Reality and ideals
Laurianne 2022-01-19 08:01:54
The original Japanese film shows us the inner world of a middle-aged man. I think that after several years of stable and realistic marriage, the protagonist’s ideal life state has been shattered until the appearance of the dance teacher once again ignited his passion for life. He saw his ideals in the dance teacher, and gradually developed feelings for the dance teacher. This kind of feeling is beyond love. I often hear people say: There are six kinds of feelings between people. Therefore, we cannot simply attribute the emotion between the protagonist and the dance teacher to love, but should regard it as a more noble emotion that transcends love. The dance teacher seems to be the second beacon in the life of the male protagonist, once again showing him the direction of life. Dance has also become the catalyst for the second leap of the hero's life. We can’t accuse the male protagonist of being unfaithful to his marriage. He loves his wife deeply all the time. He just lacks the passion for life. Dance gives him this passion. Therefore, he has more of the passion for the dance teacher. gratitude. This film conveys a message to the audience: how to connect real life and ideal life mode through an objectively existing third party (philosophical term).

My last film in the Heisei era, I think this kind of weird and cute style looks at all of Asia, and maybe the Japanese can make it so well. There is a power beyond the ordinary in the light beauty of dance, and from a certain point of view, love is more important than professionalism - because professionalism is only the level of work, but only love can make people feel it from the heart. of happiness.
