This is one of my favorite movies. Its so beautifully done and so gritty that it gives off the right vibe about dedicating your life to the arts and about new york. Its not airbrushed and glamourous like the stupid remake. I couldnt sit through 20 minutes of that crap.
the dance and theatre teacher at my highschool went to PA. haha when she told me i thought it was so cool that she went to the school this was based off of.
The new version is done by Disney, so of course disney is gonna make it a wattered down, safe version, high school musical type of crap. Disney should just stick to cartoons..lol
The 1980 version is the version to see, if you want to see the real Fame movie, and how it really should be done!!!!
this is what brought Michelle Yeoh to pursue her dream to become a Ballerina.. sadly she had a Spinal Injury when she was studying at Royal academy of Dance in London.. (i can't help telling all of this.. hehe)
yeah... the old one is Brilliant but the remake is just Good..
they were both better they was just as good ii think it was harder in fame cause they didnt have distractions like twitter youtube etc thats why its just as good its the 80s
they didnt not have distractions so theyre both as good the acrtrs were just as good in the new one
The new one is so Disney. The old one showed the heart renching reality of trying to make it as an artist in the entertainment business, the mental & physical pain of just making it into the main pack never mind getting a job after. The kids go through hardship - the one one, it's all roses & smiles. :-(=
the plot is confusing compared to the remake? why because this movie HAS a plot, rather than a bunch of dance numbers sprinkled with dialogue and characters who aren't actually drawn? hm.
I read the plot on Wikipedia. I found it confusing compared to the remake. But you know what they always say, the original is always better than the remake.
I loved this movie ! I watched it yesterday in fact . I think the 2009 version will never come into comparison with the 1980 's version . This is because then , you had to sing perfectly to get in that movie , now , you have to be a Disney channel star . A lot has changed since then .
@samdagirl09 "Then, you had to sing perfectly to get into the movie," exactly..and that's how you got in the film, -- guy who play's Leroy took a day off school in 1980 to attend open adutions for the film, never once had a dance lesson, but due to raw talent he got the part......Antonia (in this film) was invited on the final day of filming by Balanchine (man who created modern ballet) to join the theatre..=talent, ---no mickey mouse cut-outs in 1980 Fame.
Not too old! I'm 18 and I like this version better :) possibly because I'm an 80s movie junkie... but also because I know the acting is much more real and raw than the remake. 1980 all the way!
this is a fucking bad movie. hands down, its parkers worst. hammy as fuck acting and weak story. man, i wouldnt even use the dvd as a fucking coaster!
For some reason, the cinematogrraphy, or maybe it's the lighting, or the sets, whatever it is. . . This clip . . . of this movie remindes me of hill Street Blues.I used to watch it sometimes when I was a kid. LOL! :) I know that sounds stupid, but it's just a thought, and ideas, . . they usually come for free.
They should have never remade this movie I was so disappointed at the remake I walked out. "Fame" is a generational movie I saw this movie 3 times at the movie theater. Those were the days and I miss them soooo much.
Hollywood is running low on ideas and just try to remake classics, hopind they will be good. i hear remakes of the blob, creature from the black laggon, the three stooges, are in the works.
i first watched the film years ago when i had a much shorter attention span now i want to see it so i can really appreciate it for the brilliant film it is and quit quit with the remakes hollywood!
this oringal 1980 classic is so underrated. The first 'modern' film or TV show(i know it was both lol) that dealt with serious real world issues years before Degrassi, 90210 and others in that genre.
Again what wrong with Hollywood and this remake crap? From "pelham 1-2-3'(very disappointed)to several others in last few years of classic films of the 1970's and 80's.
I dont mind remakes if done right, but i am sure the '09 version of Fame will not even touch the floor to this 1980 classic.
Great performances by all the cast.
