I think it is because both legal and social restrictions were quite high in 80's. So overcoming of a restriction resulted in heightened mood compared to 2022's...
It was a combination of: best music, women, cocaine quality, no idiotic distractions such as social media...people in the art industry had aesthetic...
The actors in the 2011 version were trying to put on a performance, but in 1984 they were genuinely having fun dancing together and you can see the difference in how this translates on screen and into our hearts. Nothing beats the original and I swear I wish I could UNSEE the remake.
I love remakes unlike most people but I have to agree with you. The 84' version was a bunch of unknowns making a teen movie that the had no idea would go on to become iconic. Their dance scene was like a bunch of people showing off their moves at prom or at a wedding, doing the Soul Train line type thing. The new version was like a flash mob or choreographed dance at a wedding. Still fun and interesting to watch but lacking spontaneous joy
Yeah, 38 years at this point. While I'm a 2 left feet kinda guy, I can at least tap 'em whenever I hear the music. BTW, is it me or is the 2011 version kinda blurry? Even at 720 setting. Weird.
I totally agree u can only find a good song once in awhile if that now but then they had amazing musical and movies and it just seems so awesome and there dancing was more better then then it is no
Well, there was also the 60's and 70's. Some incredible music from there. But I agree that after the 80's there is little to get excited about. Some good songs and some really good movies but most of it is formulaic crap.
I will vote for the 80's version. It's so natural. Everybody could dance and have fun. In the 2011 version, the specific movements and numbers of leading choreographies are attainable only by professional dancers.
Right? But that's pretty much just because the dancing in the 80s version was more a social dancing. Also, I'm sure there weren't as many studios back then to teach stuff like that, especially street dancing.
@@atmos3155 thats not the point,,,this was a highschool dance,,,at a real high school dance you ain't gonna have dozen fucking people out of no where doing the exact same dancing and doing all these flips in shit. 2011 version was pretty trash.
yeah because the remake is a shitty soulless modern hollywood movie that needed to meet racial quotas and appear in vines/youtube videos. They weren't making a movie. They were trying to create a brand
dont you understand? they had to have acrobatic flips and break dancing because they had to represent "minority dancing". It had to be in your face the entire time or you might not have seen they were trying. They think having dudes doing street dance moves would make this movie popular with Black audiences so they could make more money. and before someone says "the original had flips and break dancing" Lol no. The OG movie had wacked out white kids pretending to break dance and doing weird flips. It's meant to be goofy because theyre so turnt up. the remake has a bunch of professional dancers doing Chris Brown moves.
Just a few of the reasons why the 84 'version wins hands down: 1) the charisma of Kevin Bacon and all the main actors; 2) they look like normal people and not models / dancers; 3) the actors showed a real mutual involvement; 4) that piece of music is pure fucking gold ...
My 2 sisters was listening to the 90's version when I was young. The first version is the best. This song is coming out of nowhere. I 'am proud to be born in the 90's
I don't know if it's in the remake, but the kids already knew how to dance when it was outlawed. They would sneak to the next town to be able to go dancing, so they never really stopped
The original invites everyone to dance no matter your skill level. It’s an actual party with kids being themselves. The remake is an audition for Americas best dancer and if you don’t have the moves hit the sideline and just clap. Kenny Loggins footloose is amazing.
Nothing will ever beat the 80’s version, that was the best time for music, movies, and to be a teenager. And yep, my kids know every song from the 80’s. No remakes in my house.
I was a theatre owner and attended a private screening of Footloose 1984 before released to the public and the ending was a slow dance, everyone hated the slow dance ending so Paramount reshot the ending as the fast dance version we know and love today
The original footloose was filmed in my home town., I still live less than a mile from the mills where the prom was filmed. The original was HUGE for me and my friends when we were younger. You cant beat it!!! And Kevin Bacon is the MAN! :) Classic.
Hey,....Kris....what can I say...I am 53 years old and saw this film when I was high school in Korea....damm....I feel like just yesterday I saw this movie.....geez...time flies...
Só quem dançou esses passos combinados sabe o que é passar a semana toda ensaiando para dançar com a turma no fim de semana. Ah, que saudades que tenho desse tempo!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I went to a small school in a small southern town, and even tho it was the 90s, this song, "Shout", and "Cotton Eyed Joe" were absolutely mandatory at any school function, Black or White. . . And those were the only songs that guaranteed every student would forget about cliques and crews, and just have fun and be silly. I miss those days!
