The documentary footage takes your breath away. This is the essence of Michael. As a professional in this industry, this insider's look at the creative efforts and passions it takes to facilitate the vision of a genius is pure genius, delicious to watch and listen to.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

fame: missed the spotlight...

Take the material that dreams are made of and script it into predictable, cookie cutter-like back stories, add scenes that are simply there to employ costume designers, and lighting that always has the kids in a halo effect...and you've got the makings of this remake of Fame. I didn't hold my breath once, hoping throughout for that emblematic moment when the young artists would spontaneously erupt into song and dance...like the light of a subway train appearing before you see the actual car coming down the bend it...this screenplay came from a computer program, not a creative mind...file under: lost opportunity, no call-back. xoxo cinemastudies
