the Kishikawa dance classroom on the way home from get off work every day, and was attracted by the lonely and beautiful dance teacher standing by the window. Since then, he knows that his life has changed a little. After hesitating again and again, he summoned the courage to walk into the classroom and saw the female teacher who made him a little bit stunned.
When Sugiyama first practiced dance steps, like other middle-aged men who came to practice, he was clumsy and nervous, always too tight, making mistakes from time to time and casting uneasy eyes on the female teacher. But the light-hearted rhythm of the movie has broken this embarrassment. Sugiyama has made great progress through diligent practice; and his life is no longer calm. In the office, on the tram, and at home, he will not forget to dance. , I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar. When the wife noticed the abnormality and change in her husband, the woman's instinct told her that there was something wrong with her husband, so she hired a private investigator to find out. After knowing the truth, the wife found that her husband had not cheated, but the distance between them was estranged; the wife felt lonely and helpless about this fact.
The beautiful dance teacher Kishikawa always seemed a little cold and alienated. When Sugiyama tremblingly invited her to dinner, she just vocally refused. I thought there would be an extramarital love movie, but it gave us a wonderful turn. And the following plot is mixed with the wisdom of the screenwriter in the humor. The cheerful and enthusiastic Toyoko wanted to invite Sugiyama to be her dancing partner, and Kishikawa also promised to teach them until they participated in the competition. They practiced, corrected, and adjusted little by little, and finally reached the final; just when everyone was applauding for their wonderful performance, they regretfully terminated the game because of a small accident.
This accident seems to be a warning to Sugiyama. For a long time, he was too obsessed with dancing and neglected his family, and he did not worry about the feelings of his wife and daughter. He resolutely decided to give up dancing and return to daily life. The most ingenious part of the film is to transform a possible marriage crisis into the most beautiful and simple emotions between people. Sugiyama walked into Kishikawa’s dance studio because of boredom, and the indifferent Kishikawa was moved by Sugiyama’s unwillingness to give up, and then put aside his long-standing spiritual baggage, and burned his love for dance again; Sugiyama’s colleagues were on weekdays. He went to work properly, but when he arrived in the dance classroom, he changed into "fancy costumes" and enthusiastically judged the two; although his colleagues laughed at him afterwards for embarrassment during the game, Sugiyama bravely stood up to refute them. You don’t know what dancing is!” The social activity of dancing can also extend human beings’ more care and respect for each other.
Sugiyama chose to dance as a form of self-relaxation in the movie, which sparked some sparks in his middle age and made a sensible choice in time. He knew that his marriage with his wife was a little flat after many years, but it was still with his daughter. He took his wife's hand at the request and slowly taught her to dance, and the estrangement between Sugiyama and his wife was broken. The ending of the movie was very romantic and ideal. With the lights shining, Sugiyama finally decided to dance the last dance with his beautiful dance teacher. When watching a movie, the passion and charm that so many amateur dancers exude when dancing will make you feel that dancing is really a beautiful thing, and you really want to experience the full and comfortable feeling like them.
Dancing, when the music starts, during the change of pace, you forget everything, just want to dance to the rhythm, let your partner lead you to tiptoe and enjoy the brisk feeling. This is a passion that has been in my heart for a long time. This is a throbbing heart that is indelible after the years pass. Only by dispelling it and burning your own blood will you truly experience the feeling of "alive" and feel yourself. His heartbeat, facing the other side of his true self. Then clean up your emotions and set off again.
