Shall We Dance?, 2004

Saw this movie last night. I also saw the original Japanese movie. Of course, the Japanese version was more subtle (They usually are.) We Americans need everything spelled out in living color (as a rule.) But I still loved the new version, with all the differences necessary to make the theme meaningful to the American culture. Since dancing isn't looked at the same way in our culture as it is in the Japanese culture, of course the motivation behind the secrecy had to be different. But I found the current version fun and touching in its own right. Just because it is a remake doesn't mean it has to be panned.