The 80s version is definitely the best, although the dancing isn't the best. The remake had better dancing, but it was a little over the top. The Kenny Loggins version of the song Footloose sounded so much better and actually makes the watcher want to get up and dance. Kevin Bacon was definitely better in the role.
I agree with everything you said 100%!! The dancing in the original...most of it stunk but some of it was good!! And I had never heard of Kenny Wormwood until the new "Footloose" came out!!
Erica Poitras which is why the acting was awful the original may not have had professional dancers but the high caliber actors made up for it but even with that I still liked the dancing in the original better I was a teenager in the ‘80s so original holds a special place in my heart imo the remake didn’t do the original justice
+Juanita Franklin No comparison and did make my comment above. This 2011 version sucked in my estimation and as I said, leave the Classics alone and find another story line to bring it into this era and don't mess with what worked the first time. Not in favor of remaking classics.
Same here. And I wasn’t even born yet. (Referring to the 1984 original Footloose) I remember seeing the 2011 remake. I still have the poster. I thought it was really good. But nothing can come close to the original.
1984 ' meu ano ,ou seja 39 anos dessa pérola... Pq o que é bom nunca sai de moda... Curtindo nesse exato momento... Ouvindo até o infinito ♾️... Domingo 07 de maio de 2023 . ❤ Sabrina+ Christian ❤
That was back when a movie was actually enjoyable to act in, no buddy was striving for perfection, just something real, where you could tell the actor's were enjoying there rolls, they truly were having fun... I always loved 80's and 90's movie's...
The truth is that I am 60 and I danced (learned the moves of Kevin Bacon) so many times at 1984 version. Today, while I was watching this video on my chair and said to myself "why not". Sorry for my neighbours in the first floor. Could not help myself. So beautiful memories.
yeah...remember those days when we had to use our mouths to speak to people? I told my daughter "you don't know what records are!!" she said "Oh yes I do!! those are those great big black cds!" lol
yes because it gives nostalgia otherwise it is very obvious that new version is more fast and much better.. also this new lead dancer is more talented dancer than kevin bacon
M Muneeb You are missing the point, I lived this pal, you are not listening to the lyrics, "everybody could footloose", and that's why this movie was so big, because it was true, we all could do it just like in the movie. What you see in the remake, you gotta be a professional dancer to do that shit, regular people like you couldn't make those moves even in your sleep.
M Muneeb Kevin Bacon was a very natural dancer, very fluent and real along with all the other dancers in the 80's version, none of it look rehearsed unlike in the movie. Although I did like some of the things they did in the new version it could never be what the 80's version is. Don't even get me started on Blake Shelton's version of Footloose because ugh, that was just not right. Although I do enjoy some of Blake's music it's hard to top Kenny Loggins.
I like both versions. But I have to admit the original 1984 has just something so special. Its energy and atmosphere of the dancing and the music is unbelievable. And nothing can be better. But still you cannot say that the remake is bad, it is not bad, it is not just so good. But I admit the actors in remake are much more better dancers but sometimes that is not everything so that is why the original will be forever the best.
it's because the people in the 80s version weren't doing a whole spectacle bombastic thing, they were just young people dancing and having fun. the 2011 remake was about "let's make this as insane and big as we can" and it lacks heart.
@@Retrogamer-pl9zu I was so confused! But I was enjoying it too much to figure out the logistics of it so once we realised it's a hallucination,it made sense😂
I was watching this to try and figure out if they changed the dance to see if I was learning the og version or the umbrella academy version, turns out I'm learning the umbrella academy version ajjajaja
Oh.... los 80's.... la década dorada de la música ... Footloose, una película que transmite buena vibra, el ritmo se te mete en las venas y siii... dan ganas de salir a bailar y romper el piso.... nunca me cansaré de ver la película y más que nada, el baile final.... y al final... suspiro y hasta se me aguan los ojos.... qué nostalgia.... los 80's.... creo que medio planeta daría la vida por volver a vivir esa década grandiosa!!!!
