"Ma, I'm talented!" he said.
"And who in the world told you that you were so special?"
"You did."
-Fame 2009-
On September 25, 2009, the movie called "Fame" was released into theatres. Although I have yet to see the movie; the story in itself is a very good depiction of the things that I wish to write about in this blog.
The movie is based on the musical "Fame" and there have been several different versions of the movie over the years. Personally, I think nothing can top the Fame movie made in 1980 starring Irene Cara. The story to "Fame" is a very good representation of the challenges that people involved in the performing arts face on a daily basis.
The movie is all about a performing arts high school in the heart of New York City. Students study academics for one half of the day, and performing arts for the other half. In other words, "you don't get off easy because you're talented, you work twice as hard." (Mrs. Sherwood, Played by Anne Meara, © 1980 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.)
If you haven't seen the movie fame, I strongly suggest it. It really helped to put the performing arts into perspective for me.
