let's dance

The role played by Richard Gere has a successful career, a harmonious family, and a life that should not be critical, but he does not feel happy. He felt guilty about his desire to pursue a desire to dance on top of a happy life.

Are you being too greedy?

He apologized to his wife for this. "I feel ashamed. We already have so much, and I want to be happier."

That scene in the parking lot, just a few words, there are many, many things behind. Susan Sharondon, who plays his wife, loves her husband and is deeply proud of the happy family they have built. For her, her world is her husband's world, and it is only natural for them to be of one mind. But when one day she found out that her husband's world was more than hers, she became unbalanced.

He danced so happily that he completely forgot her existence!

In a short scene, Susan didn't say it, but the words hidden behind her stubborn expression were: (Am I making you unhappy? Am I not enough to make you happy? Is the happiness you want a world that I can't enter?)

"It's not your fault!" Richard Gere said to his hurt wife More!)

It's not your fault, it's not anyone's fault. I should have been happy. There's nothing in life that can't satisfy me, you've given me a perfect family, I've got all the happiness that a middle-aged person defines in society, if I still don't feel happy, it's my own problem, not anyone else's wrong!

While most people blame others for being unhappy, how many feel guilty for it? How much of our real emotions have we sacrificed in order to conform to the image that the superficial mask should be? When we have everything, but we still can't fill our body with happiness, and there is always a vacancy, can we not feel ashamed for it?

Happens, Happens, when we ourselves, as outsiders, look at our friends and family members who have everything they deserve but are still unhappy, what we most often advise them is contentment. We persuade others to open up, persuade others to be satisfied, persuade others to cherish what they have and not to expect that it should not be theirs, and even think that the other party is too willful and greedy.

You and I should be satisfied. Who should sign the black pen and ink of the word "should"? It turns out that when we are constantly signing and judging the joys, sorrows and joys of the people around us, we also set up a frame of prejudice that is difficult to reverse.

When we judge whether others should be happy or sad, we lose ourselves at the same time.

    After watching this movie after the exam, it was really relaxing... It's the ease brought by the dance, the real and pure emotion, the love between husband and wife and the kind of skillfully growing emotion are laid out in the lightness of the dance steps...

    The actors dance well inside.

Shall We Dance quotes

  • Bobbie: So why did you all start dancing?

    Vern: I'm getting married in September. My bride said she'd like to see me lose a few pounds, thought the dancing might be good exercise. I told her it wouldn't work.

    [waitress gives him a hamburger and fries]

    John Clark: I think you're gonna win that bet.

    Chic: I'm here for the ladies, you know what they say about guys that can dance...

    Bobbie: Yeah, that they're great in bed.

    Chic: Right.

    Bobbie: Where do you hear this crap?

    Chic: Everywhere, everywhere the guys that can dance get the pick of the litter.

    Bobbie: I'm here for the big dance competition. All I need is a partner.

    [to John]

    Bobbie: so that leaves you.

    John Clark: What?

    Bobbie: You're the only one that hasn't said why you're dancing.

    John Clark: I'm dancing for exercise like Vern.

    Bobbie: Bull.

    John Clark: Because I'm lousy in bed like Chic. There I said it.

  • Paulina: The rumba is the vertical expression of a horizontal wish. You have to hold her, like the skin on her thigh is your reason for living. Let her go, like your heart's being ripped from your chest. Throw her back, like you're going to have your way with her right here on the dance floor. And then finish, like she's ruined you for life.

    Bobbie: [looking up from the floor] Yeah, why can't you do it like that?
