It was a very 80s movie -- the music, the dance, the way people look in the movie. I have only watched it once, and that was more than 10 years ago when I was a kid going to a primary school in Beijing. I am Chinese and I grew up in Beijing, so I don't know how much my opinions reflect the typical audience. This movie made a very deep impression on me. It was in the late 80s when I watched it, and it, along with other movies, introduced me to American culture. And I was just fascinated. I remember for a while everybody in China was doing breakdancing, partly because of _Flashdance_. I realize it is not a very good movie, but for me this movie brings back memory of the 80s, when my friends and I first learned about American culture, and how we tried to learn everything about America as we grew up.
