Such a beautiful woman. A little 80s breakdance move in her routine. The 80s. What an amazing decade to be alive. I was in high school from 80 to 84. Big hair, video game parlors, Van Halen, and Flashdance! And, no mobile phones! Hellz yeah! 😎🤟
I'm a 80s/90s kid that was quick on both the Internet and mobilephones... These days being middle aged looking back on my live and the world, both was/are a scourge. On another 80s video someone said UA-cam is a timemachine because we can all go back to a time when it was really good by watching/listening to these videos. Sounds like a sound advise😄
The choreography along with the music is epic and timeless. It doesnt matter if you are a metalhead ,a rapper, an RNB fan, it's just impossible not to be touched by this masterpiece
The 80's were the best time of my life!!! The 80's music was the best dancing music!!! The most memorable moments of fun and excitement!!! She is a fantastic dancer!! 💃💃💃...Love this movie.....
No matter how time flies, this track, along with this dance is simply priceless and timeless! RIP Irene Cara, you were loved by us all and for making our teenage years a wonder.
@@j.d.contreras392 , That is indeed nice to hear. I was a teenager around 13 when Irene Cara belted out this timeless classic, Gosh I do feel like Methuselah now...🤣🤣
This is probably one of the best dance scene in any movie. The soundtrack is iconic and everytime i hear the title track i want to dance. We had so much joy and excitement in music and film in the 80s.
My parents named me Alexandra after they saw this movie together ❤. Mom emailed me this video the other day. What a blessing to be born to the 2 greatest parents of all time ❤️
I always said if I ever had a daughter (which sadly never happened) it would be an Alexandra. Both because of Alexander the Great and, mainly, because of Flashdance :). Kudos to you and your parents! ❤
That's the best thing you could ever say or give to a parent, is a compliment such as you wrote. I'm sure they are very proud of you. They'll be a blessing to your through the Eternities.
I’m going on 62 and I still shake my groove thing when I hear this song,thank you Irene Cara for sharing your incredible talent with the world, wherever you are I can only hope you’re still making music
@@tarajones575 I turn 62 in January and don't feel it. This was a great/tough time in my life as I just graduated college and was trying to figure my life out.
@@aftacomics5865 congratulations ... good for you.. our génération have had good music by the 70 and the 80 ... that s keep us young at heart. .. 🙏🧚♀️👍👍
Hard to believe it’s been 40 years since this film came out. I saw it with some female friends. When she came running out of the audition and Nick was waiting for her, the entire theatre erupted in applause, especially the women.
I was 2nd middle school goer when I saw this movie with my friend..,He took his father money often to play around those times…Otherwise, how could we see this movie at penniless time…thanks to the friend, got a unforgettable time..
I can't believe it was a man that did the final sequence. You could barely tell from the wig. This guy did an excellent job and this is one of my favorite movies of all time. God I loved the 80's!
Iconic scene, iconic movie that was supposed to be a dud, I'd give it a 10! Agreed, gives me goosebumps every time I watch it and never disappoints! Smiles all around.
the beauty of this particular scene, its atmosphere, the music and the unique charm of the dancer will never tire me, they will probably stay with me forever
I loved this movie. Jennifer knocked it out of the park in this movie with her dancing. RIP Irene🙏🙏🕊️🕊️ Your singing this song made this movie. Gone, but not forgotten 😪
This scene, no matter how many times I watch, always brings tears to my eyes. Talk about making someone feel something. To me, this scene is about coming alive. At one point I believe she forgets she's even auditioning. She's doing it for her, because she loves it, it's inside of her. The break down part cracks me up but her moves right after that is this energy of "I'm going to dance whether I get in this or not! This is who I am, this is ME!" Tears every single time. What a masterpiece.
Irene Cara and this song is an 80's icon. Brings me back in time each time I listen to this song. My condolences to her family. R.I.P Irene Cara. You'll be always with me everytime I listen to your song.
