A movie for dance lovers only
I hate to be this person who doesn't agree with everyone else in thinking this is a great movie, but let me explain why I didn't like it that much.
First of all, I'm not a fan of these type of dances, never were my thing and I've never been interested in them, so this movie is very niche IMO, only if you are interested in this world you will enjoy it.
You may ask me, why do you watch a movie about something you are not interested in? Simply because movies are made to make you interested in those things, to capture your attention through story telling to the beauty of different things you are not interested in or probably never came across before, so you'll end up with a new perspective about new things. This movie failed to do that for me.
Second thing is the acting from the two leads .... It's spectacular and brilliant talent in showing a wide range of emotions that both characters felt.
The thing is, despite the great effort made from both leads Keita and Ryoma, I didn't understand the reason of those emotions they show, like you can understand the emotion but why did this character had that feeling at this particular scene, for example... And this could be a spoiler so skip... When Sugiki tells Suzuki about the first tournament with yagami and how he bullied her and bla bla bla to the end of the scene... Suzuki gets disappointed, he get on the train, Sugiki follows him, and kisses him, the other guys melt then a reverse Beggin' by Måneskin moment where he tells him
"I could be the beauty and you can be the monster"... And the whole scene ends with a weird remark from Sugiki that he's always inspired him ...
What am I supposed to get from this scene? How did we go from this point to that one? I understand the pure emotions they both shows but I don't understand the situation, I think my mind is broken or something, also I love Ryoma, so so much, but why does his character have this look of disgust most of the times ...
The end... It was abrupt, and weird. That's it, I'll say no more ...
I genuinely believe that people just get over hyped about anything that has a hint of a BL even if it's not that great, and if it wasn't for the fantastic acting, I don't see any appeal in the story none whatsoever ~
