craziest thing is that she thought she had a chance at juilliard when she took a (presumably several week long) break of off ballet in what must be the middle of college audition season! i was working on my dance college auditions last year, and maybe it was different in 2001, but you do NOT have time as a potential college dancer to take significant amounts of time off during the audition season, there's just too much you have to do

Soooooo as a white woman I don’t know if I have a lot to add to the conversation of the “white people experiencing black culture” in movies conversation, but I do need to say this (as a sort of confessional lol): I was in middle school when this came out and I was a very sheltered and naive white girl who went from going to school in the country (vast majority white folks) to going to middle school downtown (with a vast majority of black folks). And I was also very into dance, and fully felt this movie was about ME and embraced it and loved it, and long story short (partially inspired by this movie) I ended up doing a tap recital to “Chicken Head” at 13 and I have…regrets. (In my defense that song had a perfect beat for tap, but that’s my only defense lol-) Edit: My sister reminded me of the most devastating part of this that I apparently blocked out: The whole recital was to welcome special guests who came to give a talk at our school about pursuing arts as a career (my school was a magnet school and had a bunch of cool classes that other schools didn’t, like dance and different types of art classes). Those special guests were 3LW. 3LW watched me tap dance to “Chicken Head”.

9:30 I definitely noticed the undercurrent of "racial transgression" movies like this often harbor beneath their "well meaning" venteer. Treating the presence of white people within black communities and institutions (whether by choice or by force) as a crossing of racial transgression is doing more harm than it helps. It reinforces racial interactions as being taboo and discomforting that it purports to try to break down.

@elleofhearts8471 8 ай бұрын

and worse still is how usually black charectors are often treated as props meant to drive the development of the white main charector. Even in mostly black settings, black people don't get to take center stage. They have to drop everything to help the white charector become all they can be...because theyre white and uncomfortable and they need things from the community.

As soon as they do something out of pocket making their antiblackness jump out(aka their true selves) & us who aren't with that ish checks them...Black folks be the first ones with their capes ready to defend the b.s - while we get shut down exposing the truth.

Jessica Alba did a similar movie called “Honey” and it’s a little more forgivable in the terms that Jessica Alba is Latina, so it doesn’t have the white savior stink lingering over it, but it’s equally as bad in terms of acting and story. Like, she instantly comes up with a new dance after watching some guys play basketball for like 20 seconds.

There's nothing you are missing from my 42 -year-old queer white woman POV. in fact, i was so happy you did this review bc i think about this movie a lot (specifically because Kerry Washington is just so so beautiful & I had a huge crush on her but ALSO) bc of Kerry's line when they are in the clinic. Her complaint about Sarah dating Derek "the one good Black guy" - i always felt deeply uncomfortable about this line, I knew there was truth in there about her fears, but like, they'd can't be just two types of Black guys... that felt so dumb. then Sarah says about there being "only one world" well, i knew it wasn't true, but couldn't put my finger on it. Thanks for sharing your POV, and articulatibg what the actual fears are and how white supremacy uphold them. this movie came out my senior year in HS and the characters were my age, so it does have nostalgia but honestly even then I knew she couldn't dance that well (bc I could do those moves and.... I'm not a dancer). this was def one of those movies boomers made bc they thought they'd solved racism in the 60s and it made liberal white ppl feel good about themselves. And you're right, the best thing about this movie is the soundtrack, it still kicks ass. 😊

Step Up, Fame, Honey, Center Stage (especially the sequel), Dirty Dancing Havana Nights, Gotta Kick It Up, etc. Even the Bring It On movies could fall into this category.

Trying to think back at how/why I loved this movie as an 11-16 year old... 🤣 yeah definitely the soundtrack! And sean patrick thomas being a beautiful man 😍 Haven't watched it in over a decade, but definitely enjoyed singing along with Kenny between painful cringe moments 😬 the dancing is a million times worse than I remember 🤣😅

So, I'm a Millennial. I was in 8th grade when this movie came out. We had it on dvd and my cousins and I would watch it at least once a week, no lie. We knew every dance routine. We could recite the movie word for word (I still can). The way this movie will always have a special place in my heart and soul! I know it's cringe. I know it's corny. But it will always be special to me idc idc 😩😩😭😭😭😭 This movie and Center Stage 😩🙌🏾 If your haven't seen Center Stage pleeeeeease watch it, I would love to get your thoughts on it after this movie!

