What? Did you hear the song: you got me burning? I think it was awesome!
shareI have the soundtrack and I think it’s a great song and an absolutely great scene.
shareDon’t think that was disco, disco was pretty much gone by 1984
shareNot my kind of music either but I do like it for reminding me of a time I wasn't alive for. I was born in 1986 so I wasn't alive for most of the 80s.
shareEnergetic, melodic, wonderful music that only the eighties could create - of course modern soulless mongoloids are going to hate it. I especially love the 'reverb effect' that emphasizes and underlines the intensity of the scene SO beautifully, it's ingenious, you don't see or hear things like that in movies anymore.
It's like everyone hates colors now and everything has to be dark, grey, gloomy, colorless sludge, when in the eighties, people actually even WORE colors (who would've thought, eh)... look at people's clothes now. Anyone wearing fully black clothing is considered 'normal', but in 1980s, they would've been considered extremely depressed, suicidal, freak or some kind of heavy metal fanatic.
This movie's soundtrack is great, the songs are SO deeply atmospheric, I don't think modern people could ever understand without doing some kind of psychedelic drug that would open up the chakras they closed years ago..
As someone once said, people can be made to think even the.. wait, let me get the exact quote.
"By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise."
This has, indeed, happened. What used to be paradise is hated and despised now, and what's actually horrbile, is worshipped as normal or wonderful.
It's horrible to read these comments, as they tell more about what has happened to people since the eighties than I care to know.. a very sad state of affairs.
total mongoloids.
shareOne of my favourite scenes. There's a bit in it where the music playing at the disco and the ambient soundtrack mesh for a moment. It's right where Kyle Reese and Sarah Conner lock eyes across the dancefloor. Full body goosebumps.
Burning in the 3rd Degree is a pretty catchy song, too.
The scene in the book is far better tbh.
