2nd movie reaction paper

I have watched the movie of dancing which named Footloose. Because of car accident after drinking with five people, the village had banned dancing everywhere in the town.

After three years banned from dancing, one guy came to that town alone. The guy loves to dance and listen to music. The movie story is he had tried to re-permit dancing in the town and love story.

The dancing is important thing to young people who live in the town. Main actor said that dance is good for us. he gave the example that dance is exist for a long time ago. That is why we need dance and music. Last scene is all the people are dancing in some old factory. It means that people are compromised by dance. I think this is power of dance, unify.

people will dance when they feel happy, sad, lonely, and whenever they want. Main actor also dance when he feel angry for release the stress. The dance could make to express our feeling whatever we dance. We will know how to dance if we do not know how to dance. What we know how to dance, that is we know how to feel ourselves.

Movie Reaction paper

I have watched the movie about war between the Indians and the white people. I think it is not dancing movie but the dance has important meaning in this movie. 

Many Indians have invaded their properties by white people so all of many tribes of Indians had to run away from them. Many Indians finally has been together for against white people. At that time, one Indian was talking to other Indians slowly with body language because each Indians has their own language. The Indian gave a suggestion them that we have to dance for unify together. At that night, all Indians performed the dance together. In term of power of dance, I think that it is really amazing happen. They speak different language each other, but they danced together. 

It means that they have a connection each other without language. It could be realized that the dance is powerful and important in the history as well.

Chapter 1.

 I have read the chapter 1 of Dance in Culture, I really thought about purpose of dance by many culture. I do not know that there are so many dances such as Chost dance, Raining dance, and preying dance for god something like. The dance has their own cultural aspect of life.

 The dances have included dancer's culture and society. So, there are so many form of dances from each countries. Before the reading the book, i did not think about korean dances what we have or what we do. But Korea has also so many tradition dances of purpose, for example, when koreans are farming, they are dancing with song of farm work.

 The topic of Ghost dance is so interested for me. We cannot see or feel that there is the ghost or not. But many culture has Ghost dance for the spirits. But dancer who perform the ghost dance, they could be 'possessed' by the spirits while they are performing ghost dance. It was so amazing because we have also kind of ghost dance. I thought that there is only ghost dance in korea. However, many korean people have thought it is a supersitition. when I was reading part of ghost dance, I changed my opinion that It is not supersitiion, just cultural thing in our life. we could take care of the spirit even they already gone.

 Before reading this book, I did not have any idea about dance even korean culture has so many form and purpose of dances. I will study korean dances where they from, why they disappear or exist since now. It is good for me to know many history of dances and could compare with my cultural dances.
