As a complement of chapter 6 we saw two versions of the movie shall we dance? The original movie is Japanese and is called shall we dansu? And the other one is the USA version (2004).
The main differences of the movies are:
According to the following diagram the movie is classify in:
The USA version developed in different scenarios as home, dance studio and the subway in those places he interact with his family (daughter and wife), he also feature some chores as cooking and taking care of the house, at the dance studio he interact with the instructor and his class mates, he enroll himself at the academy and he practice his dance skills in those places he manipulate certain objects as his cell phone, his briefcase and the broom (to practice dancing)...
The Japanese version was very similar to the USA version but the part of the movie that we saw placed at the dance floor and like a ´casino´ in those places he plays with the slots machines and he dance with a lady, also he arrives late to this place. In those places he manipulates artifacts as his watch, his briefcase, the slot machine...
I think that the significance of these movies in my life was very simple, with those movies I was able to see how the context could change in different cultures, how one of then it is like more close to me, and the other feels totally indifferent.
Appropriateness questions
Who? In the movie we see characters as, the businessman (main actor), two dance teachers, dance classmates, bussinesman wife and daughter, daughter friends and more.
What? The messages expressions are tacit and explicit, the main character interacts directly with the rest of the people but sometimes he does not talk, but we still are able to figure out what he is talking, because he talks through his eyes or body language.
Where? A big part of the movie take place in the businessman house or at the dance studio, he also spends a lot of time in the subway because is his main transport medium
When? The dance classes occur at night, once per week and the rest of his live take place after this activity, so take place at morning- afternoon the seven days of the week
Why? Into the practices, taking as base dance classes, I conclude that the main way of expression is tacit because the body is the main way of communication
How? As mention in the why, section I will conclude that is a non-verbal practice, that uses kinesics (facial expressions, posture), oculesics (eye contact), haptics (hip and arms), and proxemics (synchrony).
