read my comment for my summary on this movie

Rating: Null/10 (10 May 2006)

Everyone has a different set of morals. Some people base their morals on their religion while others base theirs on their own personal beliefs. Within the movie Dirty Dancing, directed by Emile Ardolino in 1987, there are a few different situations that can be considered morally wrong depending on the person watching it and their views.
Within this movie one of the main characters, Penny Johnson, becomes pregnant with one of the other employees baby. This can bring up an argument about sex before marriage and if it is considered right or wrong. Religious people would argue that it goes against the church and their religion and is morally wrong. Other people might consider it a common thing that happens between young people and it isn't so bad. Penny decided that the only thing for her to do is to abort the baby. The idea of abortion is very controversial. You don't have to be religious to have a view on this. Many people argue that it is murder while others say that a woman as the right to do what she wants to her body. This is a very big moral debate that goes on.
The dancing in general is also very controversial. The title of this movie contains the word "dirty." This is the description of how the two main characters, Baby and Johnny, are dancing as well as the other young kids. This dancing is very close and there are a lot of hands on activity taking place or groping. At times it is very sexual and this creates a lot of discussion between people about if it is moral correct of not to dance in this manner.
Dirty Dancing is an amazing movie that tells a beautiful story about two kids dancing and falling in love. There are different situations that people argue about trying to decide is it is morally right to have in a movie. But this controversy doesn't take away from how enjoyable the movie is to all of its viewers.
