Simply A Masterpiece
Powerful
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
It is a story one boy from a big city try to overcome the struggle.The town he was transferred is so conservative so he felt It is terrible I have to manage to change it.But it was so tough.There was a so stubborn monk having the control of all of the city.If he want to dance,he have to change his mind and convince him to admit it at first.
This charming, cheese-tastic 80s teen flick is packed full of great songs. The soundtrack alone is enough to make it worth a watch. But on top of the fabulous soundtrack, the story is surprisingly good and its actually well acted. Lori Singer's character is rather intriguing and her progression throughout the film is possibly the best thing about this film, despite Kevin Bacon obviously getting all the credit as the main character, Ren. Chris Penn is an exceptional supporting actor and this film really does not deserve some of the hatred it gets. It's almost 'cool to hate'. As long as you're not expecting too much and just want a fabulously 80s, uplifting, feel-good film, then you can't go too far wrong with footloose.
This is wonderful film about the Americans doing the dancing in their towns and they are having the fights as well. I am love this film because it is showing the kind heart of the Americans and as well their fighting. I love the last seen in particular because the American becon is doing the good dancing and moving the hips to the music but then when the violent men come he has no fear to fight and vanquish them. I wish him all the good luck to you mr becon. I love the lady in the pink dress when she is dancing it is very beautiful and reminding me of the dancing in my home town of Lokapel. I wish to see this film lots of times more.Edward
Kevin Bacon, Lori Singer, Chris Penn, Sarah Jessica Parker, Dianne Wiest, Frances Lee McCain and John Lithgow star in this 1984 drama. Bacon (Wild Things) plays Ren, a rebellious teen who moves from Chicago to small town, Bomont with his mother, Ethel (McCain). He learns that Rock music and dancing have been banned in the town for some time by Reverend, Moore (Lithgow). Ren also has difficulty fitting in at first, but soon makes some friends and finds romance. Ren eventually persuades Moore and the townspeople to allow dancing and rock music for the town's offspring. Singer plays Moore's carefree daughter, Ariel who falls for Ren, the late, Penn (Reservoir Dogs) plays Ren's new pal, Willard whom he teaches to dance, Parker (Sex and the City) plays Rusty, Willard's girlfriend and Wiest (The Lost Boys) plays Moore's wife, Vi. This is a good 80's flick with a good cast & great music. I recommend this.
