Ghoulumbe Better than most people think
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
justin-fencsak When Grease first came out on the same day as Jaws 2 nearly 40 years ago, it broke records for a big budget musical on opening weekend at the box office yet it landed in 2nd place to the shark sequel. Luckily, Grease went on to become the most profitable film of that year and became the most popular musical film of all time, a record that it broke from Sound of Music which has been broken by Chicago (Oscar winner for best picture), and Disney's live action remake of Beauty and the Beast. A sequel was soon comissioned in 1982, and sadly it didn't do well as it was released on the same day as E.T. That year, Grease would come out on home video for the first time, with some minor changes from the theatrical release. In 1998, the film was reissued in a heavily remixed and digitally restored 35mm print to moderate success. It was also the first time that the movie was on DVD and then Blu-Ray. Thankfully this year, Paramount has gone back to the original 35mm negatives and the 70mm six track 4.2 audio to create the definitve Grease experience, which is now available on Itunes as well as DVD, Bluray, and 4k bluray. As for the movie itself, it's a classic. Based on a musical that ran on broadway and continued to run even when the movie was still in theatres, this movie tells the love story of two high school lovers in 1950s america. Both Olivia Newton John and John Travolta shine as well as Didi Cohn and others. Even though the movie is rated PG it's more aimed at teens than kids.
Clinton Yuen This movie strikes a cord to all because of its universal theme. it reminds us of the adolescent days of middle and high school when life was like a sitcom world with our friends and classmates. It was life before the matrix world when all were equal economically and infatuation flourished with the opposite sex. The pranks, slumber parties, drag racing matches, and the intermixing of subgroups of greasers, pink ladies, nurds, good boys and girls, jocks, and teacher's pet types were all part of the ongoing effort to, ironically, define one's self. The finally carnival scene captured the enthusiasm of a sad but understandable parting of that world for seniors when one, from here on out, would get in character each day with a work face and demeanor for the adult world of the stage.
Bella I've been in love with this movie ever since the first time that I saw it over a decade ago. It was a great classic then, and it's still a great classic now. I have all of these songs on my Spotify playlist and for good reason as they never get old. The first song and Greased Lightning are my favorite songs of the show, but it is a hard choice since all of the songs are amazing.This movie just makes me happy every time I watch it. I love the beginning scene with Danny and Sandy on the beach. I love how Sandy is introduced to the pink ladies. I love the ending of the movie and I love the sense of humor in the show. Sonny, Frenchy, and Rizzo are amazing ing characters. No matter how sad I am- this movie puts a smile on my face. If you like musicals and romance movies, you are in for a treat.
Kirpianuscus it could be the best motif to see Grease. a so familiar song is the right invitation to discover a legendary musical. the second - Sandy and Danny couple. who remains inspired image of the high school love story. but Grease is more than a nice film. or, only, a legendary one. it is example of smart story, wise use of clichés and irable music. and this is the start point. for see one of the most fresh films. because it preserves the spirit of a period. and reflects the feelings of an unique age. because it is a film about vulnerability, courage, entertainment and joy. a story. who seems be perfect.
