I can only imagine how it would be really unsettling to find out the movie wasn't just a light afternoon entertainment. It's so ironic that some do only remember it as a dance movie since it really seemed to picture the time well. (So they say in the movie reviews. People who know what it was like to live there back then.) Perhaps it was because of that that it got such good praises long after. So if people do not remember it being anything else than a dance movie, isn't it somewhat the movies fault that it's real message was forgotten? It wasn't good enough.

Personally I would have wanted the plot to be a little bit thicker. More. Better.

Thank goodness for YouTube, there's so much silent movies, short and long available nowadays, also Buster Keaton, that a good hour or two... days can be spent with them. :)

I love the first movies of Terminator and Alien. The next ones after that aren't as good, some are perhaps even bad or just boring, but the first ones are really good.
