FREE ON YOUTUBE John Travolta - Grease

Back when Grease came into the cinemas, the nostalgia wave of the 50s ran. Today we have "You're The One I Want" by John Travolta and Olivia Newton John Saturday night in our movie art bar Fitzcarraldo (with soap bubbles and DJ Snow) and everyone is freaking out. The nostalgia wave of the 70s disco runs in the middle of the 10s! To avoid misunderstandings; Grease is quite an average musical. Nevertheless we all love it! And that's because of John Travolta! And although Grease isn't his greatest movie, this Disco Musical has charm! And when did Travolta ever come so close to his obvious role model Elvis? And the story? Grease is set somewhere in California. Performance Danny (Travolta). He is a "Greaser" (= leather prolet) and falls in love with the rich Sandy (Olivia Newton-John). The summer ends and they separate forever. Thinking Danny and Sandy. But then they meet again, attend the same high school. There Danny is the hard "Greaser" and Sandy wears candy coloured dresses. The 50s are reconstructed as we remember the 70s today. Idyllic! There are "Hot Rods" and "Malt Shops" and everything looks like in "Rebel Without A Cause". Just much more kitsch, of course. But the only thing that doesn't have to shy away from the difference to the classic musicals of the 50s is Travolta. Ironically, neither he nor the other students look like teenagers. Grease doesn't honestly deal with the feelings of the teenagers whose suffering shakes her and whose crisis of self-esteem crushes her. Unfortunately, Grease can't remember it.
