This movie is less outdated than many people nowadays might think

Rating: 7/10 (8 May 2005)

I've seen Flashdance about 15 to 20 times during my whole life since 1983. And all the times I've seen it, it was in the Spanish version. Yesterday I saw the original version and I just couldn't believe how different it was from what I've been watching all this time. While in the original version, Alex seems to be a candid 18 year old girl trying to find her dream, in Spanish her voice makes her look like a much older and experienced woman with an empty life. From what I have noticed about the film production, it is indeed a low-cost movie whose success had nothing to do with its editing, set-ups or actors. I would say that the thing that definitely made a hit out it was the music. I don't think this movie is outdated at all nowadays. In fact, I would say that a remake of this movie would be a hit at the box office. However, I don't think it would be such a good idea to place Jennifer Lopez as Alex, like some people say it would be.