Hoy a mis 45 años, esta pieza me sigue conmoviendo como aquel primer día que la escuché, la música, la película, realmente siempre está presente en mi vida, por su música, por el mensaje de la película, que mas allá que no tiene un libro muy elaborado, el mensaje que jamás renunciemos a nuestros sueños a veces estará más cerca y otras veces más lejos pero la victoria estará en nuestra perseverancia hasta llegar a eso y no importa cuál sea nuestra condición social sino llegar a lo que tanto venimos peleando de hace años, el camino no sera fácil pero pocos lo logran, en alex esta ese mensaje acompañado de una música increíble
One of the best dance scenes ever. The guy who actually did the breakdancing parts was only 16 years old at the time. That's Crazy Legs Richard Colon. The leap through the air was actually done by a gymnast and the rest of it was done by the same dancer who did most of the moves in the Maniac scene, Marine Jahan. It looks so incredible because it took 3 experts to do it. Irene Cara. RIP
Это старая и настоящая Америка 80-х и 90-х. Когда женщину можно было назвать женщиной, не было трансгендеров, которые заполонили все вокруг сейчас. Да, тогда в моде была естественность, натуральность, включая естественность и чистоту женской кожи без "рукавов", забитых татуировками.
Irene, who says you have gone ? Every time your songs keep bringing out your passions coursing right into our bloodstream, shows that you are quite alive within our hearts forever.
Wonderful performance. After all these years, I am still left speechless and in awe. We are watching an angel in flight and a heavenly body twirling. Still a beautiful performance.
Marine Jahan (magnificent musicality in expression and rhythm), Jennifer Beals (drop dead gorgeous) and Irene Cara (fantastic singer) What a unmatched combo!
This movie is super inspiring. Coming from what someone knew to be "the way" and making her dreams come true through passion, belief, and hard work. It's a coming of age adult story. I could not not understand the meaning of this epic tale until I was older. Beautiful choreography, beautiful story. Thank you for posting this.
This song and this dancer chokes me up every time. I took jazz and disco lessons as an adult in 1978. It was a wonderful time to go out to clubs dancing.
Ostale su ove scene iz filma za večno pamćenje....prelepo ..sećam se koliko sam bila srećna posle gledanja ovog filma ..mogla sam da poletim...toliko lepe i pozitivne enetgije je preneo nama gledaocima...👍👊🎶🎶🎶🎶🕺❤️
For those of us who remember those times, break dancing was not yet a national thing. This film kind of put it in front of the nation at large - just that little spin she did was something most had never seen before and it blew people's minds. People began asking, "What was that thing she did? How did she do that?" It was the film everyone was recommending back then as a must see.
To be fair, Michael Jackson introduced break dancing to the world when he moonwalked on national television around the same time in 1983. I was 13, living in a very white suburb outside of Toronto and by the end of the summer kids were dragging around ghetto blasters and carboard to have dance offs all over the place - it was hilarious. As young teenage boys in the pre-internet age, we went to see this movie for something else entirely!
The most powerful, emotional dance scene I've seen in my adult life. Continues to Flippin amaze and excite, and make me feel empowered! 30 yrs later. That says something
Eu hoje tenho 57 anos estou aqui revendo essa cena maravilhosa que me emocionou na juventude e estamos vivendo no Brasil um calor infernal e só assim foi possível sentir um arrepio kkkkkk. Simplesmente maravilhosa 🙏👏👏👏👏🌻🌻🌻❤️❤️❤️
@@abyteuser6297 Apparently there were 3 or 4 "dancers." One gymnast, another breakdancer from somewhere, Marine Jahan, and possibly someone else. No one person did the entire scene.
This movie and music playing, also inspired me to clinch my first job...on leaving the army. Funnily enough it was also at an Iron and Steel Corporation...in South Africa... Wow...this certainly does bring back memories...I am in my 70's now... And not a day older... Hahaa...
cuanta maravilla en aquellos años.....que nostalgia!! como me gustaria vivirlo todo de nuevo..wonder in those years.....what nostalgia!! I would like to live it all over again...
