Thats right this movie gets a big thumbs up.
Flashdance is set in 1983 Pittsburgh- when it was REALLY Steel Town (guess it still is but the industry bottomed out i heard). I never been there, but after seeing movies like this one, Innoccent Blood (good vampire movie but only cause i like sexy mature chics and the city, which is kinda goth) and a whole host of others.
Basically the main character, Alex Owns (Jennifer Beals) is a welder by day and a dancer in this cool bar that has a giant dancing stage with runway and elaborate props, its called Mowby's. The girls are really hot- Alex, Tina Tech, Heels, ect. I love this bar- i wish it really existed, but it probably doesnt. I just saw an episode of MadTV where they had a skit with a guy who came to his girlfriend's work place to start trouble- and he was wearing a tank top with "Mowby's" on it. That would be a great Christmas present for me btw.
Anyhow, i dont want to give anything away, except that you may be missing out if you do see it! There is great cinematography(sp) throughout, even though most scenes are somewhat brief. It gives a real good idea of what Pittsburgh is like (at least at that time). Definetly a great movie to see with a girlfriend or whathaveyou.
This may sound strange, but i suggest viewing it first in Closed Captioning with the sound off- if a movie is good enough on its directing and dialogue (like i feel this one to be), then it moves better with the sound off. Plus the sound and voice tracks in the movie are kinda weak http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//E13.gif
I made a site with pictures of it (I suggest renting the movie first) at http://www.angelfire.com/80s/flashdance/
Please sign the guestbook, and maybe if i get enough fans to visit they can start up activity on the ezboard i put up there!
All comments, reviews, ect are welcome- i will put them on the site. Thanks!
