Shall We Dansu?

The Japanese culture portrayed in the film, Shall We Dansu, was a lot different from that of the culture in the life of an American. The people in the film were a lot more conserved and caring. People in America will give themselves up for basically anything. They seemed shy and content whereas in America, people will yell and scream at each other over nothing. It seems that Japanese culture and American culture differs greatly when it comes to every day life. It would be interesting to go to Japan and see it first hand.

"Shall We Dance? is a 1996 Japanese film. Its original Japanese title is Shall We Dansu? (Shall We ダンス??) which refers to the song, "Shall We Dance", played many times in the film. It may also refer to the earlier 1937 movie "Shall We Dance" starring Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire[citation needed]. It was directed by Masayuki Suo."

"Shohei Sugiyama has attained all that he has wanted in life. But he is still depressed and unhappy. One day, he gathers up the courage to sign up for dancing lessons. He hopes they will rid his depression and help him get his life back together."
-Robert Krzanowski (www.imdb.com)