The movie has had it's detractors from over the years, but there is no denying what a perfect feeling of triumph this ending is. For any movie about a dancer, it really has no equal. For anyone that ever had a dream, they can relate to this.
@IronmanKMSA, I remember seeing this great movie in the theatre when it was released in 1983 and every movie critic I know of universally hated it! But I cannot see what the fuss was all about. Sure, the story and the acting wasn't all that great, especially by Jennifer Beals but I don't think it was meant to be. Besides, it her first acting gig. Adrian Lyne I thought did a good job with the directing considering what he had with the script. But it was the dancing and the music that made the movie.
@@HighAsHeckPriestess I'm not such a big fan of the Step-Up movies. Too heavily choreographed for my liking, like a lot of modern stuff. The dancers appear to be concentrating more on their moves than on their performance, if that makes sense. Flashdance's final sequence feels much more freestyle, energetic and straight from the heart.
10.... I wasn't impressed when it was first released to theaters, but now find the sequence delightful...despite the obvious cuts and substitutions. The raw power and joy of dance is hard to ignore.
They used 3 different people to do this "dance" scene. Marine Jahan was Jennifer Beals' body double for the dancing scenes. Jahan was kept hidden from the press because the filmmakers did not want to ruin the illusion. Alex's leap through the air in the audition scene was done by gymnast Sharon Shapiro and the break-dancing was done by Crazy Legs a MALE break dancer.
Great info - had not heard about the male break dancer. On Blade Runner a similar thing was done though not planned - Daryl Hannah’s gymnast double is a man, he was the teacher for the intended female double and took over when she got too tired.
My mum passed away a few years ago. She was only in her 40s, and when I was a little girl she would always tell me about the time she performed this dance when she was a kid. I love watching this and imagining my mummy 💞
LYRICS First, when there's nothing But a slow glowing dream That your fear seems to hide Deep inside your mind All alone, I have cried Silent tears full of pride In a world made of steel Made of stone Well, I hear the music Close my eyes, feel the rhythm Wrap around, take a hold of my heart What a feeling Being's believin' I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life Take your passion And make it happen Pictures come alive You can dance right through your life Now I hear the music Close my eyes, I am rhythm In a flash, it takes hold of my heart What a feeling Being's believin' I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life Take your passion And make it happen Pictures come alive You can dance right through your life What a feeling What a feeling (I am music now) Being's believin' (I am rhythm now) Pictures come alive You can dance right through your life What a feeling (I can really have it all) What a feeling (pictures come alive when I call) I can have it all (I can really have it all) Have it all (pictures come alive when I call) (Call, call, call, call) I can have it all (being's believin') Being's believin' (take your passion) Make it happen (What a feeling) What a feeling
FYI >>> Marine Jahan was Jennifer Beals' body double for the dancing scenes. Alex's leap through the air in the audition scene was done by gymnast Sharon Shapiro and the break-dancing was done by Crazy Legs. Play it in slow motion and you will see. :)
@@katarzynamuszynska5426 I watched it when it first came out...lots of tidbits and trivia given about the movie. Also...watch the scene in slow motion...you will see the different faces...subtly
We all know that Jennifer Beals didn't dance in that scene, and the young lady who received no recognition for that performance made the movie magical. She should have gotten recognition, as that was an incredible performance. She knows who she is, and so do we. God bless her. She will be 60 now, I hope she is still as fit and healthy as she was then.
That song, with her phenomenall athletic, gymnastic modern dance once again gave me cold goosebumps while bouncing on rhythm with smile on my face. Truly fantastic!!
yeah... only it wasn't her doing the dancing, it was performed by dancer Marine Jahan, gymnast Sharon Shapiro, and breakdancer Richard "Crazy Legs" Colón
Many moons ago I was at a hospital with depression and there was a woman there who suddenly started dancing like this. She was amazing. I never saw her again after I was discharged. I do hope she is still dancing.
