Fame [2009]

I was so looking forward to see this movie because I've always loved musical, dancing and singing type of movies...but somehow I was disappointed.  Oh well I'm not too sure is it because I was tired of that day.  But I felt asleep after 15 minutes into the movie.  The set of the movie is too long showing their freshmen, junior and senior years.  Well I guess that how they tried to establish the storyline but I could not follow it.  In addition, it flip forward and backward to too many characters and I could not keep track on.  But it's a good movie showing all the upcoming young talents these days!

Fame directed by Kevin Tancharoen is based upon the 1980 film which follows NYC talent attending the New York City High School for the Performing Arts, (Known today as Fiorello H. Laguardia H.S.) students get specialized training that often leads to success as actors, singers, etc. In 1936, New York City Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia founded the High School of Music & Art in order to provide a facility where the most gifted and talented public school students of New York City could pursue their talents in art or music, while also completing a full academic program of instruction. In 1948, the School of Performing Arts was created to provide training in performance skills to students who wished to prepare for professional careers in dance, music or drama.
