	Shall We Dance? Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		Whereas "Strictly Ballroom" was an ugly-duckling fairy tale romantic comedy, "Shall We Dance?" is a narrative focusing on the liberation of the human spirit in a repressive society that dictates routine and personal associations.
		Sugiyama is not the only character that finds a renewed sense of vigor through ballroom dancing-- the object of his affections, Kishikawa, learns to rekindle her love for ballroom dancing, rediscovering the joy that had been displaced by the pressures of competition.
		"Shall We Dance?" is not as visually lush as "Strictly Ballroom", and in fact, the direction is relatively straightforward, without much reliance on gimmicky cinematography.

	Shall We Dance
		As his interest in dance increases, he stays out late on a regular basis and Beverly soon suspects that he is having an affair.
		John starts to understand passion as never before when a dance instructor observes that the attitude one must have when doing the rumba is that you must hold your partner while thinking that what you do on the dance floor is a vertical expression of a horizontal wish.

		Richard Gere plays John Clark, not an unhappy man, in "Shall We Dance?" He loves his wife and daughter, he enjoys his job as a lawyer, and when his wife gets that funny look in her eye and asks him if everything is OK, he says sure, of course, everything is fine.
		"Shall We Dance?" is a reasonably close remake of "Dansu Wo Shimasho Ka" (aka "Shall We Dansu?"), a 1996 Japanese film that set box-office records at home and won audiences around the world.
		On the dance floor, wearing a flamboyant hairpiece, he becomes a wild man. His dream: "I want to dance before the world in my own name." He fears he would lose his job if he did that, but when John joins the class, he gains courage.

	calendarlive.com: MOVIE REVIEW - 'Shall We Dance?'
		"Shall We Dance?" is a sleek Hollywood crowd-pleaser, more movie than art film, but its makers have wisely stuck not only to the spirit but often even to the letter of the original.
		Both films celebrate the enduring dazzle and romance of ballroom dancing, but Suo's version was also a wry comment on the way a tradition of impassive formality continues to inhibit ordinary Japanese people, where it is not unusual for men to go out for the evening alone while their wives stay at home.
		If the original "Shall We Dance?" was a film ripe for a Hollywood remake, the new "Shall We Dance?" cries out to become a stage musical in its next incarnation.

		The story is slight -- a married man, intrigued by the figure of a woman in the window of a dance school, overcomes initial resistance and clandestinely goes to the school, signing up for lessons.
		It turns out that it is not the woman, but the dance itself that proves liberating for him, providing a positive emotional punch to a life that had become routine and rather joyless.
		The initial motivation in going to the dance studio was the figure of the girl, Paulina (Jennifer Lopez), so that Clark's original itch was for some extra-marital activity, information he would not likely share with his wife.

		It was of course skill in dancing that was needed to perform the role of Sugiyama in "Shall We Dance?".
		Thirty minutes after starting the dancing practice, my awkwardness disappeared and I was able to do it in a more relaxed manner; after all it was 'work'.
		The essence of Sugiyama's role is that he gradually improves his dancing as the story develops, so naturally he can't dance well from the first moment.

		Actually, they’re onstage at the Joyce Theater, speaking lines he wrote for them—this is not the dance equivalent of reality TV—but in Private Lives of Dancers 2003, Gordon has dispensed with many of the other boundaries that normally separate onstage from off.
		Dance is both medium and metaphor here, and it brings us one of his very best works.
		This question emerges with bittersweet clarity in a streak of pure dancing set to a wonderfully edgy, clangy, relentless score by Michael Gordon (no relation).

		Only Lopez, the film's ostensible star, seems to be struggling; she's a lovely dancer, but the only reason Lopez's expressionless performance isn't this sweet picture's downfall is that the script makes so few demands on her.
		Shall We Dance?, which roams all over the emotional map without landing anywhere, is an unwieldy mess that gives every impression of having been made under a mandate to fill the Miramax crowd-pleaser slot.
		The low point of the new Shall We Dance comes when Miss Paulina finally confesses why she's so sad.

		Trivia: The title comes from the Rodgers and Hammerstein song, "Shall We Dance", written for 1951 Broadway musical "The King and I".
		One of the main reasons this movie would never work in an American telling is that the reserved, ultra socially conservative character of the public Japanese persona is at issue in this movie.
		Certainly the main character awakens to a more full understanding of living a vivacious life through dance, but half of the movie's tension comes from the stereotypes and ridicule ballroom dancers face in Japan.
