Even as a child, I realised that Sandy was way too good for Danny. He's embarrassed to tell his buddies that he genuinely likes her, and while they both change for each other in the end, her change is definitely more dramatic than his. They probably didn't last long after the movie, to be honest.

Her change is more dramatic than his? Are you joking or just blind? She just had a costume change overnight. He had to attempt several sports and then join a team. To letter, he had to actually train and compete. There's a lot more involved in his transformation than hers.

[@Andreamom001]

He doesn’t really change. He tosses away the track jacket and goes back to just black as soon as he sees she changed. It’s more like “I’m willing to change for her, but yay, I don’t have to! She changed to suit me.” (The clothes symbolize the changes…his is surface and easily tossed aside…hers is entire and permanent…she changes her perspective, personality, behavior…)

The sin about Kenikie not singing the song is actually John Travolta's fault. In the original play he did sing Greased Lightning but Travolta liked the song so much he used his "Star Power" to make them let Danny sing it instead.

[@pattierotondo1108]

He should feel awful about that. Stockard Channing got a solo and Kenikie should have had one too. That was selfish on Travolta's part, thinking he could just take something because he could get away with it. I like him less and less the more I know about the guy. A complete jerk.

[@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci]

Preschool? Good lord. I guess the 70s were an interesting time, still a lot more innocent, in some ways. The first movie in a theatre I ever saw (I think at about age 4) was either Lady and the Tramp or Bambi. I think I must have slept through the scene when his mother is killed, because I have no memory of it. When I saw it again a few years later, what frightened me most was the forest fire. Before I saw Oliver! at age about 9, my parents warned me about the scene in which Bill kills Nancy, so when it happened it didn't come as a shock. When I saw Sound of Music at about the same age, I had no idea what was going on with the Nazis chasing the family. There was dark stuff in all the films we saw, but it was rarely explicit enough to leave a mark on us.

Did she put up a fight doesn’t mean did she put up a physical fight but rather did she initially reject you only to come around.

Funny thing about this movie. Saw it on tv when I was 7. Loved it. So we taped it the next time it was on, and I’d watch that tape when I wanted to watch Grease. I could quote it beginning to end. One of my absolute favorites my entire childhood, teens and early 20’s. Then they put it back in theaters for an anniversary, so I went to see it in the theater…the non edited-for-tv version. For the first time. Holy shit.

It's amazing how much nostalgia glosses over all the problematic bits. This is def a movie I've loved since childhood, but if I saw it the first time today I'd be all manner of "what the fuck???"

[@pattierotondo1108]

Judging earlier periods in time by current standards is the problem. The sexism was obvious in the 1970s too, but we didn't pass judgement on the movie because it was about a different time. Thinking it's okay to discard everything that doesn't conform to what some consider to be "PC" is intolerant and foolish.

My theory on the name "Greasers" is that it's a double play on the word as in grease was/is a term for gelled up hair as they do so they're "greasers" however, a "greaser" is also a name for a car mechanic/handy man specifically with cars and the guys seem to all be in "shop" or "mechanics" or "small engines" class in high-school so it's likely a name passes onto the incoming senior "greasers" that are in that shop class and they had "t-birds" on their jackets as an ode id imagine to the thunderbird (car). Just a guess tho 🤷‍♂️

[@visaman]

This is true, also it's an allusion to Fonzie on Happy Days.

[@jenx5870]

Greasers were a youth subculture - usually poor, and in a motorcycle gang. It came from the term greaseball.

[@kchrules775]

The original stage show (before the movie ever existed) was a love letter to Chicago and the high school Jim Jacobs went to. It was also WAY raunchier, like R rated: There were multiple F-Bombs, Kenickie makes a joke about Rizzo sitting on his face, the opening number is the “VD” song they sing in the car outside of the slumber party, and at the end Patty calls Sandy a “flousie” and she punches Patty in the face giving her a black eye. The original is a much better show, and almost an honest and proud indictment of how highschool life was at the time. The movie and subsequent revivals based off miss the mark, hard.

So, to clarify the ones I like are the 75 version and the Disney 1995 version which as I can see now are Escape to Witch Mountain and Return To Witch Mountain respectively according to the old faded jacket art I have here

Side note. As a kid I had this VHS movie where a team go into space and and end up landing on a dinosaur planet. All the dinosaurs are claymation and I think someone gets impaled by a triceratops. Anyone know the name of that movie?

Well it isn't like it was dirty enough to get an R rating. You had G, PG, R, and X. It wasn't until later that PG-13 was added and X was replaced by NC-17.

The song you call "Alone at a Drive-In" is actually called "Sandy." The first line is "Stranded at the drive-in, branded as a fool." There is a song from "Grease" called "Alone at a Drive-In Movie," but it's an instrumental. Thank you for not destroying Olivia Newton-John. She wasn't a great actress, but she was an amazing person.

@@jayewherner7435 the entire time, Danny is dismissing the blonde chick and the amount of references/jokes to "forcing" themselves onto women is disgusting.

[@IntriguedLioness]

*I'm clicking on this even though I know the songs will now be in my head ALL DAY!*

[@PlayfulFruitLPer]

A lot of these sins are because you're not being observant (a yikes for a movie critic) Danny was shy about conveying his actual feelings for Sandy IN PUBLIC. Because they don't align with his care-free cool guy image. Sandy on the other hand, needed to loosen up and have a bit more fun as we see in the slumber party scene. Danny needs to grow up, and Sandy needs to let loose. By the end they both realize they need to change in order to work for one another, which Sandy shows in an extreme way at the end while Danny works at it through the movie. Obviously she's not going to keep the makeover, it was to show Danny she's willing to change too.

Two missed sins: Before the Beauty School Dropout song, the waitress tries to turn the lights off with her elbow, completely misses the switch (by an embarrassingly large distance), but the lights still turn off. And during We Go Together, when all of the "kids" are on the grass part of the fairgrounds, Frenchie and a few others hit their knees, then the camera angle switches and Frenchie and the guy next to her have switched places.

The director explicitly stated the movie was sexual. If you look you will see innuendos everywhere. Sandy was told by most of the characters that’s she is too snobbish/ prudish, etc. what she did in the end was meant as a grand gesture. Danny is wearing athletic sweater ( not jacket). Sweater is more “nerdy.” Interning how people think his transformation is less extreme. He became something he is not. It was meant to be mutual.

[@bethanychatman9531]

Wooooow a sweater, she changed way more than he did. And neither should have changed for the either, compromise on certain situations is one thing, but basically changing your personality is another. Someone changing because there decisions to be a giant dick to them by saying you like them and then hiding that person from his friends because they're ashamed to be seen with them, is wow.

@@bethanychatman9531 Danny’s change took the course of the entire movie stumbling the entire way. All that we see in Sandy is a grand gesture at the very end of the movie. How you can surmise that her change is greater with virtually no info other than her clothing is beyond me? I’m f you listen to the lyrics of the song you’ll get a hint of what she expects a man not a boy. She is not conveying I’m going to be a slut. It’s time for you grow up and be my man. The change Sandy was that she is no longer go to be the shy girl but a woman with demands that must be met. The sweater is a metaphor. Her outfit is a metaphor. The change was in their attitude and the song reveals that change.

@@bethanychatman9531 Welcome to the world of love, "teens", peer pressure and *actual growth* for characters. Danny learned to not take peer pressure serious and to actually go after what he wants. Sandy learned that you don't have to follow society's roles and also go for what you want. The changes in dress at the end was to materialize the clear change they've both gone through.
