Grease
I recently ventured out of my comfort zone and watched a movie that is
known quite well through-out the world as “Grease.” For those of you who
haven’t gotten the opportunity to watch “Grease,” in the simplest of words I can
give to you is that “Grease” is a musical set in the 50’s about seniors in their
final days of high school and freedom, and how they dealt with love.
“Grease” takes place in the beautiful Venice, California. Although the
release date wasn’t until the year 1978 the time period in the musical was the
50’s, 1959 to be exact. Danny Zuko, leader of the T-Birds, met Sandy Olsen at
the beach over summer break, while she was on vacation from Australia, when
her family ended up staying in the states. They fall in love but, when summer…show more content… Olsen joins the popular group of
girls, also known as the Pink Ladies, who often date the T-Birds. Sandy and
Danny meet again but Danny is not the same. Sandy realizing that Danny is
not the boy she met at the beach but just another tough guy who doesn’t
express how he feels due to his reputation with his friends. Their social
differences continue to keep them apart.
John Travolta was perfect for the part of Danny Zuko, because naturally
Travolta looks like a bad boy. Clearly he was not only chosen just for how well
his looks suited the part but he was a young actor who was willing to play
anything and anyone to the best of his ability to succeed in acting. In the
movie “Grease” Travolta made looking like a bad boy so effortless and easy, it
was something he was born to do, and “Grease” was the perfect musical to
begin his career. Stockard Channing did exceptionally well portraying the part
of Betty Alexander Rizzo, or known by nickname Rizzo. Rizzo is seen as
tough, sarcastic and full of attitude in the beginning, and not all actresses
