WHAT THA BLOODY HELLS GOIN ON

[ayyubilyasov]

i've seen this movie long time ago, when i was 5 years old about. i didn't know it's name, i just remembered the part that it was sunny and the girl was watching someone dancing, i finally found this movie, i'm glad =)

My mum went to University with the actress that played Fran!

The guy that plays Scott is so hot in this movie because he has a dancer's body. I wish he hadn't bulked up for Exit to Eden.

@comactortony The concepts and idea of the movie are not bad, although I imagine I am a little negatively biased towards dancing films. Fran was my favorite character. It is kind of cool how she pushes Liz Holtz completely out of the main plot.

@thespecter2 AND FURTHER MORE... Remember the billiant twist HITCHCOCK used in PSYCHO? Janet Leigh was billed as the STAR! Then gets hacked up in the shower only 10 minutes into the film. So like Psycho, SB is not 'really' about the "glittering world' Ballroom dance...ITS FRANS MOVIE! She is ridiculed, knocked around, used & abused and emerges like the Ugly Duckling into a SWAN!

@thespecter2 in an interview BAZ L said that Strictly B was one part of a trilogy. Romeo & Juliet and Mulon Rouge where the others. The trilogy was an homage to 3 aspects of the performing arts SB was dance, MR was music & R&J was the spoken word/literature. in all three he uses 'pop' music and all 3 are full of 'iconic' images of 'pop culture' like coke signs or the 7-up commercial visuals in the 'Absenthe' scene in MR. so there was a pupose to the coke sign.

@comactortony Wow you are really sold on this film huh? I got a little tired of the continuous add placement my coca cola, the repetitive lines ("I wanna dance with Fran!", "I want to dance with you!"), he unclarity of the relationships, the cheap unfunny humor (punching fran as Liz walks by her..), and the lack of importance the plot held. THe build-up was so small and the results were even smaller. Poor film.
