I saw this movie by accident, and I always thought the name was very familiar, but the poster was very vulgar, so I never went to watch it. As a result, I picked this film again out of boredom, and found that I had always been "eyeless" before, but ignored such an excellent film.
This film obviously talks about a midlife crisis, and then I was really "frightened" when I watched this film, for fear that the male and female protagonists would be together. But I am gratified that this film is not so "ordinary", and I feel that the director wants to express a lot of content. I feel that there are not only the mid-life crisis, the troubles of family and work, but also the last love for dance.
The heroine is very temperamental. After checking it, she is a person who can dance, and she looks really cold and beautiful. Such a boring, old face. But in fact, I don't quite understand why the male protagonist has been avoiding letting others know that he is dancing. After thinking about it, it is probably the social attitude of Japan at that time that they do not understand that ordinary men go to ballroom dancing. . So in the whole movie, watching the male protagonist timidly hide from his family and colleagues to dance is quite frustrating, and seeing his admiration for the female teacher at the beginning is still very annoying, but the teacher's direct and clear refusal makes the The attitude of this film is clearly expressed. This film does not focus on the previous bloody love between men and women, but involves other emotions.
In addition, I think the funniest part in it should belong to the plot of Naoto Takenaka and the fat woman. It turns out that the audience's eyes don't have to pay so much attention to the protagonist, and when I watched this movie, I felt that the presence of the male protagonist was not so strong, but the supporting roles were much more interesting than the male protagonist. In fact, each character has his own reasons for dancing, and has a unique love for dancing, so this film will inevitably give other characters their own unique highlights like other Japanese films. As for the ending, because I have watched a certain number of Japanese movies, I can actually guess that the actor did not win the award, but made a joke, so I am not very surprised. However, this also avoids the happy ending of this film like other films of the same type. Although the ending of this film is also a happy ending, I think the whole feeling to the audience is still very different.
PS, I only know that it has an American version, but I haven't seen it yet, but I feel that the remakes of Asian stories in Europe and the United States have always lost some charm. After all, it is an Asian story.
