However, the director of the film "Talk About Love, Dance and Dance" is not Takeshi Kitano, who I like, but Zhou Fangzheng. It has been said that in order for a film to be successful, it must have an excellent director. There is no doubt that Zhou Fangzhengxing is also an excellent director. The film won 14 awards of the Japanese Academy of Film Awards in one fell swoop.
Masahiro Sugiyama, played by Yakusho Koji, is an ordinary office worker, a typical middle-aged Japanese man with a successful career and serious work, and his marriage is quite stable. In everyone's eyes, he is a model of a relatively successful family business. But this kind of life, from another perspective, is also a dull and even boring and empty time to pass away.
In our real world, we can find countless Masahiro Shimayama. He feels that the nine-to-five work life is extremely boring. As Thoreau said in "Walden": "Our life is frittered away by detail", Our lives are being consumed by trivialities.
By chance, Masahiro Shanshan, who was coming home from get off work, saw the window of a building opposite the station through the car window. There was a woman with a beautiful face, who was looking into the distance a little lonely. This undoubtedly injected a sense of freshness into the unremarkable life of Shanshan Zheng.
The woman with a lonely expression was a dance teacher from a "Kishikawa Dance School". At a glance that day, Masahira Sugiyama was attracted, and the throbbing Sugiyama Masahira finally entered the dance school. Learn ballroom dancing with the woman.
The plot of the story is not complicated, and the ending is not unexpected. Just looking at the name of the movie, it seems that people will think of a picture such as a playboy hanging on the dance floor, but it is not. describe.
From the beginning when Masahiro Shimayama was attracted by this beautiful dance teacher, to the process of falling in love with dance, director Zhou Fangzhengxing showed us many touching details.
For example, he was hesitating at the door of the dance studio, but he was pushed into the dance classroom by others; for example, he was nervous when he heard that he had to pay 60,000 yuan to learn dance; The dance teacher's extremely cramped look after eating but being rejected.
The reason why this "Talk About Love, Dance and Dance" is outstanding is not only because of these details, but also because it shows a unique emotion different from love. Some people say that Masahiro Shimayama's behavior of learning ballroom dancing with a dance teacher is actually a derailment, because his motives for learning dance are not pure, but some people refute it, saying that he did not have a substantive derailment from beginning to end.
In my opinion, Masahiro Sugiyama does not just see the dance teacher as a beautiful woman. His feelings for her are deeper pursuits than love. For him, a dance teacher is already a near-ideal existence.
I think his admiration or liking stems from his longing for freedom and his passion for ideals, and the appearance of a dance teacher just brought a little vitality to his trivial and poor life.
Zhou Yunpeng said: "Once a person invests in a specific life, he will become a part of life, and he cannot be completely free. One must participate in life, and then understand what the freedom of the mind is. A lot of happiness comes from not being free. You If you fall in love with a person, it is not free. All focus will damage freedom."
Love is a very empty thing, and Masahiro Sugiyama's dance teacher is not only love, but a pursuit of beauty and ideals. If the world of Masahira Sugiyama is divided into two, then the world where the wife and children work is on the left, and the world where the dance teacher and dance exist is on the right. For him, the two are like reality and ideal, neither can be discarded.
Most of us may be Masahira Shimayama, and the poor and tasteless life crushes those ideals and freedom into pieces. In the end, we have to bury all the residues and fragments in our hearts, but those fragments will not be peaceful, always It will make you hurt, and it will poke you from time to time to remind it of its existence, just because it always looks forward to being dug out by you one day.
Fate has never been kind, and we, as all living beings, have always been beaten repeatedly until we are finally tempered into a suitable and appropriate appearance. Since the prosperity will fade away sooner or later, the splendor will eventually converge to the dull, and the ending of the song will eventually return to the ordinary life, so I can't help but want to ask: Shall we dance?
This question seems to be somewhat similar to Hamlet's famous saying: To be, or not to be: that is the question! Should we silently endure the ruthless blow of Kanko's fate, or should we fight against the boundless suffering as deep as the ocean and overcome it. Which of these two choices is more noble?
Maybe things are not so complicated, just like at the end of the movie, Masahiro Sugiyama finally returned to a peaceful life, and the dance teacher was going to participate in another dance competition. She invited Masahiro Sugiyama to dance together. This scene touched me a little.
Indeed, how many dreams have been wiped out by time, and how many propositions have been buried by life. But even if life is like this, as long as we are not willing to give up, as long as we still want to have and pursue, there will always be some good things that will be left behind.
Just like Masahiro Sugiyama, in the end he fell in love with dance from the bottom of his heart. About dance, about the bits and pieces in the dance classroom, about the companions who studied dance together, all of them have been remembered in his heart, although life will still be Still as bland as ever, but it won't be poor. Because he has been full of enthusiasm and desire for life again.
I remember a saying that goes like this: Only by seeing life can you love life.
Just like the English name of the movie "Shall we dance", when I asked the sentence Shall we dance again, I think my answer should be yes!
