🎞 ¡Hola! ¡Hola! 🎞
Al son que me toquen bailo (2019)
I love it when I want to enjoy a good movie and my algorithm tells me, “This is just what you're looking for 😉!” If you like Latin culture, realism, comedy, reflection, love, and lots of dancing, you'll find it here: Al son que me toquen bailo (2019) Here are the reasons why you should watch it NOW!
The actors Variel Sánchez is an actor I follow because of other performances he has given, and I like his hyperactivity in his characters; he is not the most handsome, as protagonists are expected to be, but is your prince a real prince? 😆. That's why I think that physical appearance is not the only thing that matters, but talent, and this guy has that in spades. Also, his dance moves and the flair with which he performs them keep you entertained throughout the film. Linda Lucía Callejas is, as Colombians would say, DIVINE! In everything she performs, and even though it's not about her, it's impossible not to highlight her dancing and presence in the film. All the actors, in the different stages, add their touch of drama, comedy, dancing, lots of dancing, so it's not difficult to recognize them and follow the thread of the film in an easy and fresh way.
The dance I identified with the film from the very first minute because it begins with a house where a huge party is taking place 😊. In our countries (Colombia being a neighbor), it's very common for everything to be a celebration. All it takes is for several family members or neighbors to get together for the party to start because the desire is always there. That's how we grow up as children, young people, adults, and it's something totally normal and allowed. From that moment on, I said: this is my movie 😎. I can relate to every situation Daniel goes through because I don't remember how I learned to dance or the first time I went out without my parents, but these are all situations that we all go through, EVERYONE! In one way or another, and he tells it so realistically that I said, “WOW!” Seriously, my mother was like that, and I remember the fights that broke out at parties, which ended with us laughing and getting scolded by our parents. All these situations shown in the movie are accompanied by music, and it's incredible to see how disco music, for example, has been around for almost 50 years; as far as I'm concerned, they still play it at parties, and I still dance to it just the same. In my city, it's very common to go to theme parties, and it's a delight to enjoy the way people dance, dress, do their hair, and all those things from that era. They keep moving forward and explain the tropical rhythms very well, going from Dominican merengue to the popular Macarena to the songs from the early 2000s, such as “Aserejé,” which was linked to satanic rituals. My goodness! I loved all the songs, the rhythms, the dances, the choreography, the moments, and best of all, I knew about 90% of all the songs that were played 😊.
The context Like any era we've lived through, the details of the houses, the cars, the clothes, the nightclubs, the jobs they had before—look, everything is so beautiful that if someone says, “That chandelier isn't from 1990, it's from 1989,” you'd want to shut them up, because all the details are so well done and the transitions are spectacular. I loved it! Also, the codes that were used before with the kids, at the disco, at work, believe me, you'll really enjoy it.
Elizabeth: -¡Y hasta dos!
Daniel: Hoy está más bonita que nunca ❤️.
Elí: Debe ser el amor que se me sale por los poros...
Daniel: La amo mucho... Cada vez que bailamos, un poquito más ❤️.
Hasta la próxima

Love This was definitely one of my favorite parts. It's true that you go through a lot when you're not the most attractive person in the room and there's competition. Thankfully, we grow up and those details fade into the background. But it's wonderful to see how they fell in love and how that love lasted until the end of the movie. I loved the ending because it not only talks about romantic love, but also about the love that should prevail in families; not all families are perfect, but within that imperfection, we can all make it our safe place to always return to. Maybe it's because I'm already in that transition stage to old age that I now focus on seeing my life partner with peace and joy, and I love those stories with “old people included.” The lesson of the film is that each stage, time, and era has its own way of relating and understanding. We don't know what will happen tomorrow, but if we carry it with music and joy in our hearts, everything will look more beautiful.
To conclude, I want to leave you with a final quote from the film, so that you will fall in love with it as much as I did: Daniel: Can I tell you something, ma'am? Elizabeth: -And even two! Daniel: Today you are more beautiful than ever ❤️. Elí: It must be the love that is pouring out of my pores... Daniel: I love you so much... Every time we dance, a little bit more ❤️.
