This was a very interesting film to screen! I enjoyed all the dancing, and music. There wasn't much talking, but you feel the emotion through the song and dance. It was a new, but great way to learn about this culture. I loved the ladies dark hair and complextion and their long flowing skirts that looked so pretty when they danced. The dim light made it very intimate, since this type of dancing is very sexual. It was neat to watch how the lighting made it easy just to see their profile and focus in on each dance step.
You could tell by the dance steps, the speed of the dance, the music and facial expressions how serious the tango is. These people are talking through their dancing! I wish I could do that!
The only confusing part about this movie was when Mario starting day-dreaming. At first I thought it was part of the movie, but then reazlied those were just his ideas. The scene when the military men were taking the women was very powerful, it was easy to follow what was going on with no voice. This was a very sad time period for Argentina.
I liked this moive and how it protrayed the message without much talking. The tango must be hard to learn, but we see that it is taught at a very young age.
