Shall We Dansu?

(1996)

RATING:100%
FORMAT:DVD (Unabridged version: Region 3)



[Shall We Dance?]

In the dance, there is the yearning that can only be fulfilled when ones dance moves match ones emotions; hence, the time spent here learning not merely to dance relatively simple steps but to attune them to ones emotions.

There are fairy tale princesses locked in fairy tale towers here waiting for their knights in shining armour to free them from the bondage of just such a lack of fulfilment - and to make them smile once more. The dance is not just symbolic sexual intercourse but metaphorical and conditional love, since the man must lead as well as protect the woman from falling ito a state of decline. Paradoxically, the dance imposes a necessary discipline – and resultant loss of freedom - which can lead to both personal liberty and happiness. The best dancers need true empathy to achieve real greatness – as is true in any and all meaningful relationships.

The extensive humour here comes from left footed men and their women being frustrated at same and the resultant difficulty of finding a soul mate.

Science:



No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.

Sleep of Reason:



The dream of reason produces monsters. Imagination deserted by reason creates impossible, useless thoughts. United with reason, imagination is the mother of all art and the source of all its beauty.



Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes… (1746-1828), Spanish painter. Caption to Caprichos, number 43, a series of eighty etchings completed in 1798, satirical and grotesque in form.


Humans & Aliens:



I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.



Terence… (circa 190-159 BC), Roman dramatist. Chremes, in The Self-Tormentor [Heauton Timorumenos], act 1, scene 1.


Führerprinzip:



One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves… There is no organ of conciliation or mediation interposed between the leader and the people, nothing in fact but the apparatus - in other words, the party - which is the emanation of the leader and the tool of his will to oppress. In this way the first and sole principle of this degraded form of mysticism is born, the Führerprinzip, which restores idolatry and a debased deity to the world of nihilism.