You have memories like I do. Especially in hospitals. My best friend who is a male nurse became one of my best friends. Those nurses become a part of you. I'm so glad you posted this. The nurses (male and female) are the best part of being in a hospital. Some don't care, but most of them do. I'm glad you had a good experience though. I'm a Gemini and get along well with the entire staff at my hospital. I feel really bad for them though, considering all they have to go through. I bought flowers for the entire 2nd floor at my hospital. It's rare that nice people like you post amazingly nice things like this about people who take care of others. I hope you are doing well and I'm pretty sure she is still dancing. God bless my friend.
In my circle of workers and friends for years, they always thought it was a naff film and song. I heard the song 3 times a day at work when it came out and loved it every time. Then saw the film a few years later and thought, no, it's not a blockbuster but an inspiring little gem of a film! All about the struggles and hard work of making a better future for yourself, by following a dream and seeing it through! I have no doubt this song and film would have inspired some people, even in different fields of work. I still love hearing this song today!
This was such an amazing performance. She had us all trying to dance like that... RIP Queen IreneCara. Love the movie. Flashdance 1980s.... So Kick a$$.Peace
I was about 13 or 14 years old when this movie came out. This song by Irene Cara was just phenomenal! I just found out today that she won the Oscar for "Best Original Song", I never knew that. I have been a fan of hers from "Fame, Sparkle and DC Cab" (I bet some of you forgot about that one). Sorry to see this pretty lady go, R.I.P Irene Cara!
@@RoyDunlop-v9v Yes, that one too. There were so many local dance performances inspired by those two movies at the time. People were doing shows in shopping malls, schools, and in theaters. It was GREAT!
Everyone talking about Irene Cara, yes, beautiful music, but let’s no forget about this spectacular performance by Jennifer Beals and Marine Jahan 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍
I was 18 when i went to this movie with my girlfriend at the theatres in Los Angeles on a friday evening in the summer what a memory i am 82 now how the times have passed by, she's still my wife today ❤
I can sympathize with your feeling. But it doesn't add up. This movie came out in 1984. Even if you saw this in 1984 at 18, you would be 58, not 82. Your children might have gone to this movie with their dates. Are you sure that was this Movie? It must be a movie that came out in 1960. Closest to this is the West Side story that came out in 1961
I saw this movie also in 83-84 when I was 18 yrs old in turkey and still in turkey, I am 59 today in '24 how the fuck you get to be 82 and I am 59. One of us is lying bro...
I can watch this over and over and never gets old. This is the panicle of youth, and dreams come true. Even though my dreams didn’t come true, I still am cheering - for everyone else who still, and don’t know, that they can do do it🎉!!!!
Looking at these kind of videos and music makes me thinking that we have lost something very important and turned the wrong way at some point after 2000s...
You do know that the young woman in that still is not Jennifer Beals. She is the French double they hired to do the difficult dance steps and jumps. She never received any credit, whatsoever. Not a happy camper over that.

Wish I Could Have Moved Like That!(No Way Now)
Wonderful performance. After all these years, I am still left speechless and in awe. We are watching an angel in flight and a heavenly body twirling. Still a beautiful performance.
Как красиво сказано ❤
It was a male dancer who did the dancing, look it up.
@@MrMeadfoot Stop dude. It was French dancer Marine Jahan.
@@MrMeadfoot A male dancer does the spinning on the ground, and a gymnast does the air jump, but all the rest is Marine Jahan.
Songs from yesterday HELD so much MEANING. When you climb the ladder of age, the fragrance of their essence is ever more pronounced.
Ain't that the damn truth. Songs used to mean something, expressed complex emotions. Now it's all about the primitive instincts of the species. Ugh.
Definitely one of the best dancing scenes of all time. A solid 10 for sure.
Exactamente 👌
Filme erótico
Os tempos em que filmes românticos acabavam felizes e não com morte!Incrível!Sensação boa!