Been working so hard I'm punching my card Eight hours for what? Oh, tell me what I got I've got this feeling That time's just holding me down I'll hit the ceiling Or else I'll tear up this town Now I gotta cut loose Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees Jack, get back, come on before we crack Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose You're playing so cool, obeying every rule Deep way down in your heart You're burning, yearning for the some-somebody to tell you That life ain't passing you by I'm trying to tell you It will if you don't even try You'll get by if you'd only cut loose Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes Ooh-whee, Marie, shake it, shake it for me Whoah, Milo come on, come on let's go Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose You got to turn me around And put your feet on the ground Gotta take the hold of all I'm turning loose, footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees Jack, get back, come on before we crack Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees Jack, get back, come on before we crack Lose your blues, everybody cut, everybody cut Everybody cut, everybody cut Everybody cut, everybody cut Everybody, everybody cut footloose
I love the 1984 version everyone's just being goofy and having fun even though no one is really a great dancer, unlike the 2011, they try to make it seem like everyone got moves.
The 2011 one felt so choreographed. Obviously it’s a movie and it has to be somewhat choreographed and planned but the new one just felt like I was watching a bunch of dancers do a professional performance while the original felt like they were dancing for themselves and just having fun, even if some of them weren’t very good at it. That was kinda the whole point
Except for the pop and lock guy at 2:23, everyone in the original *might* be on the upper end of small town teenage dancers. In the remake they are flipping through the air like ninjas.
The original is pure joy. These are real people dancing their hearts out and having so much fun! They are not trying to outdo each other in the 80's, they are all just bringing their own style to the floor and the dancers are celebrating together and loving each new style. I've never seen the remake and i'm sticking with that. It is slicker, yes, but performative and competitive. They are great dancers, but there is no joy to be found. Go watch 'you think you can dance' for better dancing if that is all you want.
I'm a pretty jaded skeptic. But dance sequences like this are just pure, joyous magic. This is my 3rd watch-through and my smile hasn't faded. Pretty amazing. Both versions.
There was this hero, Kevin Bacon, who saved the world teaching everybody dance and put off the stick from their ass... This legend is called FOOTLOOSE..!!
Denischa Briddell you can always tell when a society is. collapsing. when movie makers try and make a great movie better and turns out to be crap! that movie was made for the 80's. Don't poison an icon with today's no, class, no style Bs!!
I like the 1984 version WAAAAAY better :D I saw the '84 movie and I loved it :) I think it's more fun and just awesome, and 0:45 is seriously the best part ever lol
Ok folks, take a step back and look at society around the years these films were made. '84 saw the unveiling of apple computer, a society that was all about excess, and in December, saw the creation of Band-aids "do they know its christmas. 1984 embraced movies that got down to just plain un scripted fun as we saw a nation fresh off a recession in a recovering economy. Fast forward to 2011, we get the end of the shuttle era, Katy perry and lady gaga take numerous awards, a still weak economy,that hadn't recovered from the Great Recession yet, and a generation that seems to only like mechanized dances, leaving out the pure, self-expression dance. Numerous cultural changes happened between those two years. Movie making changed to. Not many movies of the now really have any hit home or realistic take to them. Movie making now is mostly about making money at the box office and less about how much it mirrors real life
All movies in a box office aim to make money. That's a goal, no matter how dedicated the director is to the film above all else. There are plenty of films today that are made to mirror real life, just like how there were plenty of films in the 80's that were pure fantasy. Also, call me skeptical, but I doubt you could back up that statement as fact, so please don't try and sell it like it's fact. Nothing against you, but your comment seemed too...well...pretentiously hipster to ignore. Not that I'm saying you're a pretentious hipster. You may be an okay guy in real life.
***** Band Aid and Live Aid were 2 different things. Band Aid was a British project with the "Do They Know It's Christmas" recording. Live Aid was a global concert.
TheJodo2010 Honestly, I was 20 when 84 came out, Almost Paradise was the song I danced to at my wedding with my wife. But the remake was far better in almost every way.
The original movie came out three years after my mom graduated high school, while the 2011 adaptation came out when I was 16. In my opinion, both are immaculate and boomers to millennials alike can relate as the same story is told in two very different time periods. It’s safe to say, I love them both.
As soon as the video started I had a smile on my face. I LOVE Footloose! Then when it got to the remake, my smile faded. not because of the dancing obviously the dancing is good. It just lacks something that the original has. An innocence maybe. Or it could be that Kevin Bacon charm! ;) Gotta love that man.
