Grease

Rating: 7/10 (22 October 2013)

"You're the one that I want, ouh ouh ouh" who doesn't know this famous song? Eventually it is one of the best songs of the seventies that we can find in the oustanding musical movie : Grease.
Directed by Jim Jacobs, the famous movie was released on 1978 but it is based on a play dating from 1971. The leading actors in this film are John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.
The story is about two young people in a High School. It is a love story between a girl coming from a rich background and a boy who is the leader of a school gang.
All the film is rhythmed by lively musics and dances. The subject is entertaining but the end is too predictable there is no real suspense. It isn't a gripping movie but it is rather a girlish movie.
Today Grease is a reference movie. There were a lot of adaptations in musicals and we can still listen some of the famous songs on the radio or in parties.
Even if it is not a sensible movie, we recommend you to see it for your musical culture.
