Flashdance

"Good movie"

"I love the music and dancing in this."

"This movie started it all in capturing dance and music video as a cultural phenomena. It looks a little dated and it is obvious tat Jennifer Beale did not do the difficult dance movies, however, none of this matters.....see this movie!"

"A film that pulses with energy, ambition, and electrifying dance sequences, Flashdance (1983) is a cinematic celebration of passion and perseverance. Directed by Adrian Lyne, this film follows the story of Alex Owens (played by Jennifer Beals), a fiercely independent and ambitious young woman who works as a welder by day and a dancer by night, with dreams of becoming a professional ballerina. At its core, Flashdance is a story of grit and self-discovery—Alex is determined to shatter expectations and chase a future that, by all odds, seems unattainable. The film beautifully captures the struggles and triumphs of a young woman daring to dream beyond her reality. Jennifer Beals delivers a captivating performance, bringing strength and vulnerability to Alex’s character, making her someone to root for. Where Flashdance truly shines is in its music and choreography. The film’s soundtrack, featuring iconic hits like "Maniac" and "Flashdance... What a Feeling," is instantly memorable, enhancing the film’s vibrant energy. The dance sequences, particularly the unforgettable audition scene, are mesmerizing and perfectly choreographed, capturing both the emotional intensity and physical power of movement. However, the film doesn’t seek to be a deep character study or a complex narrative. Instead, it leans into its dream-like quality, with stylistic montages and high-energy sequences that sometimes overshadow character development. While some plot elements feel thin, the film makes up for it with sheer cinematic excitement, ultimately delivering an experience that is heartfelt, visually compelling, and deeply inspirational. In many ways, Flashdance isn’t just a movie—it’s a mood, a movement, and an anthem for dreamers who refuse to back down. Decades after its release, it remains a cultural touchstone that reminds audiences to fight for their passions, even when the odds seem impossible. "
