Thoughts on the movie "Fame".

The movie "Fame" (remake version) was good. But I take issue with the subtext that you have to be performing professionally to have any value as a performer. Not everyone can work on that level. Just because someone thinks you "don't have what it takes" doesn't mean you should throw yourself in front of a train. Move somewhere else where you can do what you love and be appreciated for it. Be happy with who you are, where you are. Don't give up the dream, but be realistic!
