Dirty dance is not dirty

Today is the third day of my trip in Ottawa. Unfortunately, it rained heavily in the morning, but I still braved the rain to visit the Royal Museum! Because of the heavy rain and walking again, the rain stopped falling into a drenched chicken.

After returning to the hotel at noon, I turned on the TV and flipped around randomly, and found that abc was playing an old movie from the 1980s, but unfortunately I made the wrong title, and I don’t know what the name of this movie is! The plot tells the story of a girl named Frances and his family going to the Kellerman mountain for vacation. From the beginning of his incompatibility to the acquaintance with the dance coach Johnny, he has an interesting marriage! It can be seen from the movie that the girl grew up in a strict family education environment. His father is a doctor and often has a serious face. His mother is more reasonable. At the same time, she also has a younger sister! Once, when Francis was going to a young man's dance with a local friend, she saw the men and women dancing some different styles of dance at the party, and she started to sneer at it! When Johnny appeared, she completely changed her perception of this dance, and Frances and Johnny gradually fell in love. Francis learns how to dance "dirty dance" with Johnny every day, and Johnny often gives Francis some encouragement and self-confidence to make her open! Not only in the dance room, but the forest, grass, and lake are their stage. They dance as they want, regardless of wind or rain, day and night, this dance is like a glue, sticking them together tightly!

But the good times didn't last long. Once, after Johnny and Frances finished a dance performance, Johnny's dancing partner Panny suddenly fell ill. The kind-hearted Francis brought his father to Panny for diagnosis, but after the diagnosis, he learned that Panny was pregnant and the child's father was a college student. But Francis's father thought that Johnny was not a serious person doing these dirty dances all day, so he let Francis stay away from Johnny, and Johnny also lost his job! The power of loveliness is great. Although the two of them don't meet and speak, secretly, Johnny and Francis still love each other deeply! Later, when the truth came out, Francis' father also forgave Johnny. The lover was loyal to his family members. The dance performance of the two at the final ball was amazing, and everyone imitated it!

The male and female protagonists in this film are the powerful Hollywood stars Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray. Chinese movie audiences are familiar with Patrick Swayze, who should have known this from the 1993 "Human and Ghost" A handsome, handsome guy. But since Patrick changed pancreatic cancer eight years ago, until his death in 2009, another superstar in the world of film has fallen. And Jennifer Gray was a young girl who just debuted. Her affectionate eyes impressed countless teenagers; but her husband was the one who played Phil Coulson in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.". The two cooperated in the film and the performance was very successful!

Although, the English name of this movie is "Dirty Dancing", which vividly reflects the history of American counter-cultural thoughts in the 1960s. At that time, the Vietnam War had just broken out, and the dark clouds of the Cold War shrouded in the Bering Strait. Kennedy would still be president, and no one knew the future of the United States. But the young people of that era didn't want to care about politics or take the so-called mainstream line. So dance forms like "hot dance" appeared. Many movements were a bit inelegant, and some lines also carried hooligans! But young people's beautiful vision of life and the pursuit of love are encouraged and deserved to be praised!

So the title of the film is "Dirty Dance", but its content is not dirty at all. The poetry and wine-like beauty in the film is also intoxicating, and the weekend dance party of the same young people can also find resonance with me, an overseas student. This is because young people from the United States, Canada and other Western countries have come here in this way. It can be said that starting from the generation of grandparents, we met through dance parties, and the same is true for mom and dad. In our generation, we should be bolder and more spicy. Body dance, come together with lovers. Because youth is precious, love is priceless!

    This ending is slightly cliche but it's really cute. 80s' stuff is just for people to like it for no reason. "Nobody puts Baby in the corner."

    The two scenes in the movie "Love" and "Dance" are not beautifully shot. generalization.

Dirty Dancing quotes

  • Johnny: No, the-the way he saved her. I-I mean, I-I could never do anything like that. That was somethin'. I mean, the reason people treat me like I'm nothin' is because I'm nothin'.

    Radio disc jockey: [on radio] Hi, everybody, this is your Cousin Brucie. Whoa! Our summer romances are in full bloom, and everybody, but everybody's in love. So cousins, here's a great song from The Four Seasons.

    Baby: [voiceover] That was the summer of 1963 - when everybody called me Baby, and it didn't occur to me to mind. That was before President Kennedy was shot, before the Beatles came, when I couldn't wait to join the Peace Corps, and I thought I'd never find a guy as great as my dad. That was the summer we went to Kellerman's.
