与我跳舞

//www.easternkicks.com/reviews/dance-with-me

“Why do some people like to watch musicals?” wonders Shizuka (Ayaka Miyoshi), a discreet, kempt and industrious Japanese office lady working at a well-established financial company in Tokyo.

She exudes the air of professionalism and cautiousness typical of the Japanese “salaryman” and seems the least likely to let herself loose. “Isn’t it nutty that the musical actors swing their bodies and belt out songs out of the blue?” she reasons. However, after getting entranced into believing that she was born a diva by a charlatan hypnotist, Shizuka cannot help but turn into a boisterous, assertive, untameable musical lead dancing to the beat. In order to break the spell and revert back to a normal life, Shizuka needs to chase down the hypnotist and thus has many strange yet hilarious encounters on a wild road trip through the Japanese countryside.

A breezy blend of musical, road trip and comedy, Dance with Medepicts the story of a woman discovering a talent (for musicals) she initially abhors. Director Shinobu Yaguchi conceived the idea after seeing many foreign musicals. As he pointed out in a recent interview, Japanese audiences generally find bursting into song and dance very strange, and by making this film he hoped to cross this barrier. However, Yaguchi believes that he is tweaking typical musicals by giving Dance with Me an “anti-musical” musical element. Instead of smoothing the plot or helping to reveal the innermost feelings and thoughts of the protagonists, the musical parts often invite trouble for the leads, and could well leave audiences wondering if they are indeed watching a musical at all.

On a scale of 0 to 5, I would give Dance with Me three stars for the satisfactory acting alone. The sheer enthusiasm and liveliness lead Miyoshi radiates when Shizuka loses herself in dance is contagious, and at points it may even make you want to sing along. However, speaking from experience (as a connoisseur of stage musicals and those of Hollywood and Bollywood), I would say the plot is loose and could have been spiced up. Sure, the film is intended to be funny and light-hearted, but that should not come at the cost of not fully exploring the relationship tensions. For example, Shizuka seems to have nurtured a crush on a charismatic male superior who uses his charms to have the female clerks work on extra tasks, but in the end she gets over these feelings. The plot could be significantly more hilarious (at least for me) if the superior was, say, teased by Shizuka dancing around him and pulling off his pretensions, yet the actual film only brushes off the problem by having Shizuka turn down a job promotion. In addition, the symbiotic relationship between the elderly hypnotist and his middle-aged female accomplice deserves closer examination. In the film, they con people into paying for their non-existent hypnotizing magic, but it would be fun to see how this rare success on Shizuka makes them legitimate hypnotists, able to peddle their tricks and enjoy a greater extent of fame.

Unsure of whether to accept a job promotion, despite not finding genuine passion in it, Shizuka can confidently walk away from the winners’ career path (kachigumi) at the end of the film knowing that she has a discovered, proven and inalienable talent for musicals. This might be the biggest takeaway, apart from much-needed, stress-relieving laughter the film surely provides. Personally, it presents a cheerful (though unlikely) alternative to the monotonous, depressing office life of forever being confined in a cubicle and tempered by corporate rules. Just like Shizuka, people might have some undiscovered talent and unkindled passion. Hypnotize yourself, be open to suggestions and you might just stumble upon your real gift.

《与我跳舞》 6分 有三吉彩花的颜还要什么自行车！

————分割线————

我是觉得作为喜剧片这部自然是好过歌舞片的属性的，里面的喜剧桥段幻想的歌舞桥段和现实的对比、到前男友的婚礼上进行追杀、还有热情土豪的中国大妈、这些喜剧桥段是好过电影里的歌舞唱段的，作为歌舞片电影里没有一首歌曲和舞曲让我能够看完之后记得的。但是歌舞的元素是为了符合主题和造成喜剧反差，只能说顾此失彼吧。

从《神去村》开始矢口史靖导演基本就在和逃离大都市这个主题在拍片了，只不过每部电影用来逃离城市的方式不一样，《神去村》是回归自然还有神隐、《生存家族》是远离城市生活回归原始农村、《与我跳舞》那就是用歌舞情趣远离都市的压抑生活，可以说是矢口史靖的“远离城市”三部曲？

