I sat alone. Where else but on seat 7 in a movie theatre filled with couples on Orange Wednesday, the most celebrated couples day of the week. Damn, it’s the wrong movie, I thought that English movie about the two paraplegic guys was called Shall We Dance? Boy was I wrong. I wasn't hugely disappointed Jennifer Lopez, Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon and that great bald actor from Maid In Manhattan. It chronicles the story of a somewhat unhappy guy that has it all but is who starts ballroom dancing, meets new friends and thus renewed.
Based on a 1996 Japanese film of the same name, 'Shall We Dance' is a feel good movie charting his first steps to competition debut, shrouded in secrecy. Keeps you guessing whether he’s man enough to cling to his vows of monogamy.
What I’ll take from this movie is the reason why we play that life long game, seek 'the one' – you know the game where boy meets girl etc yada yada yada.
Witness.
Calm down, I’ll explain from my new found knowledge. Everyone needs a witness, someone to witness the good, the bad. One life is nothing without being, charted, noticed or - yes, you guess it - Witnessed by 'the one'
So with my new outlook on 'the one'. Let the Game's begin. Again.
