The male protagonist in the movie lives an enviable life, with a glamorous job, a beautiful wife, and lovely children. However, the trivialities of life gradually wiped out the hero's enthusiasm for life. At this time, dance appeared.
As a girl, I felt sad and angry when I saw that John started dancing at the beginning of the movie to get close to Paulina. Fortunately, with the development of the plot, I gradually realized that Paulina is just a window for the male protagonist to change his boring life. The male protagonist doesn't really have a bad idea, but Paulina brought him to the world of dance. Thinking about it carefully, this may be a friendship between adults, and the appearance of the other party allows him to find what he really cherishes in his heart.
In the play, John's wife's remarks on her understanding of marriage touched my heart very much. The following are the lines:
Because we need a witness to our lives.
There's a billion people on the planet. I mean, what does any one life really mean?
But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything-
the good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things...All of it. All the time, every day.
You're saying, "Your life will not go unnoticed, because I will notice it.
Your life will not go unwitnessed, because I will be your witness."
Of course, I was also moved by John's revelation of his true feelings for his wife:
The one thing I am proudest of in my whole life...isthat you are happy with me.
If I couldn't... if I couldn't tell you that I was unhappy sometimes, it was because I didn't want to risk hurting the one person I most treasure.
In the movie, dancing makes people regain their confidence and enthusiasm for life, and also makes love shine again after experiencing the trivialities of daily life. It should be the same in real life.
Beautiful scenery, Shall we dance?
