Footloose (1984)


Oh, I loved this movie so much when it was brand new. It was one of the ones I was lucky enough to see in theaters at that very important time for cinema.
I think this movie is so cool.
Released February 17th in the US.
Filmed entirely in Utah.
The story: Ren is a teenager who has just made a move with his mom from Chicago to a much smaller town.
Almost immediately Ren realizes that he, and the people in his new home town, just don't see eye to eye.
Among other things in town that the towns' people see as rebellious, dancing is an activity that has been banned to the point of being against the law.
But Ren believes, dancing is a way of celebrating life and he will try his hardest to get that law overturned somehow.
