fame do something odd . it be not only a musical that be create originally for the screen ( most be base off of broadway musical ) and but it spawn a tv series and a broadway musical . let me correct that sentence . fame be not a musical . musical have song number in order to advance the plot or to show character feeling . the singing in this music be not use to do either while in fact and there no use for it at all . people just randomly sing to fit in with the plot . and that not the type of musical i know . the so called plot of fame have an onslaught of character ( who be all introduce at once last time i saw that in a movie [ gosford park ] it have disastrous result ) who audition for and and get into and new york high school for the performing art . all of them be in for different reason i. e. acting and singing and etc . quote unquote drama unfold a these middle age people pretend to be teenager go through their four year . my large complaint be that the high school be suppose to be selective . after all and it a free college and and they can not let everyone in . so how be it that some people who be really bad get into the college . obviously so that drama could ensue between all of these different people . and why be the person top bill not even in the movie until near the end and for no reason at all and except to make u feel uncomfortable . there many unsettling situation that these untalented people get into and yet you can not feel bad for them because you do not know who they be . these relationship occur between people whose name you do not know . and these character realize thing about themselves throughout the course of the movie and yet you do not realize that and because you do not know what they be like in the first place . a for the singing and it pop in randomly ( and be suppose to be humorous . ) and do nothing . when the title song be sung and it play in the middle of a street and before you can say ferris bueller everyone in the middle of the street dance wildly and off beat to it . the song itself be fine and but the whole scene and like the whole movie and be unnecessary . fame be an unpleasant movie and to say the least . i would say more and but most of the movie have thankfully go out of my head . just do not see it . you will be do yourself a favor . my rating represent negative rat r for language .
