John Travolta was such a magnetic
sweetheart here who was clad in a 1950’s leather hood, projecting the bad boy
image together with his T-birds gang. The film was based on a musical play of
the same name about high school lovers and their fun youth adventures in Rydell
High.
The stage play and the movie that
The music and
choreography were really fascinating that small wonder its soundtrack album had
become a best-selling album then. And until now, people do still remember and appreciate
the music whenever they hear it especially those that really made a big sensation
to the public such as “Hopelessly Devoted”, “You’re all that I want” and the “Summer
Nights” which all serve us a timeless feel-good sentiment. I, myself admit that I’m becoming hopeless romantic like a 17 year old whenever I am hearing
any of these songs. Grease was such a hip romantic-comedy musical that it would revive the young hope, love and admiration in you.
Though the movie was set in the era
of my grandfather, I can’t help but be willfully immersed to their world and
conceive the thought of how wonderful would it have been to live and be born on
their times. Well, I love my own generation but there’s really something on the
past decades that I’m really fond of – maybe for the reason that their
atmosphere and cultures breathed the air of simplicity, amiable oddity, and the
budding transformation from the all-too conservative customs to the
already-starting to liberate society. And also, I’m just so really fond of
their style of fashion, music and dances -- a combination of simplicity and
variation that have become influential, likeable, and an intangible part of the
fad cycle.
John Travolta and Olivia
Newton-John made a perfect chemistry together. The ever-energetic,
suave moving John Travolta fitted suitably to the role of a bad buy while
Olivia justified the role of a young and conservative high school girl. And the
transformation she
showed at the latter part of the movie was really awesome
and marvelous -- that part where they sung the “You’re all the I want” where they
both (John and Olivia) did a splendid show together with the rest of their
gangs.
Another thing that I really loved
about this movie was the natural humor. They were all so effortlessly effective in
throwing the lines, giving away the reaction, and tickling the audiences to
send them bursting into laughter and delight. I’m pretty sure that even if you’d long left the high school, you would still be pleased by this comical yet
romantic musical film. This is a good movie to watch along with your friends
for an idea of happy bonding.
One great way of enjoying life to
fullest is to squat on the living room’s floor with coffee and some sweets on
the table, with the lights off and with Grease movie playing on your screen. I
would give up my addiction to coffee if you didn’t find yourself swaying your head
and laughing your heart out on this fantastic movie.
For this wonderful feel-good movie
that is included in my list of best favorite musical films, I will rate it with
