OH HOW THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED

So today i just saw the movie Footloose. no, not the one that was just made but the original movie, like the one that was created somewhere around the 80's. i have yet to watch the new movie, and i hope that it lives up to the expectations that a lot of people had. i know that i have really big expectations after watching the old version. The old version with Kevin Bacon, is extremely amazing. I loved the storyline and the actors were great actors. i also loved how back then they werent afraid to have a needed "fight" scene, and also be able curse out someone who completely deserved it when the movie was rated PG-13. nowadays, movies are so afraid to show people the truth, in what the real consequences would be if certain actions were taken. one scene from the movie that i completely didnt see coming was when the bad guy punched the main girl (sorry, im not really good at remembering movie characters names:/), i mean i can see that happening in real life, if the guy was a total ass, but it could happen nonetheless. i wonder if that scene was in the new movie, or if they just skipped over it.

Something that i noticed that has most definitely changed throughout the years is the style of music. In the remake, the songs are of the extremes; they are either upbeat and fast-paced, or slow. in the old version, there isnt any extremes, the songs are very much in the middle. i like how the music was back in the day, it would make some people look at life a little differently if old music was listened to a lot more, especially teenagers/young adults.

Hope all the movies you watch are not a waste of time/money
Love, kRAZI kASHI :]
