Shall We Dance

I'm starting to think this is more of a Anthro class than an arts class based on the movies we've been watching. This movie is a remake of the Japanese version released in 1996. I think the main point of the film is really directed at us guys who have no intentions of signing up for dance lesson anytime soon (although I might think about if Jennifer Lopez was my instructor too!). It's really a romantic comedy of an accountant with a fairly lucrative job who seemingly has all that his heart could desire yet feels like he is missing something in his life. In attempt to fill this void he joins a local dance studio and begins taking lessons. There is quite a bit of drama that builds throughout the movie around him and his family leading towards an explosion of events near the end of the movie. But definitely the general concept of the movie = don't be afraid of trying new things no matter what your peers might think ie: guys don't be afraid to take dance lessons. Although it may have slightly softened my view of dance I'm still holding strong on not taking lessons, at least for the next 40 years or so.
