"Forever
Fever " Dance Movie Review
Article written by : Robin Chee of RpMerleon, June 1998 |
We managed to catch this
locally produce movie "Forever Fever". A simple story, but one which
most dancers can identify with. A young Singaporean man who dreams of buying
a Harley Davidson motorbike. Unfortunately, he is stuck with a dead end job
where money is slow and hard to come buy.
On a chance outing with his group of friends to a movie called "Forever
fever" (which looks like Saturday Night Fever), he first dismisses it as
boring and that dancing is only for effeminate guys. Once he found that there
is a dancing contest with a $5,000 prize money (enough to buy his bike), he
quickly changes his mind and gets his childhood friend to join him at a dance
class.
Discouraged after his first disastrous lesson at learning the 1970s line dances,
he soon gets his second wind and becomes quite an expert (with added inspiration
of a beautiful classmate who he secretly admires). Along the way he dumps his
childhood friend to partner the beautiful classmate and they win the dance contest.
But he discovers that they are from two different worlds and he goes back to
his childhood friend.
Lots of Singlish (A Singaporean
version of English), which probably only Singaporeans can understand. Terms
like "When I dance, I feel really SHIOK" are used. (SHIOK means to
really feel good). A few glitches here and there .. like a Mercedes S Class
in the streets (you won't find those in 1977).
But nevertheless very entertaining and some good disco dancing. The hero's rendition
of John Travolta's solo dance sequence in Saturday Night Fever was really quite
good. If you are a dancer .. don't miss this movie with a bit of dancing, comedy
and romance.
