His father rents a room to a young drifter, Carla (Linda Fiorentino). Swain falls in love with her and she helps him stay focused and prevents him from losing sight of his goals. Although a lower-budget film than Flashdance or Top Gun, this movie is similar in theme and style. Madonna makes her first appearance in a major motion picture as a lead singer in a local band performing her hit songs "Crazy For You" and "Gambler". Amazon.com: This film wraps up the big wrestling match that Terry Davis's novel left unresolved. It also makes Carla (Linda Fiorentino, in her screen debut) less of a bad girl. What it does capture is the book's flowing feeling of power and the possibility of youth. Probably best known for presenting a just-emerging Madonna singing "Crazy for You," Vision Quest also uses Matthew Modine nicely. He doesn't typify the usual coming-of-age youth, but his character, Louden Swain, isn't the typical youth, period. Swain needs to win the Washington State wrestling championship, and he's up against a guy who carries logs up stadium steps. He's also involved with an older woman, Carla, and learning that love and all that stuff is much harder than pinning an opponent. Ah, youth. --Keith Simanton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Loved itI loved this movie. I may be prejudice because I am from Spokane where it was filmed. The story is great for a boy determined to prove to himself that he can do what he sets his mind to at all cost. The school sport programs are like that in Spokane to build self confidenance and to challenge their students. Rating: - Best wrestling movie ever (but we all know Chute would have won)This is easily the best wrestling movie ever made, and it will probably never be topped. Louden Swain (Matthew Modine in a role he'll never top) is a high school senior on the wrestling team. By all accounts his life is relatively normal for a rural community. School, work, wrestling practice, friends, and helping around the house are daily occurrences. It is only when he decides to take on the biggest challenge of his young life - with a little inspiration from his best friend masquerading as ... Read More Rating:  - Excellent movieGreat movie. Wish there were more movies out there about wrestling. It is a very dedicated sport. It takes a lot of self sacrafice to maintain where you want to be. Rating: - Awesome wrestling movieVision Quest is a must have for any wrestler or mixed martial artist. It is all about cutting the weight baby. If you ever done it then you can relate to the movie. Great show of determination, will and the desire to be the best. Rating: - Exactly what the item description stated...Arrived very next business day, even though shipping info said it would take 2 business days. Item as described. |
