      Light and shadow are awesome

      If it weren't for Lord JB, I wouldn't have watched this movie...but I don't regret watching it.

      If XD talks about the storyline, this is a pretty old-fashioned dream-catching story. Cinderella, who was liked by her boss, finally plucked up the courage to realize her dream and fell into a cliche.

      I highly recommend it because its lighting and photography are very particular, not to mention how novel it is, but it is absolutely in line with the traditional aesthetics, and...

      My afterthought of wathcing Flashdance again

      Twenty five years! I have just watched the DVD movie, the 25thanniversary edition of “Flashdance”, which was published in 2008. This was my second time after the first in 1983. What was I doing at that time?

      Let's go to the movie first! The plot is simple. An 18 years old welder girl Alex, a dance lover, works as a part-time solo dancer at a pub in the US after day off. Coincidently, the boss of her full- time job, a divorced 40 years odds man, is obsessed at her beauty and her talent...

      20 years, a cycle of vicissitudes

      A typical inspirational movie of that era. Flash dance has become a proof in the history of dance evolution. The dance of the street dancers inside began to take shape of breaking, and many dance steps were very exciting. As a person 20 years later, when I watch this movie, many plots will appear old-fashioned. However, just appreciating the gorgeous dance will bring great gains.
      Jennifer Beals is incredibly youthful in it, completely different from the temperament that Bette is now...

      Flashdance...What a Feeling

      What impressed me most about this movie were the three dances at the beginning, middle and last.

      "Flashdance...What a Feeling"

      At the beginning of the film, warm and sunny music sounded. The protagonist rides a bicycle through the vast expanse of reinforced concrete and high-rise buildings. During the day, he is an electric welder, and at night he is a bar stripper. (Photography is also awesome, the sense of the city is very strong)

      Small comment

      "Blood Two Heroes" should have borrowed many techniques from this movie, at least in terms of composition, lens movement, and music.
           Although this movie is not enough to score five stars, I always think that the director is not easy to get. Alex’s personality is like a lotus. There is her innocent place in the turbid world. The director is still in this type of framework. It is very precious to be able to shoot an inspiring one, and to see the simple things that originate from human...

      Not a cheesy inspirational film. The shot is very poetic. The heroine's subjectivity max (the welder’s design is superb, and it’s also too good to watch), there is nothing dramatic in the whole film, and theirs is simply a paradise. Comparison of the two clubs. It is suitable for explaining the mechanism of...

      Because tlw knew about jennifer beals, I only knew about this movie when I saw a vinyl cover of Flash Dance in a vinyl record store, and found that she looked good when she was young. The movie proves that she not only looks good, but also has great dancing skills. This is a movie with dreams and love. Anyone who likes dancing should watch it. The movies in the 1980s don't look outdated at all, and the dance is also very good-looking and doesn't feel outdated at...

      One of the classic youth music and dance films of the 1980s, it is the pinnacle of the exquisite combination of song and dance and the plot; the songs are beautiful, and the dance shapes and editing are pleasing to the eye. The most impressive scene is when the heroine takes off the bra she is wearing in the sweater while chatting in front of the hero who has just met the hero. She can almost feel the fragrance of the lingering warmth, which is extremely sexy; Stunned,...

      The golden song skewer embodies the courage, ordinary and exhilaration that belonged to Hollywood in the 80s. I need this chicken blood...

    Background creation

    It is one of the representative movies in the era of the popular culture of Breakin' and B-Boy. The film is the first film featuring B-Boying. Although, it is not a movie focused exclusively on B-Boying. But there is a short section of the film featuring B-Boying and Popping on the street, which is enough to impress people all over the world and start playing B-Boying. After "Flash Dance", many Breaking films have also been made. Such...