Todo bom bendisiones Russia 🇲🇽
Muito obrigado saludos Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I don't know what that means, but thank you Diana V.S
Hail to the Chief VJ
@@wolverines_boneclaws5362 that is we are happy the world that Russian don't have to declare a nuclear war against humans
Primeiro os romances terminavam em morte depois vieram os finais felizes sem noção e depois voltaram aos dramas, romantismo = tragedia
Marine Jahan (magnificent musicality in expression and rhythm), Jennifer Beals (drop dead gorgeous) and Irene Cara (fantastic singer) What a unmatched combo!
Så sant hälsningar från Sweden
This movie is super inspiring. Coming from what someone knew to be "the way" and making her dreams come true through passion, belief, and hard work. It's a coming of age adult story. I could not not understand the meaning of this epic tale until I was older. Beautiful choreography, beautiful story. Thank you for posting this.
This song and this dancer chokes me up every time. I took jazz and disco lessons as an adult in 1978. It was a wonderful time to go out to clubs dancing.
Que lindo, bendiciones por eso.
Thank you Irene. You will forever be in our hearts and apart of our dance memories.
RIP Irene Cara. Your legendary dancing scene and your song has spread world wide. You will be remembered.
Ostale su ove scene iz filma za večno pamćenje....prelepo ..sećam se koliko sam bila srećna posle gledanja ovog filma ..mogla sam da poletim...toliko lepe i pozitivne enetgije je preneo nama gledaocima...👍👊🎶🎶🎶🎶🕺❤️
All these years after and this film clip still gives me goosebumps. ❤

Muss ja nicht Wissen
For those of us who remember those times, break dancing was not yet a national thing. This film kind of put it in front of the nation at large - just that little spin she did was something most had never seen before and it blew people's minds. People began asking, "What was that thing she did? How did she do that?" It was the film everyone was recommending back then as a must see.
That move was actually done by a young man, hard to believe but true. I think he was 16 or so.
To be fair, Michael Jackson introduced break dancing to the world when he moonwalked on national television around the same time in 1983. I was 13, living in a very white suburb outside of Toronto and by the end of the summer kids were dragging around ghetto blasters and carboard to have dance offs all over the place - it was hilarious. As young teenage boys in the pre-internet age, we went to see this movie for something else entirely!
The most powerful, emotional dance scene I've seen in my adult life. Continues to Flippin amaze and excite, and make me feel empowered! 30 yrs later. That says something
That says a lot... First time I've watched/ever seen it, and yeah, she's really good.
King in the North approve this song.
Well I’m sorry for the random message I was wondering if you will be open to any business opportunities??
Eu hoje tenho 57 anos estou aqui revendo essa cena maravilhosa que me emocionou na juventude e estamos vivendo no Brasil um calor infernal e só assim foi possível sentir um arrepio kkkkkk. Simplesmente maravilhosa 🙏👏👏👏👏🌻🌻🌻❤️❤️❤️
She Plays An Amazing Part On This Stage, And The Dancer Girl Really Deserves Her Role!!!
Jennifer Beals?
@@jurgenpuype9275 Marine Jahan is the name of the dancer performing this scene
@@abyteuser6297 Apparently there were 3 or 4 "dancers." One gymnast, another breakdancer from somewhere, Marine Jahan, and possibly someone else. No one person did the entire scene.
@@sirwinston2368 Wow! I had no idea but it makes a lot of sense as some of the moves were stuff you see in gymnastics
Irene Cara, you enriched many lives with your singing and your music. Now you can fill up the heavens with your beautiful voice. Rest In Peace.
This movie and music playing, also inspired me to clinch my first job...on leaving the army. Funnily enough it was also at an Iron and Steel Corporation...in South Africa... Wow...this certainly does bring back memories...I am in my 70's now... And not a day older... Hahaa...
cuanta maravilla en aquellos años.....que nostalgia!! como me gustaria vivirlo todo de nuevo..wonder in those years.....what nostalgia!! I would like to live it all over again...
One of the best scenes I’m cinema history!!! I saw this at 7 years old and felt it to my soul!! Chase your dreams everybody
She was absolutely fantastic, so I will say she deserves a ten!
