The question that haunts the minds of all those who love cinema , breathe it and live it is: We need the remake? Think about it, lately the trend of remaking movies already made is assuming epidemic proportions. No one is saved from the remake, comedy, horror, musicals, sometimes with embarrassing results, it was decided to bring back an icon, to revive an issue. Fame is located on this line and now it is natural to make comparisons with the original very well directed by Alan Parker. If some things change (as an archetype Leroy and frankly there is no sound a bit far-fetched in 2009) remain the same more fundamental and it is these that we must look to understand the core of the film. Let me explain. It is no secret that for some years now the big and small screen have been flooded with movies and programs based primarily on singing and dancing. We have seen to review films like Step Up 1 and 2 (attention has already been announced on 3), Honey, Save the last dance, Coyote Ugly and last in order of time the much loved / hated Hannah Montana. In contrast to the screen house was invaded by a bunch of friends inept led by Maria De Filippi, who has followed a monster like X-Factor dedicated exclusively to singing. The greatest common denominator of these films and these programs in general is the absurd belief that talent is a divine gift, carefully distributed and fed by the sacred fire of passion. Nothing could be further from the truth. Fame (both the original and the remake) arrives just in time to put the icing on the cake The success can be achieved only by working hard with sweat, tears and blood, talent alone is not sufficient, no it never was and never will be. This is the assumption of the film, a cold shower for the ego of anyone who has decided to sing or dance well enough to be able to succeed in the realization of a dream. In Fame of it a parable about a group of boys determined to break into show business, the news is the fact that not all come to the end of this path, but some will fall along the road. The great merit of the film is just to show that talent alone is useless, but it takes hard work and great dedication. Fame therefore comes at the right time and right place, a country like ours which has become a growing conviction that the work and the study is not essential, but suffice it to appear and to be there, to succeed in life, perhaps by participating in one of the many stupid reality shows. We have lost the sense of the street work and sweat, we lost part of ourselves, let's not let that happen to our children. And if a film can give us a hand in this, then he is welcome.
