Lets Dance Shall
Thigh tightly pressed against his thigh partner. You keep it tight. Step forward – you are playing. One more step – and the rhythm of the dance itself makes its own rules. Nothing unusual, right? Except for the fact that on the dance floor …
Japanese! Still, land of the rising the sun makes me happy my film. The film "Shall We Dance? / Shall we dansu? (1995), "waited in the wings and take pride of place on my blog. What is lacking in the lives of the common man? He has a home, family and work. Just like everyone. But what he do if the soul asks of freedom besides it Japanese? Perhaps the title of the film immediately calls to mind the self-titled American remake with Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez in the lead roles. Taken all from the same script. And those characters same, and the situation, and even the office environment, where the main character works. That's just have one fundamental difference.
It is a dance. Rather, in relation to it. Dance in America – it is a very easily. With anyone and in any condition. But in the dance Japan, an entire matter, the unknown and complex. Ballroom Dancing in Japan until that time were even something reprehensible. In public dance, cuddle up to your partner or your partner, which, moreover, is not your wife. It is incomprehensible. It is in this difference between the two cultures becomes clear how important a role in the Japanese film is dance. Our main character, eager for change, not simply finds a new passion. He is also terribly brave. Not afraid predosuzhdeny conservative environment. And let him hide owl new skill from her family, even dancing at a bus stop and in the toilet – it is worthy of respect and deserving of applause. Know how the Japanese still make you laugh. Humor them even if not "English", but even then, that on the surface – so simple, cute and good-naturedly. Sometimes do not even have words – look at the character. As he says, gesticulating, and most importantly – how he dances! Of course, the same character there is a remake, but it is not as charming as its predecessor Japanese. Gere and Lopez, despite his star status, clumsy look at the background Koji Yakushi and Tamie Kusakari – totally unknown to us, but much more pleasant and sincere. Although both films are identical to the plot, the Japanese look with great trepidation and a sinking. And even incomprehensible mumble, filtering through Russian dubbing makes the film even more immediate. Just watching both versions, you can finally come to a conclusion as the original better. Although it is not surprising. How many can you count remakes, surpassed the original? No, really? If you list at least three, perhaps I splyashu you jig … And finally. You can know how to dance, you do not know how. You can fully love dance, you hate him. But how is it nice when a man is right for you, so what is, and just like you have been familiar, says: "Shall We Dance?"
