Save the Last Dance [DVD]

A classic. Love this as a stay home, binge snack, self-care night movie! The dancing, singing & storyline.Wish it were free for prime members. Honestly reviewed.

"Save The Last Dance" drew me into the story. I cared about Sara. I wanted her dreams to come true. The situations were believable, like the scene where Chenille (cute name by the way) tells Sara she's taking one of the few decent men left after jail, drugs, and drive-by. That felt very realistic to me. I couldn't help but imagine that I was in love with a black man and going through the same emotional turmoil as Sara.I will never know what it's like to be black but it seemed to me that blacks were treated with respect in this film. I came to understand their motives. They were presented as multi-dimensional, real people with feelings. I cared about them, too.There is a lot to like in Save The Last Dance. We have a female protagonist - the entire story is told from her point of view. Sara's emotional world is always the main focus. She is not window-dressing to make some guy look good. We have interracial romance, treated with sensitivity and respect. There's a scene where Chenille tells Derek "you can't help who you love". This is something that LGBT folks know to be true.I liked the music ... but not the words starting with "N". It's a shame that they add to the film's realism. If blacks want the respect of whites, they need to respect each other first.

I am not a dancer but I truly enjoy this movie. I honestly cannot say how many times I've watched this movie in different platforms since it came out.I recently connect this movie to my own personal growth and I learn a little bit of myself every time I watch this movie. Thank you for making this movie.

I loved this movie when I was younger. I was elated to share it with my daughter. It had been years since I've watched this movie and I was not let down at all. Julia Stiles is perfect in it. The story is well written and touched on so many issues that exist in the world (ecen though its fictional) without being too over the top. I appreciate that the scenes that ellude to adult situations do not show nudity and I dont find myself needing to sheild eyes in my house!The music in this movie is great and I have it in my head for days after watching it!If you have not seen this movie you must! It follows a young girl being raised by her single Mom who is soon killed in a car accident. The young girl is a dancer but is now uprooted to live with her semi estranged father in an urban area where she attens an urban public school for the first time. She finds herself connecting with new friends, opening her mind to new ideas and exploring her own limitations whike trying to work thru her grief.I can watch this over and over.

It costs $00.00to thank God forthe simple thingslike being alive-Devotions With DeMarcus

Whole family can watch. I enjoyed so much.Buy this.

I like this movie my favorite part is when she dances for her audition for Julyard (I misspelled I think)

I like Derek and Sara's relationship.After Derek receives an acceptance letter from Georgetown, he persuades Sara to follow her dream of dancing at Juilliard.There's a great early 2000s danceable soundtrack to be heard.The story and cast are excellent.I also like the body-fitting midriff length tops, baggy pants, and shoes Sara wore during her dance practices.
