I don't watch movies or TV so I really don't care. But I did probably watch that movie a couple dozen times when I was younger because my sisters loved it.
I thought it was a lot of fun with some catchy tunes...
Grease at one time was the longest running musical on Broadway. It was incredibly popular. I saw it in a local theater, and then the movie, then I had the album, yes I am a bit old, then the DVD.
I still listen to the DVD from time to time.
It's iconic.
Anyway, stupid.
'Rapey'? Yeah, Danny did what almost all teenaged boys did, he tried to go further than Sandy wanted and she CLOCKED him.
Rizzo was a progressive liberated woman. 'There are worse things, I could do, than go with a boy, or two.'
OK I read part of the article. 'It's too white'. I did notice that the last time I watched. I tried to find black students, and there were a few in the big scenes like the dance and the finale.
Come on, it was 1958. How many integrated schools were there?
There should have been black lead characters?
I can see how that would be crazy looking to young people today.
Rizzo was '**** shamed' for getting pregnant. That was reality then. Still was when I graduated high school.
Sandy turned into a 'Vamp' to land a man, that one is unfair. He turned into a letter wearing jock for her. That was showing how much they loved each other, each was willing to turn into the other.
Great photo they chose to showcase ONJ all 'Vampy'
And, I mean, that was super fun.
'Tell me about it, stud'.
There wasn't a girl in America who didn't want to be her at that moment, and probably not a boy that didn't want to be him.
Rizzo made fun of her for being straight laced. They can't make up their minds. That was reality too.
This song is not from the movie, but I remember 'don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes'.
Teens are damned if they do and damned if they don't. And the movie reflected that. Rizzo went through what she did and Sandy went through what she did.
The cool crowd felt Sandy was lame, and the good girls thought Rizzo was a ****.
When Grease was released in 1978, film censors gave it an A rating, the equivalent of today’s PG, commenting only about some of the near-the-knuckle language.
The film still carries a PG rating with a warning of ‘frequent mild sex references and mild language’.
They'll have to completely redo the rating system to please the new puritans.