Agreed.... however parts is a He...
She's absolutely perfect
A male dancer did most of the dancing.
フラッシュダンス何十回見たかなあ。ブレイクダンスも覚えてダンスしたよ。今の現在でも意味ある素晴らしい映画😂😂😂
The movie has had it's detractors from over the years, but there is no denying what a perfect feeling of triumph this ending is. For any movie about a dancer, it really has no equal. For anyone that ever had a dream, they can relate to this.
Step up revolution is close (the end where the different styles come together to represent the spirit of Miami, and the neighborhood gets to remain)
@IronmanKMSA, I remember seeing this great movie in the theatre when it was released in 1983 and every movie critic I know of universally hated it! But I cannot see what the fuss was all about. Sure, the story and the acting wasn't all that great, especially by Jennifer Beals but I don't think it was meant to be. Besides, it her first acting gig.
Adrian Lyne I thought did a good job with the directing considering what he had with the script. But it was the dancing and the music that made the movie.
It's a great scene and probably qualifies as one of the best dance scenes ever in film.
@@HighAsHeckPriestess I'm not such a big fan of the Step-Up movies. Too heavily choreographed for my liking, like a lot of modern stuff. The dancers appear to be concentrating more on their moves than on their performance, if that makes sense. Flashdance's final sequence feels much more freestyle, energetic and straight from the heart.
Marcou minha adolescência assistir sentada no corredor do cinema lotado
In memory of Irene Cara. What a feeling indeed!
The brightest star she is!
Irene was Singer
@@zoltanbebto4321 yes.
Loved you if know
My english is not very not very good lookin
Saw this in the theater opening weekend. Totally blown away by this scene! Still brings tears to my eyes. :)
10.... I wasn't impressed when it was first released to theaters, but now find the sequence delightful...despite the obvious cuts and substitutions. The raw power and joy of dance is hard to ignore.
They used 3 different people to do this "dance" scene. Marine Jahan was Jennifer Beals' body double for the dancing scenes. Jahan was kept hidden from the press because the filmmakers did not want to ruin the illusion. Alex's leap through the air in the audition scene was done by gymnast Sharon Shapiro and the break-dancing was done by Crazy Legs a MALE break dancer.
Wow! learn something new every day. A guy, who'd thought
@@davep6977 So many, here, saying how gorgeous she was and she was not even there.
Reminds me of the time I was a body double for Schwarzenegger.
@@rcnelson 👍😆👍😂👍😃👍
Great info - had not heard about the male break dancer. On Blade Runner a similar thing was done though not planned - Daryl Hannah’s gymnast double is a man, he was the teacher for the intended female double and took over when she got too tired.
My mum passed away a few years ago. She was only in her 40s, and when I was a little girl she would always tell me about the time she performed this dance when she was a kid. I love watching this and imagining my mummy 💞
How wonderful!
@@isabellafraser1611 thank you 💓

LYRICS
First, when there's nothing
But a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide
Deep inside your mind
All alone, I have cried
Silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel
Made of stone
Well, I hear the music
Close my eyes, feel the rhythm
Wrap around, take a hold of my heart
What a feeling
Being's believin'
I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life
Now I hear the music
Close my eyes, I am rhythm
In a flash, it takes hold of my heart
What a feeling
Being's believin'
I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life
What a feeling
What a feeling (I am music now)
Being's believin' (I am rhythm now)
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life
What a feeling (I can really have it all)
What a feeling (pictures come alive when I call)
I can have it all (I can really have it all)
Have it all (pictures come alive when I call)
(Call, call, call, call)
I can have it all (being's believin')
Being's believin' (take your passion)
Make it happen
(What a feeling)
What a feeling
Brought back such wonderful memories of school and watching movies with my parents and so much FUN!!
How quickly the years have passed. Irene may have faded from consciousness but this magnificent song will live on. RIP Irene 1959-22
FYI >>> Marine Jahan was Jennifer Beals' body double for the dancing scenes. Alex's leap through the air in the audition scene was done by gymnast Sharon Shapiro and the break-dancing was done by Crazy Legs. Play it in slow motion and you will see. :)
How you know ?
