#GREASE LIGHTNING CAST 1978 MOVIE#
Although, if I had to critic one thing about this movie it would be the age of the actors. The complicated dance moves he performs elevate the movie to grandeur. Grease has also become a huge success partially because of John Travolta’s leading role. Likewise, because the movie is so relatable you find yourself rooting for the characters and their relationships. Every character has such a unique personality that you are bound to see yourself in one of them. Grease not only talks about puppy love but also about sexuality and teen pregnancy. Moreover, the movie is relatable to most teens. To settle the rivalry Danny and Leo (Scorpios gang leader) have a race. Additionally, Grease also appeals to action lovers, during the movie there is a gang rivalry between the T-birds and the Scorpios. The juxtaposition of the scenes advances the plot while keeping the watcher entertained. This scene is not only clever, but much needed because moments before Danny is pulled away from Sandy leaving her confused and heartbroken. For example, at the televised school prom the three t-bird members moon the cameras while the track “Blue Moon” plays in the background. Characters like Sonny, Putzie and Doody (t-bird members) provide comedic relief when needed. Categorized as comedy musical/teen film, Grease reaches larger audiences than most movies. Grease has been seen as one of the greatest musical based movies by fans and critics for good reason. This starts Danny’s journey to win Sandy back while he also struggles to keep his bad boy image. Once they meet he tries to brush her off to impress his friends making Sandy run off in tears. Since Sandy has befriended girls close to the T-birds news travels and her new friends introduce her to Danny again. The Pink Ladies are the female counterpart to Danny’s gang, the T-birds. Not knowing that each other goes to the same school Sandy befriends the Pink Ladies. As summer ends and class begins at Rydell high school, Sandy does not go back to her country, she coincidently, starts school at the same one Danny attends. To compliment the 50’s greaser vibe of this movie, Director Randal Kleiser and screenwriters, Bronte Woodard and Allan Carr, revolve the movie around the T-birds, Pink Ladies and later Scorpios, all local gangs.
Clearly, Danny refers to his summer romance not ending, but also to the beginning of the movie, this jump cut effortlessly introduces the movie, leaving the watcher anticipating what is to come. The play on words recited by John Travolta at the end of the beach scene was a clever way to start the movie. Consequently, this scene immediately jumps into the opening credits and upbeat music. Danny reassures her that that summer will not be the end of their relationship, but that its just the beginning. Near the end of that scene, Sandy, an Australian teenager, tells Danny with great disappointment that she will be going back to Australia as summer ends. Tracks like “Summer Loving” and “Hopelessly Devoted to You” help set the mood of the movie as we see a teenage love story unwind amongst drama and rivalry. Set in a the 50’s, the movie’s first scene shows its two main characters Sandy Olsen (played by Olivia Newton-John) and Danny Zuko (played by John Travolta) on a beach date. This iconic musical turned movie, opens up with upbeat music by Franki Valli, music that many consider the soundtrack to their childhood. The entire movie was a drowning woman’s coma fantasy.ĭon't worry though, it was just a theory and the musical's co-creator actually came forth to shoot it down - proclaiming that whoever came up with it "must have been on acid.With the recent broadcasting of Grease: Live, the 1970’s classic Grease has been all the talk. The visions get increasingly outlandish as time passes, until finally, as Danny desperately tries to resuscitate her on the beach, she sees herself flying into Heaven in her dying moments. As she drowned, her brain deprived of oxygen, she had a vivid coma fantasy involving her summer fling Danny, where they shared a magical year of high school together. Sandy actually did drown on the beach that day. It goes back to the beginning of the story, when Danny saved her from drowning on a beach: A fan came up with the idea that this capper to the dreamlike story actually shows us Sandy's death. As you may recall, Sandy and Danny get into a red convertible and drive off - into the sky, waving at their classmates down below. A couple of years ago, a fan theory about Grease's weird ending burned up the internet for a time.
