When this movie came out, I was about 17 years old, I remember the chill that ran up and down my spine, following this story. At the time I was a teenager in Los Angeles, a city definetly not short on energy..but no New York.
This movie so inspired me, that after graduation from High School in 1980, I moved to New York to study Theater, and still make home here today.
And that to me is the real catch of this movie, it was a movie that offered some inspiration, it was one of the most real movies, I've ever seen that dealt honestly with that awkward period, being a teenager, and especially a gifted teenager.
One thing I noticed a lot of commentors mentioned about Fame: That too many stories were left open, well think about it, how many of your stories were closed when you left high school?...remember High School was ONLY the beginning.
I rate this movie a 10 out of 10...and my only wish is, that we heard more from this incredibly talented cast..especially Irene Cara.
