7.8 points?

On the whole, the story is relatively simple, with a single clue, and the core is probably: dance is a good way to help people get out of trouble. However, this "dance" can also be understood as an opportunity, a source of strength for people in difficult situations to break the status quo. This can be obtained through active creation or through passive influence. The male protagonist should have encountered an opportunity by chance. The ending is more ideal, such as helping the male protagonist get out of the status quo of losing passion, helping the dance teacher regain his cognition of dance, and achieving the fat man's marriage, etc.

There are two points that impress me. First, the husband's wife's understanding of marriage. She said that the meaning of marriage is to witness. People will experience many things in their life, and they need to witness together. She has her own career, the role of the wife is also very good, and her life is relatively transparent. Even though she has been confused for a while because she suspects her husband is cheating, she still looks at this matter rationally. It is foreseeable that even if her husband is cheating. If she is derailed, she will not live dimly, she is a powerful person in her heart. The second is the fat dance teacher. She is venomous, but her love and respect for dance is very real, including her hard work and dedication. This character is more to the point. She uses actions to understand and convey dance.

In general, the film is still very idealized, in fact, it contains many details of human weakness, which are deliberately avoided. For example, the male protagonist's original motivation to dance, his strange affection for the dance teacher, etc., cannot stand scrutiny. However, the movie is not life in the first place, it is too realistic, and it is boring to watch.
