In 1995, Zhou Fangzhengxing's "Talking about Love, Dancing" tells such a story. The protagonist Mr. Sugiyama lives the same life as most men. He married at 28, had a daughter at 30, and had his own house at 40. However, the too plain life made Sugiyama feel bored. Once I took the subway home, I accidentally saw a dance classroom. The beautiful teacher dance was standing at the window and staring out of the window. The lonely expression immediately touched Sugiyama’s sprout. Heart. He wanted to go there to learn to dance, but Eastern moral values restrained him. After wandering many times, he finally plucked up the courage and started to learn dance.
Sugiyama went to dance practice every Wednesday. Over time, the wife of the family began to suspect that her husband had an affair, so she privately invited a detective to participate in the investigation. When Sugiyama first started dancing, she was absent-minded, always staring at Mr. Wu, and looking for opportunities to invite Mr. Wu to dinner, but was rejected by Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu said that there should be no evil thoughts in dancing. She is very serious. Sugiyama seemed very embarrassed at this time, but he soon adjusted, he began to learn dance with all his heart, and gradually found happiness in dance. After constant communication, the dance teacher gradually realized that social dance is a dance of two people, and the two must trust each other to truly enjoy the happiness that dance brings to them.
The director described the emotional life of an ordinary middle-aged man from the perspective of an Oriental, about love, about life... The love in the film is the love between Sugiyama and his wife, the husband is successful in business, and the wife is gentle and virtuous, but maybe it is Since people are in middle age, each other is busy with work and cooking life, but neglects the management of each other's feelings. The unremarkable love life gave her husband an "idea". He participated in dance training. His original intention was to see the dance teacher, and hope to dance with the teacher. Whenever he sees the teacher, he feels at ease. When he does not see the teacher, his mood is very down. The love between him and Mr. Wu is "extremely passionate and sensible." Although Sugiyama devoted himself to dancing later, he can still see his affection to the teacher, which is restrained. It is implicit, and it is the unique affection of the Easterners.
Another thing that touches me in the film is that it emphasizes that dance should be a dance of two people. Teacher Wu once said that when she was watching a game in Blackpool, England, she saw a pair of contestants accidentally fall while dancing. At that moment, the man supported the floor with his hands to protect the female partner from injury. In the end, the pair of contestants won the competition. The applause of everyone in the court, also when participating in the competition in Shanshan, he accidentally stepped on the skirt of his female partner, the skirt was torn on the spot, he picked up the skirt to "cover shame" for the female partner. Then, Teacher Wu told her own story. It was also an accident during the competition, but this time the male partner did not protect the female partner, so the female partner quit the competition angrily. She now thinks it’s her fault because she didn’t trust her. Dance partner.
Sugiyama's wife also sent a private investigator to investigate because she didn't trust her husband, thinking that he had an affair, but then the wife took the initiative to let her husband go out and dance, and hoped to dance with him, because she didn't want to see her husband sullen all day long. At this time, Sugiyama's daughter came out and said that she hoped her father could teach her mother to dance, so Sugiyama began to teach his wife to dance. At this moment, the wife shed tears, Sugiyama also seemed to feel the loneliness of his wife keeping the vacant room alone, and embracing his wife deeply...
Dancing is not only a means to exercise, but also to gain mutual trust and enjoyment. A way to immerse yourself in the state of selflessness dancing in the music, I think, at that moment, two people are one body and mind.
