A Landmark of the 80's
The 80's. What a wonderful decade for some of us and more over having a film like "Dirty Dancing" to bring back memories of a time full of dreams, expectations, doubts and findings. The story of Frances "Baby" Hausmann and handsom Johnny Castle made me believe in true love, the kind of love that makes you dream, believe, be happy, feel the world in the palm of your hand and, eventhough it elapsed in the 60's, "Dirty Dancing" love story was as true in the 80's as it is now. And no good movie can be complete without a good soundtrack interlacing images and music. This is absolutely clear when you think about songs like "Hungry Eyes" by Eric Carmen, "Cry To Me" by Solomon Burke, such a wonderful love song as "She's Like the Wind" so breathtakingly performed by Patrick Swayze and last, but no less alive in my mind, "I've had the time of My Life", a premium closing song for a movie that deserves to be called "A Landmark of the 80's. Don't miss it!
