last friday, i managed to catch Dance, Subaru! after a horrible meal at KFC. i wonder since when colonel kentucky broke his promise on providing a finger licking good meal. damn you unjuicy aneroxic little chickens. i digressed.
the movie is about Miyamoto Subaru who has the natural talent of becoming a renound dancer but didn't pursue it due to circumstances. its kinda saddening to see her live a life without his brother and mother, surviving on his own, as his father couldn't care less for her. loner as per se. later on, she was discovered and given the opportunity to pursue to a higher level in the dance scene. on a side note, i think she's really really hot, especially when she has a fever. don't ask me why.
to be honest, i'm not really into all those ballerina stuff, albeit being exposed to the dance world for a fair amount of time. nonetheless, the politics and the way things work in their world stumbles me. i can't believe enviness, impatience can actually push the human limits in achieveing something.however, i do applaud their precisiveness, discipline and preserverance towards such an astonishing art. the hiphop scene was below mediocre though. thankfully they have camera and special effects to save their asses. i've always thought the hiphop scene in japan is at a commendable level. hmmm, probably they were just saving Subaru's ass, trying to make her look good. by the way, the last contemp piece was really heart-moving. i'm amazed how much can a body express itself without any use of words.
i would say that it was an average movie for me. but then again, it struck me when subaru was questioned why she dance, or what she dance for. personally i asked myself that, and i couldn't find the answer to it. whatever it is, the soul is enlighten everytime the rythym of the song kicks in and my body will naturally reciprocate to it. it does give me a clear state of mind on top of that, casting all the disturbing thoughts aside.
another thing is that, how far would i go in the dance scene? i can't answer that either. but i would like to dance as much as possible, whenever and wherever i can. cos' for dance my spirit is enriched and lifted everytime i do so. hopefully, i'll use abilities as such to touch and serve the community, family, friends or whoever that is directly, indirectly related to me. for every moment i start to dance, it reminds me that i'm alive. and that said, i will dance as if its the end of the world!
