i saw fame when it first come out . it deal with the high school class of 1980 and which be coincidentally my year of graduation . i saw the movie in the summer between high school and college and and be a performer myself and it hold a special place in my heart . the big criticism of fame usually have to do with continuity and and there be definitely some story line that either be not complete or do not make sense . however and those problem be more than make up for by the passion and emotion of the character and the incredible music . i saw it again recently and be surprise that i still love it as much a i do the first time . fame be often compare to flashdance and which i do not think be fair . although flashdance have some great music and jennifer beals be gorgeous and i think fame be vastly superior in the development of it character and the complexity of it story . for anyone who truly love the art and this be a must see movie .
