Shall we dance

Shall We Dance is a 1996 movie made in Japan, about a middle aged man who lives a boring life filled with insignificance, finally meeting something that interests him, which is ballroom dancing. On his way home from work, the main character Shohei Sugiyama spots a beautiful woman, Tamako Tamura who he is instantly attracted to. He then decides a couple days later to go and enter the building where the dancing lessons were taking place. This action he had to do in secret because being noticed by others entering into a dance hall was seen as something embarassing for a man. Anyways he keeps going and taking dance lessons, and he recovers from his depression and finds a life of fulfillment. He was also attracted to his younger dancing instructor, who he later becomes dance partners with. Through dancing we see that the main character Shohei becomes a happier person, with less stress in his life, and more enjoyment. Culturally we see that the Japanese are less emotional the Americans, and tend to feel more embarrassed when it comes to close body dancing. Another difference is the language barrier, but besides that there really isn't much of a difference.
The movie was kinda slow, but i really liked the character of Mr. Aoiki who was pretty funny
