Watch Fame For Free

Load of rubbish!!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

People use different aspects to define success. you want fame of course, you want money , you want people to recognize you as a star. I think in a world judge by popularity like show business. You have to have a solid standing of self-recognition. Knowing what bring you joy, knowing the things frustrating you could also encourage you.It shows differences between people's mindsets. But when we put too much on reaching achievement, gaining other people's compliment.Very inspiring movie , especially when you feel stressed under pursuing goals you set. This movie shows the way we could use to put us sustainable in life.

My initial impression of the 2009 remake of "Fame" was favorable, having seen only the scene where the failed ballet dancer contemplated taking his life in a subway station. I was impressed by the directorial style, where everything around him faded into a distant noise as he became overwhelmed by his feelings of hopelessness and futility. This is, unfortunately, the most striking scene of the whole movie, and not really enough to justify sitting through it for a whole two hours (I saw the "Extended Dance Edition"). If the rest of the movie would have been made with the same care, it would have been much more resonant and enjoyable. Unfortunately it was not, and this is why I was so disappointed with it.Upon viewing the complete movie from the beginning, I was taken with director Kevin Tancharoen's use of the cinema verité style in order to give the movie more of a documentary feeling. Unfortunately, his attempts at realism were severely undermined by the flat, one- dimensional characters, clichéd situations, and (for me) underwhelming dance and musical production numbers. Add to this the fact that the rather sloppily written screenplay attempts to cover too much ground for the movie's running time, trying to focus on so many characters that I was not able to really connect in a substantial way with any of them. The movie ultimately has a rather sterile, detached feel to it, and I found it difficult to really care about the characters because they came across as stock types (the shy, naïve starlet who comes this close to be taken advantage of, the angry inner city black youth, the selfish dancer who only cares about stardom). The production numbers did not impress me either, although Naturi Naughton did display an impressive vocal range and stage presence. This is especially worrisome to me, as I watched the "Extended Dance Edition". None of the dance numbers really stayed with me...I've seen better on shows like "Britain's Got Talent".The more experienced actors (Kelsey Grammar, Bebe Neuwirth, Charles Dutton, Megan Mullaly, and Debbie Allen) had little to do except for portray the teachers, which also come off as your typical authoritative/mean/condescending/inspirational stock types. The younger actors are fine in their roles, although not outstandingly charismatic or memorable. I can't really complain about the acting, though, since the script is so poorly conceived the actors simply don't have much to work with. Not even Meryl Streep and Laurence Olivier could have saved this one.One thing I did notice was a direct rip-off of a scene from "Mr. Holland's Opus", which is, in my mind, a far superior film whose characters truly resonate with the audience - a student does a rendition of the old Gershwin standard "Someone to Watch Over Me," and is instructed by the teacher that she needs to have a better grasp of what the words mean. The scene is slightly different here, but couldn't they have at least have chosen a different song? This, to me, is symbolic of what is wrong with this movie - lazy, formulaic plotting, stock characterizations, and a poorly conceived script. There are so many characters on display that at the end of the movie, I didn't know what happened to all of them. What happened to the aspiring director at the end? Or the dancer's best friend (and it was news to me that they were friends until the end of the movie?) The filmmakers didn't even so much as put an epilogue on the end that you could read in order to figure out what became of the characters. Overall, I felt like the movie was a waste of my time. Disappointing.

It really doesn't matter how in depth you went to pretend that you were some intense movie critic, as you proved one thing with all the negativity: you don't know anything about what makes a movie a success. 1)Numbers: "Box office The film opened at No. 3 behind Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and the newly released Surrogates with approximately $10,011,682.[7] The film has grossed $22,455,510 domestically and $50,930,003 in the foreign market with an international gross of $73,385,513, making it a moderate box office success." 2)The fact that this movie hit the screen at the right time when all the annoying reality music shows are on, along with Glee on TV and the High School Musicals being in the theaters and theatres shows that knowledge of your audience is the key to success, NOT listening to, lack of success, critics telling you not to make a movie other than the way they prefer it to be. 3)Do you ever find yourself laughing at others when they are angry that a movie didn't stick to the original comic book script(Rhetorical)? Yes, I am laughing at all of these negative reviews in the same way. The truth is that it's an average movie, it isn't the original Fame movie or series and...good. That is the past and it was good, there isn't ANY point in doing the exact same movie or show, as that IS the constant annoyance that Hollywood is doing in the current. Take the time, watch the movie again without the expectations of the original movie and you might just find it tolerable. I give it a C+ to B-, which is better than average and worthy of a movie rental price.

The 1980 Irene Cara/Alan Parker version of the film is a cult favourite, famous for that title song that went to number one, naturally a remake would be much more modern and stylised, it did sound like a bit of a silly idea. Basically, set in New York City High School for the Performing Arts, the story sees a group of young boys and girls wanting to achieve fame in whatever talent they have, whether it be drama, music, dancing, rapping or singing, but they have their hold backs. The story goes through freshman year, sophomore year, junior year, senior and graduation, and the main characters, amongst others, are wannabe actress Jenny Garrison (Kay Panabaker, Danielle's sister), wannabe pianist Denise Dupree (Naturi Naughton) and wannabe dancer Alice Ellerton (Kherington Payne). The teachers keeping an eye on the students and helping them achieve their ambitions include music teacher Mr. Martin Cranston (Kelsey Grammar), dance class teacher Ms. Kraft (Jumanji's Bebe Neuwirth), voice teacher Ms. Fran Rowan (Megan Mullally) and Ms. Angela Simms (Debbie Allen). Also starring Walter Perez as Victor Tavares, Asher Book as Marco, Collins Pennie as Malik Washburn, Kristy Flores as Rosie Martinez, Paul McGill as Kevin Barrett and Paul Iacono as Neil Baczynsky. I can see what the critics mean by trying to make it like a High School Musical kind of thing, I found it similar to something like Save the Last Dance as well, it is filled with the most obvious and tedious clichés, the characters are pretty one dimensional, the songs are okay, the title song being the only really memorable one, overall it is a pretty pointless remake musical drama. Adequate!