I wish I was around in the 80s. They knew how to have real fun without being on phones and computers all day. Everything was so minimal but still amazing. I'd choose the 80s over now a day things 100%
hands down plus two thumbs up for the 80's decade. All these movies from back then were all and still are awesome. It was mad fun and a great feeling of freedom always knowing that you could do anything back then. Hands up and rock on to all my peeps loving it all from the 80's! These movies especially ones so highly energetic like this one nobody will ever forget. Kevin Bacon ruled the floors here no freakin doubt! 80's HERE WE COME AGAIN!!! YEAH!
1984: Teens having fun. Friends dancing. One person dances and than they point to the next one. Perfect ending. 2011: remember this? Remember this? Remember this?
The 80's vibe is so more natural, fun, and organic. Never realised that the difference was this big
Well-stated!! This seems so manufactured by a generation that is used to Instagramming everything.
I think it is because both legal and social restrictions were quite high in 80's. So overcoming of a restriction resulted in heightened mood compared to 2022's...
Was there really this glitter overlay in the original? Seems odd now
Effortless - the original
80s were the best

I agree the original had better dancing.
I love remakes unlike most people but I have to agree with you. The 84' version was a bunch of unknowns making a teen movie that the had no idea would go on to become iconic. Their dance scene was like a bunch of people showing off their moves at prom or at a wedding, doing the Soul Train line type thing. The new version was like a flash mob or choreographed dance at a wedding. Still fun and interesting to watch but lacking spontaneous joy
The remake was great but yeah i can understand the original usually beats the new versions.
Nah, the original have better soundtrack and that's all, the dance in the original is goofy asf 😂😂😂
Omg I'm so glad I've not seen the 2011 version. Nothing will beat Kevin Bacon's version of Footloose.
😂😂😂 Totally agree
Hate reboots!
I do too but this one was done very well!!@kishannaconandoyle1907

@@coryskidgel3932 me2 i'd probably copy the moves with my grown self ol
From the original to the remake what a difference!! The drop of enthusiasm and energy is beyond the scale. Nothing bits the original!
100 % de acuerdo.
Jamais farão algo tão genuíno e inocente como fizeram na época passada. Aquilo que fizeram é digno de registro histórico eterno. Viva 70's e 80's.
Isso é fato e notório. Alegria total.
Años 70 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
2:27 did the best freakin dance and you CANNOT change my mind.
Colby whats the actors name?!
look at how the people in the back are dancing / clapping. so funny
Best dancer and no one knows who he is?
I like the kid before him
@@theon_ean_donly I went searching for his name myself, apparently his name is Steve Hammers
I always have a big grin on my face when I watch this. Never gets old.
Same here. And I wasn’t even born yet. (Referring to the 1984 original Footloose) I remember seeing the 2011 remake. I still have the poster. I thought it was really good. But nothing can come close to the original.

I sincerely prefer the 1984 version all the way.
I just somehow feels more real, fun, not amped up too much.
That was back when a movie was actually enjoyable to act in, no buddy was striving for perfection, just something real, where you could tell the actor's were enjoying there rolls, they truly were having fun... I always loved 80's and 90's movie's...
@@bigreddes2000 you’re a moron they still do that today
the 1984 Version is better in my opinion, they seem more having fun instead of just literally doing flips for others enjoyment.
Exactly!
Agree 100%
I have never seen footloose the 2011 one or the 1984 version but it sounds like the 1984 footloose is better than the 2011 one
oh hell yeah!!! that's exactly what the 1984 version was all about, just having a great time, not show off bullshit
I agree
It's 2019 and this song is still a favorite . A real evergreen. Love it!
It's 2022 now and it's still popular.
The truth is that I am 60 and I danced (learned the moves of Kevin Bacon) so many times at 1984 version. Today, while I was watching this video on my chair and said to myself "why not". Sorry for my neighbours in the first floor. Could not help myself. So beautiful memories.
big hair, friends, good tunes and no cell phones
exacto!!!
Agreed!
yeah...remember those days when we had to use our mouths to speak to people? I told my daughter "you don't know what records are!!" she said "Oh yes I do!! those are those great big black cds!" lol
+Mike Lazembie actually she does have a point...lmao
I refuse to get on board with those, I'll never cell out. LAN line is plenty.
