Fame in 1980 brings a different style of high school is all about as far as the School of the Performing Arts is concerned. It had great casting with Debbie Allen, Gene Anthony Ray and Irene Cara. The TV series was and still is the bomb too. BTW, The Tv Show Fame is on Ovation TV.
A REAL film about what it means to be a performing artist and the struggles you have to go through to perfect it.
As a teen of this generation, I advise others these days to lay off the high school musical (horrible) and watch this instead. (not the stupid remake)
What I like about this trailer, is that it REALLY encapulates what the movie was ALL about. I mean, I remember seeing it while waiting to see the Brooke Shields movie 'The Blue Lagoon', wishing that I was seeing Fame already!!!
Anyway, great trailer to really great film. They don't make 'em like that anymore. I even like the film stock that they used--I don't know, the whole movie just looks a lot warmer than the way movies look nowadays.
I can just imagine hollyweird remaking family friendly remakes of other Alan Parker films,Midnight Express,Angel Heart,The Wall-lol..dumbing it down for young audiences of today and pg 13-UGHHHHHHH
@deckard97 well hollywood still hasn't caught on that PG movies make three times the amount of money that any other PG + rated movie does. And you know, originals are originals for a reason, they were the first. Like if they were to redo WarGames, I would be so mad cause it was such a good nonsexual movie about youth. Alas, every time I turn around it's something new and sexual that's being shoved into my 22 yr old face. Sex is nothing anymore but a transaction of money it seems.
@deckard97 if i'm right, then that's sad. i mean idk how many times i hear girls at my college saying oh I was so wasted and slept with the cutest guy ever!! like seriously, how unhealthy is that? first you don't know, second he could have an std, and third if you were wasted how do you know if you used a condom or not? like it's just crazy. thankfully the younger youth is supposedly moving toward a virginal outlook on sex, but then again this is according to VH1
i'm going to watch this today... and i can already tell this one is better than the new one... ugh what a load of crap that one was... and all my friends loved it for some reason. *annoyed* -_-
im doing a documentary about "Fame" thats beeing produced at my school this year and is therefor using a lot of clips from former shows.
If you have the possibility to provide me with some more clips from this very show could you please answer this message and ill give you my mail adress and so on.
This was the trailer for the movie "The Long Riders" back in 1980 and I could not wait until this movie came out. Can you believe the adult tickets were $2.50 and the kids ticket prices was $1.50. Such good memories damn I miss those days.
All the movies from 1980 are incomparable to the thousands of ones nowadays, unless the original is a completely different idea than the remake, or reimagining, people will probably prefer the original over the new one. However, that doesnt stop people from liking the new one as well, because of the generation that we live in, people share different opinions.
What im trying to say is movies will be different, some good some bad, leave it up to the critics and they will tell you.
First oid all i saw the new fame today and it really shows how much we grew through the years. My mom used to love!! watching fame when she was my age
I like the new one cuz better quality but this one shows what happened now. Btw WOW!! The actors from back then and now jeez!
Saw the new one tonite. Good film overall, and I WOULD recommend it, but MANY songs have been cut out and/or re-done and/or replaced, and, unfortunately, it's not the original... :-(
the new one is just gonna be different thats all. the old fame is grittier and raw and reflects the 1980s. The new one is more like step Up, id say. Personally i believe this one should have been at least pg-13, i mean it is a highschool movie. its not high school musical. but ill see how it goes
the old one is AMAZING! and for people who think the new one will be better you have to think the new one probably wouldnt have been made if there wasn't this one.
The new one has different character names, and different teachers. The music video released lacks the passion/rawness the 1980 one brought, but I must say that neither of them top it live on stage.
Listen honey I suggest you go do something more with your time than leave inane comments. I'm just glad to know that your precious little New Fame SUCKED at the box office. You obviosly don't get sarcasm, later sweetie.
Listen Kid, why don't you go and waste someone else's time! Yes I think this is a STUPID Movie and that is not going to change. Puntuation? it's called a typo mistake Little MR or Ms Righteous.
If you use your brains cells correctly you'll know by common sense I'm talking about the new fame. Keep proving my point kid. I'm having fun with you. :D
that's the fun part, you think you're annoying me but I think it's quite the opposite. :D Keep on fighting the battle! LOL ciao you're so much fun to annoy as well. :D
How much longer are people like you gonna come in to see the old videos just to point out how much they hate the original? don't try to be righteous it isn't working here. If you don't like this then stay away, hence why I commented on your first comment. . If you like the new Crappy one then go watch that trailer and leave this one for people who Actually have good taste.
Now THAT was a movie. No glossy, shiny, HSM wannabe. True grit. True rawness. True sweat. True and believable characters who didn't all come out of teen fashion magazines. True art. The times we live in are much more superficial. That's why the remake Fame trailer looks something out of a WB show.
Good film, pretty gritty. I remember watching the TV series too back in the 80s. I heard it wasn't popular in the US, but didn't get cancelled due to the massive popularity in the UK. I hope the new movie doesn't stink, but I'm guessing it probably will.
