Fame (Tanchaoren, 2009) — Remake of the 1980s musical
HD Trailer | IMDB | 25 September 09
A reinvention of the original Oscar®-winning hit film, Fame follows a talented group of dancers, singers, actors, and artists over four years at the New York City High School of Performing Arts, a diverse, creative powerhouse where students from all walks of life are given a chance to live out their dreams and achieve real and lasting fame…the kind that comes only from talent, dedication, and hard work. In an incredibly competitive atmosphere, plagued by self-doubt, each student’s passion will be put to the test. In addition to their artistic goals, they have to deal with everything else that goes along with high school, a tumultuous time full of schoolwork, deep friendships, budding romance, and self-discovery. As each student strives for his or her moment in the spotlight, they’ll discover who among them has the innate talent and necessary discipline to succeed. With the love and support of their friends and fellow artists, they’ll find out who amongst them will achieve Fame.

I went to P.A. before FAME and the school was a helluva lot more fun than FAME made it out to be. My daughter went to LaGuardia some 20 years after FAME.

And so were the construction workers across the street. They once threw stuff at us when we were demonstrating against the Vietnam War or something outside the school. They were on the upper floors of a skyscraper under construction on 6th Ave. and they threw rivets at us. You can imagine what would have happened if those things had hit us from that distance. The principal had to go over and summon the foreman and bring him into the school and read him the riot act. (Hmmm...now that I think of it, maybe it wasn't such fun after all. But at least it wasn't boring.)
But yeah, we would do musical numbers and routines on our own in the school during lunch hour and rehearsal periods. Just like a movie.

We kept that stuff inside the school. The cops outside working the Times Square beat were a little tougher back then.
