Lost in translation

Rylan 2022-03-23 09:02:35

A remake of the Japanese film of the same name.

I prefer the Japanese version. Yakusho Koji is more gloomy (the so-called sullen is also), which more deeply expresses the change of the male protagonist's mood and attitude towards life. The ambiguous and vague affection between the male protagonist and the dance teacher is so natural in the background of oriental culture.

And as soon as I see Jennifer Lopez, I think of her famously insured body part. Such an iconic body can't help but make people doubt the possibility of this ambiguity.

Some things, through cultural transplantation, will definitely not adapt to the soil and water.

Of course, dancing is still beautiful.

    An overly simple inspirational movie, flat and without waves. Dancing took up most of the time, Jennifer Lopez did a good dance, but I still had a hard time liking her. Shall we dance, mr. Clark?

    It's a remake of a Japanese movie, and it's not bad.