I love the awkwardness of some of the dancing in the original - and it captures such a sense of JOY!!!!!
Definitely have to agree the 80's version. The. Best
I love how much work they put in the old building and it turned out to be a great place for dance of all ages!!!
80's version will ALWAYS top
yes because it gives nostalgia otherwise it is very obvious that new version is more fast and much better.. also this new lead dancer is more talented dancer than kevin bacon
M Muneeb most fast and more edited, its not talent of dancers
M Muneeb
You are missing the point, I lived this pal, you are not listening to the lyrics, "everybody could footloose", and that's why this movie was so big, because it was true, we all could do it just like in the movie. What you see in the remake, you gotta be a professional dancer to do that shit, regular people like you couldn't make those moves even in your sleep.
M Muneeb Kevin Bacon was a very natural dancer, very fluent and real along with all the other dancers in the 80's version, none of it look rehearsed unlike in the movie. Although I did like some of the things they did in the new version it could never be what the 80's version is. Don't even get me started on Blake Shelton's version of Footloose because ugh, that was just not right. Although I do enjoy some of Blake's music it's hard to top Kenny Loggins.

I like both versions. But I have to admit the original 1984 has just something so special. Its energy and atmosphere of the dancing and the music is unbelievable. And nothing can be better.
But still you cannot say that the remake is bad, it is not bad, it is not just so good. But I admit the actors in remake are much more better dancers but sometimes that is not everything so that is why the original will be forever the best.
it's because the people in the 80s version weren't doing a whole spectacle bombastic thing, they were just young people dancing and having fun. the 2011 remake was about "let's make this as insane and big as we can" and it lacks heart.
1984 feels like pure spontaneous joy. 2011 feels like a dance number in a musical.
You can that say that with a lot of 80s movies. By the middle 90s movies became to polished
Exactly
80s MUSIC is UNBEATABLE and far ahead of these times !!! The world need another POP/ROCK revolution !
The 80s will always hold a spot in my soul I'm 18 years old love the 80s lol
yessssssss fr
I’m 54 best decade ever lol
Dance is forbidden...but everybody dances like pros.
Manuel Lugo just because it was forbidden doesn’t mean they’d never dance before in secret or before the rule was made 😂
Public dancing was against the law. Key word there being public. So they could have danced in the privacy of their homes or danced anyways.
Manuel Lugo The ones the camera doesn't focus on, dance like Baby's sister.
when you feel the music, you feel the music
Exactly !!!
I can't believe The Umbrella Academy made me return here😂😅
See the umbrella vs the sparrow dancing is the best thing i see in this year till now, even id ir was an allucination
@@Retrogamer-pl9zu I was so confused! But I was enjoying it too much to figure out the logistics of it so once we realised it's a hallucination,it made sense😂
I was so excited when they did that theme bc its my favorite dance movie
I was watching this to try and figure out if they changed the dance to see if I was learning the og version or the umbrella academy version, turns out I'm learning the umbrella academy version ajjajaja
I see that kkkkkkkk
Oh.... los 80's.... la década dorada de la música ...
Footloose, una película que transmite buena vibra, el ritmo se te mete en las venas y siii... dan ganas de salir a bailar y romper el piso.... nunca me cansaré de ver la película y más que nada, el baile final.... y al final... suspiro y hasta se me aguan los ojos.... qué nostalgia.... los 80's.... creo que medio planeta daría la vida por volver a vivir esa década grandiosa!!!!
I was a junior in high school in 1984 when Footloose came to the theaters - this movie meant so much to me!
This always makes me smile , I bet every kid there forgot that the cameras were rolling 🔥🌷 The original to me is the best one..
1984...my favorite
Some classics just cannot be remade. 1984 just wins on ALL levels.
Viva a década de 80.
🎹🎼🎵🎶🎤💫💃🚶👋👋
El mejor baile!
Si ee
VIVAAAAAAAAAAAA
Década de 80 eu estava lá. 💕💖💟
Been working so hard
I'm punching my card
Eight hours for what?
