Plot:
This early effort by director Alan Parker is lively but jagged as it follows four students through their years in the New York City High School for the Performing Arts. Rather predictably, the kids fa...( read more

Watches like a high budget documentary of kids pursuit of fame- and the hard work and trauma that they go through in high school for the performing arts.
The characters are easily relatable and the drama is there, but doesn't get into the melodramatic. I have only 2 complaints against this- the first one being the ending was very rushed and we didn't get any closure on Coco after being taken advantage of by that skeeze (a scene that gets parodied many times over now) and then the dance sequences the actors break out into always appear like a mass epileptic fit- there is no direction to their motion to where it was like the director just said "do what you want!". It's laughable there is a credited choreographer to this movie. -

seen it, watched it again.. loved it.. the soundtrack is great, and who would think that "Is it ok if I call you mine" was sang for a guy by a guy!

MCT:September 19, 2008Na década de 80 penso que muitos adolescentes quiseram ir para a conservatória devido ao filme e a mini serie de Fame.
É um bom filme, podemos ver adolescentes a crescer e a tornarem-se adultos e a batalhar pelos seus sonhos no mundo do espectáculo que nem sempre é fácil. -
MCT:September 2, 2008There are so many interesting things about this film. I really appreciate that the actors were actually singing, dancing and playing their instruments.
I am also happy that the song Fame won the Oscar. It's a great song. There's another song in there that Cocoa sings that made me weep because it was so powerful.
I really really loved the acting of Paul McCrane, which proves again that all good roads lead to Rocky. He was the young patient in Rocky 2.
Coming out in 1980, it captures the last great moments of the seventies decade while introducing icons of the eighties like the leg warmer.
So, all in all, the film felt very real. You got to know the characters really quickly and I grew attached to their stories.
