not amused. Featuring a star-making performance

Fame is a movie about the four years of attending the High School of
the Performing Arts in NYC. It starts off at the auditions and moves
its way to graduation. Intertwined the students learn their craft,
have dreams, and come into realization that the arts may not be all
the glamour they thought it was. The extras in the movies are mostly
students from the real high school and so there is some exceptionally
beautiful modern dancing, music, and worthwhile performances.
Everyone loves the underdog. Anytime someone is beating the odds, fighting
his or her way to the top, it resonates well with U.S. audiences. Sylvester
Stallone knew that in 1976, when Rocky was a monstrous hit and established
itself in the American cultural lexicon. In his low-budget tale of
a young boxer who came from the slums of Philadelphia and worked his
way to the championship, Rocky pushed emotional buttons with audiences.
It ranks respectably among the best boxing pictures and the story paralleled
Stallone's own life, from a relative unknown to a star with one breakthrough
picture.
Rocky II (1979) carries on the story line, playing on the rivalry between
Rocky Balboa and nemesis Apollo Creed, while Balboa's wife fights
for her life. Mainly, though, the sequel seems like a link between
the first film and Rocky III, in which an aging Rocky takes on
big, bad Clubber Lang (the near-forgotten Mr. T).
While
playing on the same emotional capital as the
first movie, Rocky III is the high-water mark
of the sequels; by the next movie, Stallone
had turned into a near-self-parody of the original
character. Rocky IV finds the underdog taking
on an oversized, blond Russian boxer (Dolph
Lundgren) in a cold war scenario (Rocky literally
wraps himself in the American flag). The
first three films pack a satisfying emotional
wallop while the last 2 probably do not meet
the same lofty heights.
