fame ( 1980 ) be brilliant . it get all these quality that make the late 70 movie so great . it be proud of it directness and not ashamed of be over the top . what really matter here and be the journey and not the destination . ignorant idiot with soap opera mentality and will never realize that fame be about the struggle and anxiety and triumph of these young people and not about their career . ironically enough and none of the very talented actor of fame make it in hollywood . fame mark the end of an era . the end of artistic freedom and experimentation and the beginning of commercialization and political correctness . it the last statement of a generation that have a voice of it own . positive .
