dirty dancing



1 hr. 26 min. Havana: November, 1958. Eighteen-year-old Katey Miller brings an innate curiosity--and a smattering of Spanish--to her new life in Cuba’s lush capital, where her father has taken an executive posting at Chrysler. Schooled by her parents in the art of ballroom dancing, Katey is expected to join the smart set of American teenagers who are the Miller’s neighbors at the exclusive Oceana Hotel. But Katey finds herself drawn instead to the proud, purposeful Javier--a waiter who also happens to be brilliant dancer. Determined to learn the slinky, spectacular moves that Javier seems to know in his bones, Katey persuades him to partner with her in a prestigious national dance competition at a grand local nightclub, The Palace. Meeting secretly in an out-of-the-way Havana nightclub, Katey and Javier practice their steps--their bodies aligning in a sensual harmony that mirrors the growing passion between them. As the night of the contest finally arrives, Katey and Javier are ready to take their place as a couple on the dance floor--unaware that the country club, and the streets of Havana itself, are about to erupt in revolutionary violence.

xiaoqiang says: if you have not watched the 1st Dirty Dancing. it might be good for you. 'cos i don't understand what's dancing got to do with Cuba's revolution. to some, it might be a crappy show. to some, it might be a move-your-body to the beat. my recommendation is watch it on the cheapest nights. *wink*

i got home late last night after watching "Dirty Dancing 2". while waiting for my hair to dry( will wake up my entire family if i use a hair-dryer), i watched telly. it must be my can-count-my-fingers times that i actually watched telly. was watching a korean drama( yeah, korean drama, think it's called " LOVE LETTER shown on CableTV 56 at 12am.)

i could roughly guess the storyline. here goes:

Andrew grew up as an orphan with his auntie ill-treated and abused him since young. His pastor-uncle came after and took him away to live with him. years passed, when andrew's real doctored-mum came with another orphan girl, Yinhe. they quickly became good friends only after Yinhe found out his past.

Yinhe came to realised she liked Andrew. they studied together under the pastor's care and orphanage. and made it together to university. Yinhe told him she liked him. but Andrew's ambition is to become a pastor just liked his uncle. and the story goes... yada yada yada..

hey, i only saw the 1st episode with some trailers at the end.. i can't tell the whole story... if you don't mind korean's sappy, griefy yet moved by the storyline. you might want to catch it.

xiaoqiang's says: when is the last time a girl you liked, asked you who do you liked; and everything seemed like a normal, common conversation. what are you thinking at that point? does she know you liked her? or she's totally ignorant? the longest distance in this world is not between New York & Singapore. It's not a pair of lovers separated by different time frames or dimensions.

It's you, standing in front of me and you don't know i like y.o..u...

*sounds familiar*