@@katarzynamuszynska5426 I watched it when it first came out...lots of tidbits and trivia given about the movie. Also...watch the scene in slow motion...you will see the different faces...subtly
@@jackgamble6120 Ok i understand
Thank you brining their contribution to our awareness ❤
Why did you have to ruin my teenage fantasies?😹😹😹
Truly amazing and iconic. This deserves to be in the top 100 scenes in cinema
Inesquecível, momento lindo e único 😍❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🌻🌻🌻
Sempre vale a pena ver e ouvir de novo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Flashdance was a FANTASTIC movie !!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
ADD FOOTLOOSE THE ORIGINAL AND DIRTY DANCING 💃 ❤❤❤❤❤
We all know that Jennifer Beals didn't dance in that scene, and the young lady who received no recognition for that performance made the movie magical. She should have gotten recognition, as that was an incredible performance. She knows who she is, and so do we. God bless her. She will be 60 now, I hope she is still as fit and healthy as she was then.
Sharon Shapiro. A former gymnast, she did the body flips . Then there were a couple of other dancers too...
C’est la vie.
Actually that is Jennifer, google it
@@Suzanne-ds7wq 😂😂😂
The same with Black SWAN. That actress needs to give back that award.
RIP Irene Cara. Your song made this movie.
What do you mean RIP? Did she die?
@@manuelaoconnell9401 yes, she died in 2022
Excelente gracias película y banda sonora jamás pasa de moda lo bueno❤❤❤❤❤❤
That song, with her phenomenall athletic, gymnastic modern dance once again gave me cold goosebumps while bouncing on rhythm with smile on my face. Truly fantastic!!
yeah... only it wasn't her doing the dancing, it was performed by dancer Marine Jahan, gymnast Sharon Shapiro, and breakdancer Richard "Crazy Legs" Colón
Os corpos atléticos sem anabolizantes e cirurgias plásticas. Adoro, pura beleza.
@@Juidodin you can see it's not Jennifer dancing. The wigs don't hide it 😁😍😂🤣
@@romerjusu3804 the breakdancing part was done by a dude.. so he had to tuck something away... ouch...
I always heard it was a guy...amazing
Many moons ago I was at a hospital with depression and there was a woman there who suddenly started dancing like this. She was amazing. I never saw her again after I was discharged. I do hope she is still dancing.
You have memories like I do. Especially in hospitals. My best friend who is a male nurse became one of my best friends. Those nurses become a part of you. I'm so glad you posted this. The nurses (male and female) are the best part of being in a hospital. Some don't care, but most of them do. I'm glad you had a good experience though. I'm a Gemini and get along well with the entire staff at my hospital. I feel really bad for them though, considering all they have to go through. I bought flowers for the entire 2nd floor at my hospital. It's rare that nice people like you post amazingly nice things like this about people who take care of others. I hope you are doing well and I'm pretty sure she is still dancing. God bless my friend.
Did she help cure your depression ....
In my circle of workers and friends for years, they always thought it was a naff film and song.
I heard the song 3 times a day at work when it came out and loved it every time.
Then saw the film a few years later and thought, no, it's not a blockbuster but an inspiring little gem of a film!
All about the struggles and hard work of making a better future for yourself, by following a dream and seeing it through!
I have no doubt this song and film would have inspired some people, even in different fields of work.
I still love hearing this song today!
This episode is iconic. It can't be beated.
This was such an amazing performance. She had us all trying to dance like that... RIP Queen IreneCara. Love the movie. Flashdance 1980s.... So Kick a$$.Peace
She is still alive!
Who are you talking about?
@@jamessickmore236 Jennifer Beals, I think he might have been referring to her when he said RIP.
@@SJdC2004 Jennifer Beals is very much alive
@@jamessickmore236 Perhaps Irene Cara? She died at the end of last year.
