Review of Fame (1936) by Ali S — 01 Sep 2008

There 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.
