-My comments
I’m a big fan of this movie. I’ve watched it ten times at least. I love songs in this movie. Listening and singing these songs make me happy. This movie seems to be just happy movie on surface, but it covers black and white issue.
There is my favorite word in the song, "YOU CAN’T STOP THE BEAT”.
"You can’t stop today
As it comes speeding around the track
Yesterday is history
And it’s never coming back! Look ahead, cause…
Tomorrow is a brand new day,
And it don’t know white from black”
