Ever wondered what happens to old men? Strictly Ballroom. That's right, they all go strictly ballroom. Memories like faded ticket stubs in a drawer, and clippings of newspapers... and brief heart palpitations when a familiar tune is heard... sound accurate? There are lots of songs about faded memories, and I think I just put a little of each in the last few sentences.
If you are in a bad time of life; or can't put up with the present conditions of your mid-life crisis, we at MooPig Futurism Coalition, governed by the Kurzweil Vision -- suggest you go visit an Old Folks' Home today. Yes, the visiting hours at the nursing homes are 8 AM to 8 PM everyday. Few restrictions keep a visitor from wandering about in any and all the wards of Nursing Homes. Once a visitor found himself in the Alzheimer's ward. There was no one around the halls or doors except patients, not even staff.
"Once you start volunteering to visit Homes, then you come to conclusion to end your funk, and that betterment is in the present. These are the good old days right now. Yes, it is that simple," says MooPig Philosophy Department.
"Strictly Ballroom" is a movie addressing a very important understudy problem in 21st Century human society.
MooPig Wisdom purports that "the truest form of appreciation an audience can bestow on musicians is to dance as they perform. And the truest appreciation the musicians can bestow on their audience is to play with rhythm that makes human hearts want to dance. This is the total edification utility of our human musical heritage."
The movie states this special relationship through its use of ageless dance angle, music splendor, and every age of human being; and proves the possibility of rehabilitation for all of us. If all else fails, go Strictly Ballroom.
