Grease: Movie
The movie Grease was produced in the year 1978. The name of the movie, Grease, doesn’t come off as a singing movie with people dancing. The movie is based on two people who fell in love over summer break. They never would have imagined that they would be going to school together when school started back in the fall. Not knowing that they went to school together, Sandy a Australian transfer who later became a member of the Pink Lady‘s. “Danny(John Travolta) is the coolest greaser at Rydell High, and a member of the T-Birds.” (Davis). They found each other and started to hang out again. Danny acting hard around Sandy and pushed her away. This is where all of the excitement went on in the movie. This movie is my favorite movie of all times. I would have loved to be in this movie or just have it happen in real life. Sandy reminds me of myself so much. She is a very shy girl until the end of the movie. I am a shy person until I get to know people also. Sandy lets Danny bring out her wild side that she would only do because she loves him. Danny tries to impress Sandy by trying out for the baseball and basketball team. He wasn’t good at sports at all but he was doing it for Sandy in the end. I can relate to some of the other characters as well. The movie has real life encounters that make the movie so much better. All of the characters had different personalities but one stood out that no one could forget. “Blame the producers for deceiving the audience or credit Rosie O'Donnell's agent for pushing hard, but O'Donnell gets biggest billing for the secondary role of Betty Rizzo, tough girl with a heart of gold“ (Everett). I love how everyone sticks together no matter what. Whenever they was having the race against the other club, they was all their for Danny. They cheered him on to help him win the race. Also whenever Franzz thought she was pregnant they was there for her to support her. She was worried about what people would think about her if she was pregnant.

    The movie was great because how they acted their roles were exceptional. Honestly, the roles given to them are really hard because they will handle all the emotional and physical challenges of their roles. You really need a good actors to be able to act it out, and so they did. It was so moving, since you are able to see hopeless people who as much as possible keep their selves positive and enthusiastic in life. It is directed by Penny Marshall, the film was produced by…

    “Grease”, originally a musical play write in 1971, was brought to the big screen in 1978 by producers Robert Stigwood and Allen Carr. Set to reflect the 1950’s era, “Grease” explores real life situations that several high school students during this time period were faced with – developing relationships, teen pregnancy, bullying, and peer pressure, drinking and gang violence. The use of unrealistic song and dance outbursts to portray the character’s emotions and views of life was a way to add comedic relief to real life situations. The characters included Danny, played by John Travolta, Kenickie, Leo, Doddy, Eugene, Rizzo, Frency, Marty and Sandy, played by Oliva Newton-John. Identifiable by the logos and colors of their jackets, each teenager…

    'Grease' is a musical comedy and therefore has lively and happy music most of the time. The lyrics in some of the songs even add to the storyline and play a big part in the film. 'The Outsiders' on the other hand has little music. It is not a significant part of the movie. You will occasionally hear popular music from the 60's era, which is the time this movie is based. 'Grease' also has popular music from the 60's as it is also based throughout this time. However; it also has music written and composed especially for this film. Even though music is not a big part of 'The Outsiders', some forms of sound can be. In the movie Ponyboys parents died in a train accident, so every time something dramatic happens, we hear a train whistle to inform us that something important is about to happen or has happened.…

    Troy Baker as Joel and Ashley Johnson as Ellie both do a great job with their characters and effortlessly create an emotional bond with players. Joel is a very interesting character as he is not your typical action hero who selflessly does everything for everyone else with no thought for his own wellbeing. The man has been through hell and back so he does not shy away from violence if it is necessary. If you have ever been frustrated with action heroes who spares everyone's lives no matter what they did to him you will like Joel. He might try to keep Ellie at a distance because of how he lost his daughter, but once they begin to bond his protective instincts really kicks in. All I can say is that there are some truly heart wrenching scenes, especially if you have children of your own. I don't think the emotional impact would have been as good if the two actors didn't do such a fantastic job with the voice-overs. The music by Gustavo Santaolalla is also really good and it is great that he shied away from the typical horror type soundtrack one would…
