A classic

Of course, I had already seen this movie but since it was a while back, I thought I should give it another try. In fact, it was my wife who actually introduced it to me when we first met. Indeed, it was one of her favorite movies, one of those that she saw so many times as a child, and she was (rightfully) shocked that I never saw the damned thing in my life. Well, even though it was indeed a decent watch, to be honest, I didn't really connect with this movie, I'm afraid. Basically, the oddest  thing about this movie is how it keeps  switching between  the rather cheesy dance scenes  (which were pretty  cool, I have to admit it, at least, if you like this kind of dance) and some realistic  dark moments which  were more compelling to watch, at least, for me. It seems that the makers were not able to make up their minds between  something  rather fluffy to appeal to the mainstream audience or something more dramatic to make sure that they were taken seriously. Or maybe I'm  completely mistaken and it was done on purpose  in order  to accurately represent  the life of the average teenager. Indeed, at the end of the day, their lifestyle  is filled up with some shallow glamorous fantasy but their lives have also some genuine drama  in it. I doubt it was intentional though. Anyway,  to conclude, even though I didn’t really connect with the whole thing, it was still not bad at all and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