As a white woman who is now grown and has had a lot more education and learned more nuance, I understand why this movie is problematic and why it hasn’t aged well absolutely. But when I was a young pre-teen/teen white girl in a small town who had very little interaction with people who were different than me, this movie did provide me with different perspectives, different ideas of how other people might live (as stereotypical as it was), and that my little world wasn’t all of it, that challenged my thinking in ways that opened me up to learning more as I grew older. I don’t know if that’s value, but that’s part of why I remember it somewhat fondly, in a weird way.

Ahhhh. I saw this in theatre in grade 10. Our school had an electrical fire. It was during first period. So two of my friends and me went to the cinema. We had to wait 2 hours for it to open. As this was the first movie playing... So it was us 3 black teenage girls and an old white man with a cane there. So we laughed real loud and got up and danced at the front of the screen (as you mentioned amazing soundtrack). The old man never said a thing. Then we went about our lives. Haven't thought of it til now! Even then, this movie was absurd, but we kept that between us. Thanks so much for this!😂😂❤

Wow. This brings back memories. I had just turned 13, and my elementary school was starting to install metal detectors because a 5th grader was attacked in the bathroom by a few of the cheerleaders. The girl was taken out on a gurney, the Sheriff was called, it was a mess. We found out she needed 24 stitches, and she never returned to school. A few months later, my Mom pulled me out of school to take care of my cousin's three kiddos so mom wouldn't lose her job. I was 13 and I wanted to dance. I watched this movie daily while the kiddos were napping. When Sarah was frightened by the metal detector I felt that in my soul. 10 years ago when the oldest kiddo had her first baby we watched this together and I was floored at how bad it was. 😂

I think I liked it because of the dancing, and the soundtrack. And because it was a love story where they got togeather before the end, and the third act breakup wasn’t a lie or horrible missunderstanding. As for the dancing, as someone who is not from north america, I remember getting the impression that you needed to know how to dance that spesific style to fit in and be accepted, so he was helping her achive that. It made sense to my 15 year old brain, what did I know of black american culture. It is a hard rewatch as an adult though, even with the nostalgia.

You hit the nail on the head about the main issue(s) about the movie!!! I thought the same thing when I watched it. Most Black woman don't care that black men date White Women, but don't like it when Black men degrade woc to justify dating white. Also, how movies like that often make it too black and white and superficial.

I was in middle school when this movie came out. I didn't see it, but the commercials and ads (and the song in the commercials) were EVERYWHERE and apart of other forms of media. Because of that, finding out that people felt this was a staple of their childhood was not surprising.

Also, this movie was made at a time when Julia Stiles was also EVERYWHERE. That woman loves a modern Shakespeare adaptation and that's what basically all teen movies were back then, even if they technically weren't.

This movie came on my radar because I was dancer when I was younger and you don't need a reason to practice dancing. I would meet with other dancers all the time just to learn new moves, try new styles, watch dance competitions, we had nowhere to go, no competitions to perform at, we just liked to dance. A lot of them did create routines to show off at parties but meeting to just dance was not weird at all. People who aren't dancers won't get it. I understand, but there was nothing weird about them just practicing afterschool. Dancing is a hobby too. People who like to dance meet together and just dance sometimes. It's not weird at all.

I have so many things to say I don't even know where to start! Okay first, the OST was LEGIT! Even just having you sing it is boosting my mood with good memories. Secondly in the UK when Pink first came on the scene, major channels thought she was black LOLZ! I honestly remember thinking the final dance sequence was the best thing ever. Then I grew up and watched it again and was BAFFLED!! Ahh good times!
