The Dirty Dancing Scene in the Movie Holidate

The Wikipedia article about the movie Holidate

Sloane and Jackson hate the holidays! Their enduring singledom leaves them subject to the judgment of their meddling family members or stuck with clingy, awkward dates on each festive occasion. When these two meet, they pledge to be each other's plus-ones for each holiday celebration over the course of the year.

An Analysis of the "Hungry Eyes" Scene

 Araselys ("Ari") Harris made this excellent video for a Film and Culture class: 

Harris argues that the "Hungry Eyes" scene portrays the development of Baby's maturity. Harris's analysis includes the following points.

Baby is the person in the scene with the "hungry eyes"

Penny symbolizes the maturity that is guiding Baby

When Baby faces Penny, she sees her own mature self as if in a mirror

As Johnny watches, he perceives that Baby is maturing before his own eyes

Baby's progression of shoes symbolizes the progression of her maturity.

The tickling moment shows that Baby remains childish to some extent

The lighting highlights the romantic mood

My main criticism of Harris's video is that her analysis of the song's lyrics is too sketchy. My own analysis of the lyrics is here.

Harris's analysis of the scene's cinematography is better than any such analysis that I myself ever have done. 

I think Harris deserves a top grade from her teacher for doing this video.