Oh, tell me what I got
I've got this feeling
That time's just holding me down
I'll hit the ceiling
Or else I'll tear up this town
Now I gotta cut loose
Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
You're playing so cool, obeying every rule
Deep way down in your heart
You're burning, yearning for the some-somebody to tell you
That life ain't passing you by
I'm trying to tell you
It will if you don't even try
You'll get by if you'd only cut loose
Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Ooh-whee, Marie, shake it, shake it for me
Whoah, Milo come on, come on let's go
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
You got to turn me around
And put your feet on the ground
Gotta take the hold of all
I'm turning loose, footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody, everybody cut footloose
Luna Making SSSSSSS. WORK
Tks a lot
I love the 1984 version everyone's just being goofy and having fun even though no one is really a great dancer, unlike the 2011, they try to make it seem like everyone got moves.
Except for that one dude. Like how do you do that with your body?!
The 2011 one felt so choreographed. Obviously it’s a movie and it has to be somewhat choreographed and planned but the new one just felt like I was watching a bunch of dancers do a professional performance while the original felt like they were dancing for themselves and just having fun, even if some of them weren’t very good at it. That was kinda the whole point
It was the modern era of course people would be better dancers in 2011
Except for the pop and lock guy at 2:23, everyone in the original *might* be on the upper end of small town teenage dancers. In the remake they are flipping through the air like ninjas.
exactly
The original is pure joy. These are real people dancing their hearts out and having so much fun! They are not trying to outdo each other in the 80's, they are all just bringing their own style to the floor and the dancers are celebrating together and loving each new style.
I've never seen the remake and i'm sticking with that. It is slicker, yes, but performative and competitive. They are great dancers, but there is no joy to be found. Go watch 'you think you can dance' for better dancing if that is all you want.
They must have had one of the best days of their lives making this part. 😊😊❤ Much love from Sweden
🌺😄😇🌸
I'm a pretty jaded skeptic.
But dance sequences like this are just pure, joyous magic. This is my 3rd watch-through and my smile hasn't faded. Pretty amazing. Both versions.
There was this hero, Kevin Bacon, who saved the world teaching everybody dance and put off the stick from their ass... This legend is called FOOTLOOSE..!!
Who put the sticks up their butts?
@@disobey81 the new verson did...
Every school had a Ren McCormick back in the day.
I was the Ren of my class.
@@psgary6622 no you weren't
No more songs or dance like this,so pure and done with heart and soul!!!BRAVO!!!!
Original is so much natural and incredible❤️ love the 80’s
I love the 1984 version. honestly there was no need for a remake.
Yeah it sould stay so
Luis I barely watched the whole movie. I wasn't impressed.
Way on way
me too I like the 1984 one
Denischa Briddell
you can always tell when a society is. collapsing. when movie makers try and make a great movie better and turns out to be crap! that movie was made for the 80's. Don't poison an icon with today's no, class, no style Bs!!
2:23 As a kid I used to watch this scene on repeat for this guy alone. I had such a crush on like a 15 second character lol.
Questa è la giovinezza con gioia di vivere . Grazie.
nothing beats the original. The 80's were a vibe.
People who say "were a vibe" will never have a meaningful relationship
@@PatrickArcato That comment makes no sense.
@@X-Prime123 Are you one of them, too?
I like the 1984 version WAAAAAY better :D I saw the '84 movie and I loved it :) I think it's more fun and just awesome, and 0:45 is seriously the best part ever lol
Ouch ghhj k
I agree with you whole-heartedly! The 2011 version just isn't the same...
Ya lol
it's the glitter
Ok folks, take a step back and look at society around the years these films were made.
'84 saw the unveiling of apple computer, a society that was all about excess, and in December, saw the creation of Band-aids "do they know its christmas. 1984 embraced movies that got down to just plain un scripted fun as we saw a nation fresh off a recession in a recovering economy.
Fast forward to 2011, we get the end of the shuttle era, Katy perry and lady gaga take numerous awards, a still weak economy,that hadn't recovered from the Great Recession yet, and a generation that seems to only like mechanized dances, leaving out the pure, self-expression dance. Numerous cultural changes happened between those two years. Movie making changed to. Not many movies of the now really have any hit home or realistic take to them. Movie making now is mostly about making money at the box office and less about how much it mirrors real life
All movies in a box office aim to make money. That's a goal, no matter how dedicated the director is to the film above all else. There are plenty of films today that are made to mirror real life, just like how there were plenty of films in the 80's that were pure fantasy. Also, call me skeptical, but I doubt you could back up that statement as fact, so please don't try and sell it like it's fact. Nothing against you, but your comment seemed too...well...pretentiously hipster to ignore. Not that I'm saying you're a pretentious hipster. You may be an okay guy in real life.
