Shall we dance?

Kulas and I celebrated the new year yesterday with a Chinese dinner at the Macau Pigeon House at Rockwell and the movie after. A good movie in that it has an interesting enough plot, the dances were good enough to make me want to applaud them right inside the movie house, and the dialogues are cute and witty. I like it because it's not pretentious and it doesn't fool you like most Hollywood flicks do these days. Dancing as a metaphor for living---not the life-altering epiphany you'd wish to get from a film but Shall we dance? would simply make you wish you have that partner to dance perfectly with...

i read it somewhere that the orig japanese version is better (bec of the interpretation of dancing as some kind of ek-ek in that culture ... ek-ek, meaning i can't remember if the word means "not masculine"... basta yun)

the reason the Japanese movie was more interesting is because it's very taboo to make any sort of physical contact in public, even between spouses; imagine, even more so with dancing, which makes brings physical expression of sexual desire to the fore.