虽然不如《神去村》和《生存家族》但是作为一部轻松的喜剧片，看看还是多开心的！再说都有了三吉彩花的颜还要什么自行车啊！

在家里办公实在没劲，于是翻影片。无意间翻到矢口史靖导演的片子，我之前看过这位导演一共2部片子，第一部片子是《生存家族》，第二部片子时《哪呀哪呀神去村》。都比较符合我的口味，所以今天也翻到了这部片子。

看这部片子简介，是一部歌舞剧。我好像没怎么看过歌舞剧，这两年就看过国内的《跳舞吧，大象》，也算是一部歌舞剧吧，但是区别还是很大的。《与我跳舞》我全程没有快进，就这样一帧一帧的播放着。画面和故事情节还比较不错，里面几个人物的设定也挺好的。三吉彩花女主美呀，最后影片也放弃了更好的工作，选择和女二一起，生活本来就应该充满有趣、音乐呀。

还有他们在路边一起唱歌的那个女孩，最后把车子从骗子男那里找回来，最后影片，催眠结束，车子也还回来了，让人眼前一亮；还有侦探最后不要钱的在解决问题；这些细小的剧情，我都觉得很棒哟。

整部片子剧情还是很不错的，里面的歌好听，舞蹈好看！总之我觉得nice。

昨天我去看了日本电影《与我跳舞》。

豆瓣评分6,8分，说明剧情还是能看的。

我选择这部电影的原因是这部片子是女性主角，而且前面三个主角都是女性。

这部片子爱女的点体现在以下几点。

一，三位主角都是女性。

二，女性表现出了自己真实的情感。

一位女性在即将被男性亲吻的时候推开了他。

一位女性喜欢男色，于是就花钱消费了男色。

一位女性愤怒自己被男性带了绿帽子，于是就去他的婚礼搅局。

当然，这三位女士“对男性有恋爱憧憬”“以为自己花钱就能消费男色”“愤怒男性给自己带绿帽子”的行为，都比较不那么女权。

那么女权人士会怎么做呢？

因为女权人士会在男性想亲吻时候直接给他一巴掌。

女权人士清楚男性鸡贼本质，不会被骗钱。

女权人士根本不会结婚。

另外这部电影剧情比较一般，这个比较拉胯。

还有就是里面的男性长得都很丑。

男配角一长得像青蛙.

男配角二，长得依然像青蛙.

男配角三老男人，长得皱巴巴。

所以每次看到男性出场我都会先吐一会儿。

所以这部女性电影，大家可以有选择地观看。可能是因为这电影快下线了，所以我买的时候电影票只要二十三，当做打发时间也OK。

（评论完）

正好甜心要放松，随手遴选此篇，不用费脑。到的完了，偌大的影厅如果没有我俩就空场播放只剩费电了。日剧字幕模式还是有很多人不喜。第一次关注三吉彩花还是在《警视厅搜查一课长》中的惊鸿一幕。此句作为主演展现的是另一面。之所以只给三星更多地考虑是剧情，剧情的编排明显漏洞百出，心理暗示也更多地是套路，感情线也是虎头蛇尾，鸡汤感觉满满。不过音乐剧的表演还是值得称道，尤其八成优的演出，从某种角度盖过了彩花的光芒，增色不少。各色小人物倒是日剧常客，角色把握精准。这种剧确实放松，放松过后再次观看的热情可能就查了一些，因此没有给到四星

1.我喜欢歌舞片，至少是欢乐的歌舞片。载歌载舞不仅仅只有宝莱坞，满足了观影需求的片子才是好片子。

2.荒诞的片子就要欢欢乐乐才好。再荒诞，看完电影后还是要面对现实。那么沉重，我情愿在梦里是微笑的。

3.在现实里用奇幻凿出一条路，是为梦。奇幻要讲道理，一定不能说教，日本电影隐晦的，向内的，含蓄的讲述方式刚刚好。

4.我喜欢梦，舞蹈，当然还有美女。
