i be a senior in high school when footloose be release . i trip through the hallway with everyone else sing let hear it for the boy because it be on the radio eighty four thousand time a day . i agree with almost every other reviewer here with the exception of those few who speak harshly . cheesy at time . yes . never like bonnie tyler . issue like those can make this film make you squirm a little . however and no other film of my youth have affect me to this day a this one have . what do it . compare . you think i be small town . i think bomont a small town . i be go away . i be gon na be go . wan na see somethin . listen to the background music a this scene unfold . the violin and piano and soulful rock guitar be wed beautifully . mile goodman adapt the score so i be give him credit for this still mega emotion stir theme music . then and a ren tell the town this be our time to dance and well and it still bring a tear of joy and hope . and the background music give kevin bacon character a rock to stand upon a he give his speech . then and there be the snowcapped mountain and sweeping farm valley that draw me in . the kid and the story and the religious oppression ( i be truly from the bible belt where there be no snowcapped mountain ) and most of the music all make this film one that i will watch until i be old and gray and and no longer have the strength to say i be gon na be go . p. s. my beloved husband would not watch this with me because he can not quit cringe at the 80 music . he from seattle . positive .
