  the section of 7080 .it that deepens the topics
• 1:00
  dealt with on the portal. I'm with the journalist
• 1:03
  Enzo Mauri who introduces the topic today. today
• 1:24
  an iconic film and this thanks to an explosive
• 1:27
  sound column and unforgettable to the physical
• 1:29
  abilities of the protagonist even if not everyone
• 1:32
  knows that in reality things were not exactly
• 1:34
  like that. Flashdance, original soundtrack from
• 1:49
  the motion picture, is the full title of the
• 1:51
  soundtrack of the film released in 1983. Several
• 1:55
  successful songs were extracted from it, including
• 1:57
  Maniac, performed by Michael Sembello, and Flashdance
• 2:01
  What a Feeling, written by Giorgio Moroder, with
• 2:03
  the lyrics of Kate Fossey and the singer Erin
• 2:05
  Kerr. The plot, which the critic judged flat
• 2:32
  and insignificant, tells the story of Alex Owens,
• 2:35
  played by Jennifer Bills. Alex is a girl who
• 2:38
  works as a welder, but dreaming of becoming a
• 2:40
  professional dancer, she performs at night in
• 2:43
  nightclubs. Search the page and the group of

• 3:01
  most beautiful years. Flashdance is not a musical
• 3:04
  in the traditional sense of the term, as the
• 3:06
  characters do not sing, the songs constitute
• 3:08
  moments in themselves and are presented in the
• 3:11
  style of musical videos. The success of the film
• 3:13
  was partly linked to the launch in 1981 of the
• 3:17
  MTV music channel. Numerous were the segments
• 3:19
  of films that provided ballets, the exhibitions
• 3:22
  in the nightclubs of Alex and his colleagues,
• 3:25
  his trainings and the famous final provino. It
• 3:27
  was basically music videos already ready to be
• 3:30
  broadcast on MTV. The film could thus benefit
• 3:33
  from a wide free promotion thanks to the growing
• 3:36
  popularity of the songs that remained in rotation
• 3:38
  on this channel. Supervisor of the film was Phil
• 3:51
  Ramone, who selected the songs most suitable
• 3:53
  for the respective scenes. The composer Giorgio
• 3:55
  Moroder, on the other hand, contributed with
• 3:57
  further songs during the process of making the
• 4:00
  film. His Flashdance What a Feelin' won the Oscar
• 4:03
  for Best Original Song, Golden Globe and numerous
• 4:06
  other awards. In May 1983 he reached first place
• 4:10
  in the Hot Woman of Billboard and remained in
• 4:12
  the ranking for 25 weeks, of which 6 in Vita.
• 4:34
  Also Maniac, also nominated for the Oscar in
• 4:37
  September 1983, reached the first place in the
• 4:40
  Hot 100 Billboard. Other great successes in the
• 4:43
  soundtrack were Lady Lady Lady, sung by Joe Esposito,
• 4:47
  Gloria Imagination, performed by Laura Brenigan,
• 4:51
  and I'll Be Here Where The Heart Is, performed
• 4:53
  by Kim Carnes. Lady Lady Lady Lady Don't want
• 5:01
  this for you Touch that part of you The success
• 5:16
  of the film was unexpected, the first to be skeptical
• 5:18
  was the director Adrian Line. After having rejected
• 5:22
  the script twice, considering it a silly fable,
• 5:25
  he finally accepted it and was interested in
• 5:27
  the technical aspect caused by the filming of
• 5:29
  the dance scenes. Also the actors then told that
• 5:32
  during the shots they had not at all the impression
• 5:35
  of shooting a potential successful film. Almost
• 5:38
  incredible for a film that the public instead
• 5:40
  immediately praised. As for the script, the criticism
• 5:43
  was quite harsh even with the soundtrack, judged
• 5:46
  too heterogeneous and discontinuous. Also in
• 5:49
  this case it was the audience to decree its success,
• 5:51
  the album quickly reached first place in the
• 5:54
  Hot 100. It sold 6 million copies in the United
• 5:56
  States, 20 million copies worldwide and became
• 5:59
  one of the most sold in absolute of all time.
• 6:01
  In addition to the already mentioned Oscar, in
• 6:03
  1984 the film's music got two Golden Globes and
• 6:07
  nine nominations at the Grammys, winning three.
• 6:10
  The editing received the BAFTA award thanks to
• 6:12
  the dance scenes. The film by Adria Line is an
• 6:15
  ode to love for dance that is expressed through
• 6:17
  the choreographies of the surprising ballets
• 6:20
  in the young woman's loft or during the final
• 6:22
  rehearsal. Perhaps not everyone knows, however,
• 6:33
  that these scenes were not performed by Jennifer
• 6:35
  Beals, who did not have the necessary technique.
• 6:38
  The one who envies the sublime skill is in fact
• 6:41
  Maria Hahn, a French dancer recruited to be her
• 6:44
  counterpart. The production tried at the time
• 6:47
  to suffocate this information, as the same Marin
• 6:50
  then said. The producers thought that by revealing
• 6:52
  that Jennifer had not performed the dance scenes,
• 6:55
  they would have broken the magic. So I proposed
• 6:57
  that they make me appear as a choreographer assistant
• 7:00
  or even just in the thanks. In the end, the information
• 7:03
  was quickly leaked, but today, decades later,
• 7:06
  few people remember that Jennifer Bills did not
• 7:09
  really dance in the film. But there is more,
• 7:11
  Maria Hahn was not the only one to replace Jennifer
• 7:14
  Bills. poiché anche lei è stata doppiata da una
• 7:17
  ginnasta e da un ballerino. Quando nel balletto
• 7:19
  finale Alex si tuffa saltando nel vuoto, è infatti
• 7:22
  Sharon Shapiro a eseguire il salto acrobatico,
• 7:25
  e per la complessa trottola sulla schiena che
• 7:27
  segue subito dopo, la produzione dovette rivolgersi
• 7:30
  a Richard Colon, alias Crazy Legs, un giovane
• 7:33
  breakdancer di 17 anni. Grazie a Denzo Mauri
