Tango and Waltz

In the late 80’s Slyverster Stallone & Kurt Russel was all over the silver screen and one of their movie was Tango and Cash.

Ray Tango (Stallone) and Gabriel Cash (Russell) are two highly successful Los Angeles-based narcotics cops, who work in different precincts and cannot stand each other because of their vastly different styles. Tango is a smooth, organized businessman who spends the morning with the Wall Street Journal, while Cash is a sloppy person.

Another two different styles are Tango and Waltz.

While the first need lot of spontaneity, loose collaboration and some “evil” gravitas, the second thrive on planned steps and clear division of labour. Tango is best seen with playful people in a medium lit scene, while Waltz need person who are steady and confident in the blinding glare of grand ballroom.

But maybe the two is not so different. It takes two to Tango and so is Waltz. Both a great challenge to uninitiated and a joy to go through. Both need lot of trust to start and many practice to perfected. The world would be a much poorer place without either of them.

After all, Tango and Cash turn out to be a great team and put the bad guy away.
