I was born in 1973 and this is one of my favorite movies, since I grew up during the 80's. I don't know what all the hype is about criticizing this film. I think a lot of people have missed the point. One should consider the context. Anyways, the dance moves are out of this world! The story in the film deals with human frailties and great talent. One should look deeper than the surface when watching the story and enjoy the great talent displayed on screen.