I was about 13 or 14 years old when this movie came out. This song by Irene Cara was just phenomenal! I just found out today that she won the Oscar for "Best Original Song", I never knew that. I have been a fan of hers from "Fame, Sparkle and DC Cab" (I bet some of you forgot about that one). Sorry to see this pretty lady go, R.I.P Irene Cara!
3fo0
Did not forget D.C.Cab.
Mr.T was in that.
Yess Fame, I loved to watch that!
보니 건강하소서 내젊은시절의 행복을 주어서 고맙소
Dance was a big thing back then. This movie started a dance rage everywhere.
I remember my mom watching a show called fame around the same time.
@@RoyDunlop-v9v Yes, that one too. There were so many local dance performances inspired by those two movies at the time. People were doing shows in shopping malls, schools, and in theaters. It was GREAT!
Everyone talking about Irene Cara, yes, beautiful music, but let’s no forget about this spectacular performance by Jennifer Beals and Marine Jahan 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍
But without the perfect soundtrack there would have been no movie. Actresses and dancers are dime a dozen. The perfect song is rare.
U know crazy legs a guy did some of the dancing right
ME ENCANTAAAAA !!! Parte de mi juventud... que añoranza,nunca olvidaré esa película 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I loved when she gave him a rose, made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!😊
I was 18 when i went to this movie with my girlfriend at the theatres in Los Angeles on a friday evening in the summer what a memory i am 82 now how the times have passed by, she's still my wife today ❤
Well done my friend, well done.
How can you be 82 if you saw this movie when you were 18?
I can sympathize with your feeling. But it doesn't add up. This movie came out in 1984. Even if you saw this in 1984 at 18, you would be 58, not 82. Your children might have gone to this movie with their dates.
Are you sure that was this Movie? It must be a movie that came out in 1960.
Closest to this is the West Side story that came out in 1961
I saw this movie also in 83-84 when I was 18 yrs old in turkey and still in turkey, I am 59 today in '24 how the fuck you get to be 82 and I am 59. One of us is lying bro...
Thank you! Weird crazy how time flies! ❤️❤️
Assistí esse video umas 50 vezes já. Em todas elas eu consigo me arrepiar no início!! Maravilhoso, ela é Show!!!
é exatamente isso!!! so so wonderful
Um clássico da sessão da tarde ❤ marcou gerações. Eu como um cinéfilo adorava assistir toda vez que passava na programação da Rede Globo.
parceiro isso no tempo que a globo era a globo
I can watch this over and over and never gets old. This is the panicle of youth, and dreams come true. Even though my dreams didn’t come true, I still am cheering - for everyone else who still, and don’t know, that they can do do it🎉!!!!
Aww, thanks for the encouragement ! You rock !
Lucy Lee Flippin contributed more to this scene than she gets credit for. Her reactions added so many layers of emotion. 💜
Totally agree.
way to go lucy lee
Miss Wilder, Almanzo’s sister 😂
@@vsanchez7158 I KNEW she looked familiar! YES! Almanzo's sister!!!!!
She looks like Vicki Lewis.
Such a great time to be growing up I'm so grateful for this generation.
well said
me too. I wouldn't have had it any other way.
It never gets old. I could watch it everyday.
Looking at these kind of videos and music makes me thinking that we have lost something very important and turned the wrong way at some point after 2000s...
This is a classic dance sequence that will always be remembered. It was a thrill to see in the movie theater at the time that it premiered.
We don’t have good movies like this anymore. I’ve searched. We need more good feel good movies that make us feel good.
I like the beer version better.
You do know that the young woman in that still is not Jennifer Beals. She is the French double they hired to do the difficult dance steps and jumps. She never received any credit, whatsoever. Not a happy camper over that.
Saibam ou não, o importante é a dublê francesa saber que o feito é dela
You mean movies aren’t real?? 🙄🤦🏻♀️
Wasnt it a man??
@@TB-uf6tb yes it was!
The scene of her break dancing spinning on the floor is actually a guy
