Movie: Flashdance


flashdance

A Pittsburgh woman with two jobs as a welder and an exotic dancer wants to get into ballet school.

If you’ve ever seen Jennifer Lopez dance video, where she’s this dancer and then sits on a chair and pours water on herself, it’s adapted from this movie. I didn’t know that!

When this movie ended, my only reaction was WTF. I watched it because a colleague of mine said this was their best movie ever! It’s not the best of anything ever.

I think it’s because it was made in the 80′s and she dances in a weird way and maybe the story was new, that’s why it was a big hit, other than that, from my point of view, there was no plot, she was welding, dancing in the club, welding, dancing in the club, it didn’t make sense and her character didn’t make sense at all. She’s a kid and yet has a relationship with a man old enough to be her father and sleeps with her but doesn’t allow her to smoke because apparently she isn’t old enough! I don’t know dancing, but even back in the 80′s, what she did doesn’t constitute as ballet dancing and give her a chance in one of the most elite ballet schools. The ending is disappointing :P You can  tell I didn’t like the movie that much :P

    WOW… you did pull spoilers here didn’t you? But thanks for sparing me the time. I just wasted 2 hours on Cassandra’s Dream, and was really feeling the guilt of human wasted hours that I couldn’t play games after it but went straight to work.

    Is the dance worth it though ;) ? Note you will have to take full responsibility of the answer shall I get in trouble later on.

    oppss I forgot to include a warning :P But I’m doing everyone a favor, by spoiling it and lowering their expectations. What’s the movie you watched, I need to Google it, looks like a Mexican soap opera!

    I think you’ll get in trouble, because there is a lot of dancing though nonsense and nudity, believe me it’s not worth getting trouble over it.

    Bloggylife: I said “Cassandra’s Dream”. Naah, totally different. I think he had a great plit in his mind, but didn’t turn out as he wished for.

    The movie is not worth it or the scenes ;) . I’ll just tell my wife we wanna watch it… in BLURAY!
