Grease is a well-known movie/musical that is being revived up to now. I still remember reading pocket books about the usual teenage life having auditions for the musical, Grease. It was really popular and to think a person who was born in the year 1991 knew about this movie which was introduced in the late 70s, or precisely 1978. The time when it was made was the time when my parents were teenagers, and, guess what; my mom watched this movie in theaters together with her girl friends and raved about John Travolta like any normal female would do during that time. But I’d have to say John Travolta was very pleasing to the eyes.
To tell you the truth, I didn’t really see myself watching this movie. I’d have to blame it on High School Musical. No offense to the fans, but its plot was very predictable and I think the reason why it received attention was because of its musical content. In my opinion, Grease soars higher than High School Musical, way higher. When you look at High School Musical, it was no surprise that it was inspired by Grease. Gabriella was based on Sandy’s (Olivia Newton-John) character, the goody-goody person, while Troy was copied off from Danny’s (John Travolta) character, the popular guy. This just shows how great Grease is that up to the present time people are still reviving it.
The movie wasn’t boring; it didn’t have any parts that would’ve forced me to fast forward it. I love the musical scoring; especially the song “Summer Nights”; this film also showcased the musicality of Olivia Newton-John. The development of the characters was seen in the film, even though Sandy and Danny were the main characters, the others were still given significant parts that completed the all-out effect of the film. Even though the plot of the film might be a bit cliché in the end it proved me wrong. Danny, who genuinely tried to change himself for the better, so that Sandy would take him back, joined the Track team at Rydell High while Sandy dressed up as a “greaser”. It gave me a message that in a relationship, the both of you have to make an effort to adjust and to change for the better.
Grease is the word!
