An entertaining and thrilling dance film!

Rating: 9/10 (3 July 2020)

I wanted to see Flashdance after watching Saturday night fever, as This made me become interested in the dance genre of film and wanted to see more. I had heard about Flashdance in the past and was interested in seeing it. After watching it, I have to say it was entertaining, emotional and the dancing shown in this film was phenomenal. Jennifer Beals played Alex Owens who works as a welder and also works at a bar, but shows an interest and skill in dancing and wants to make it big as a dancer. The film ends with herself auditioning and the dance scene at this part of the film is amazing. The emotion in this film can be felt when Alex gets that feeling of wanting to chase the dream, wanting to be a true dancer. the film ending with Her spectacular dancing is perfect as her dreams have become a reality. The music is also great with the songs " what a feeling" and "maniac". My only problem with this film is that I feel more could have been done with the ending, such as Alex celebrating after the audition, or even Alex performing in front of a live audience, proving that it all paid off. Besides that though, Flashdance is awesome and gets a 9/10 from me.
