I think they all did, they focused on Raul Garcia because he was an emotive actor. The others too, Doris, The Ballet Dancer, The gay best friend, you name it, Leroy learning to read under the 125th walking bridge with trash barrels lit... that's the great part about "The Body Electric" at the end.

Saw a production of Fame at my old highschool yesterday. My sister was in it. I was not fully onboard with it until this scene.

Alan Parker's "Fame" (1980) was recently inducted into the Library Of Congress in 2024 as "an artistically and culturally important" film. Nominated for six Academy Awards and winner of two Oscars, the core of the film centers around the character of Raul Garcia, a gifted and troubled young Hispanic teenager from the South Bronx ghetto aspiring to be a stand-up comedian, and going into the same downward spiral as his fallen idol Freddie Prinze. It was essentially a fictionalized portrait of the then-recent Prinze tragedy, and it remains to this day a still-applicable and undimmed cautionary tale about Hollywood, the young, and the dark underside of "The American Dream". This particular scene, an exceptionally raw and powerfully acted monologue for such a mainstream and commercial Hollywood film even by today's standards, let alone in its own time, was almost entirely cut out due to legal issues around Prinze's death being publicly labeled a suicide. Studio executives were also understandably nervous about its statement against Big Business, Hollywood, organized religion, and God. It was heavily censored when the film was broadcast on network television, and in the days before cable, VHS, DVD's, KZbin, and streaming. Here is the "artistically and culturally important" substance that made the original "Fame" of 1980 the impactful and enduring classic that it was and still is, and is mistakenly if not deliberately misremembered today as being nothing more than a fun and nostalgically airy musical of sparkling sweetness, innocence, and light. Not.