***** Band Aid and Live Aid were 2 different things. Band Aid was a British project with the "Do They Know It's Christmas" recording. Live Aid was a global concert.
And that is why any remake of an 80's movie will always be nothing but a mere shadow of the original.
This movie is so stupid I don't know how people can watch this crap
TheJodo2010 Honestly, I was 20 when 84 came out, Almost Paradise was the song I danced to at my wedding with my wife. But the remake was far better in almost every way.
Brilliant and the message is very simple …. The world would be a better place if people just DANCE 🕺
The original movie came out three years after my mom graduated high school, while the 2011 adaptation came out when I was 16. In my opinion, both are immaculate and boomers to millennials alike can relate as the same story is told in two very different time periods. It’s safe to say, I love them both.
Exacto, respetos la original pero la versión moderna es genial 😏😍 conocí la otra película por la versión del 2011
read the second comment
73 years old now, don't care, when I still hear this one....babies , I can STILL dance....YA!!!! (couple of "aches" afterwards however???) LOL!!!
Gerry Vanderzeypen how pure
Old farts are not dead
Heck yeah! Music, dancing, fun times it keeps us young at heart no matter our age😊
@@MrBlackcaster Hell no!
you go dude!!
A heck of a way to leave high school with the lyrics of the classic Footloose song by Kenny Loggins.
Good lawd my man @2:27 killed it! I was 9yo when this movie was made so I couldn’t appreciate the pop-locking then
The original was just so magical so genuine!!!! Kevin Bacon had major swag he was just too cool !!!
You said it right: "genuine"!
Agreed, can't say it any better
Gratidão por tudo que veio na minha memória relembrando esses momentos maravilhosos! Gratidão!🥰💗🙌🏻✨🎵🎶👏👏👏
As soon as the video started I had a smile on my face. I LOVE Footloose! Then when it got to the remake, my smile faded. not because of the dancing obviously the dancing is good. It just lacks something that the original has. An innocence maybe. Or it could be that Kevin Bacon charm! ;) Gotta love that man.
84 one looked more realistic more crowded in on the floor and also the new one feels like it was scripted and artificial.
There will always be one and only one Footloose! The 80’s!
The 84 dance version is more energetic and makes you wanna dance with everyone. They rock hands down.
I wish I was around in the 80s. They knew how to have real fun without being on phones and computers all day. Everything was so minimal but still amazing. I'd choose the 80s over now a day things 100%
I take it from one who was alive in the 80s...it was fun! I remember great music and a lot of innocent fun.
hands down plus two thumbs up for the 80's decade. All these movies from back then were all and still are awesome. It was mad fun and a great feeling of freedom always knowing that you could do anything back then. Hands up and rock on to all my peeps loving it all from the 80's! These movies especially ones so highly energetic like this one nobody will ever forget. Kevin Bacon ruled the floors here no freakin doubt! 80's HERE WE COME AGAIN!!! YEAH!
Bom demais, época MARAVILHOSA!!!🤩❤
Nunca he ido a USA pero sus películas y canciones en los años 80 y 90 nos influenciaron para vivir felices.... una de mis favoritas
Me PUEDES decir los títulos de las películas,
Starlord:We had a dance off to save the universe
Spider-Man:Like footloose?
Starlord:Yeaaah exactly like footloose
SSB Shenron Starlord:Is it still the greatest movie of all time
Spider-Man:It never was
Wasn't Starlord abducted before Footloose was released? Because continuity...
TOMburdeu I kinda thought a fight would break out after Spider-Man said It never was
Fullmetal Shenron s
Starlord: :(
1984: Teens having fun. Friends dancing. One person dances and than they point to the next one. Perfect ending.
2011: remember this? Remember this? Remember this?
@ted ritola never seen it
Kids born after 1995 are too busy looking at screens to learn to dance or have fun
@@marcusmoore5191 Ok boomer.
@@marcusmoore5191 HEY MAN I LIKE THESE KIND OF MOVES AND LIKE TO DANCE SO STOP SAYING IT

Well the behind the scenes of the 2011 one, they said they were having fun.
Quit making things up just because you disliked the 2011 one.
This song will fill a dance floor almost every time.
