"Grease" will melt today's Snowflakes...

Rating: 7/10 (24 January 2020)

I was just 11 years old when I saw this at the cinema for the first time with my family & I absolutely ADORED IT! Kids in my school where all into the Grease fashions & we would practice the Grease dances in the school yard at break time....Oh how times have changed! I often wonder why this classic, fun film is never re-run on TV anymore (I am in the UK) as it hasen't been since the early 80's & the simple answer is that it is not "progessive" & shows a time the socialist elite like to call "past mythical nostalgia" which may upset "global citizenship" neoliberal state education, so I must add a word of warning to our gentle youth. Grease is not for the PC minded, diversity, inclusive, female empowerment brigade & who will find Grease's primary message of "girl must dress up like a tart to get her man" will be decidedly disturbing!
Yet for those of us who can remember a time of fun, entertainment, enjoyment & free thinking, Grease is & will remain a sublme, exquisite peice of entertaining JOY! A down to earth age old tale of boy meets girl with excellent song & dance numbers which may still be played today. There is no underlying message or agenda in Grease as it is simply a movie to put a smile on you face, sing a long to the tunes & tap your feet. If your having a bad day & want to unwind, THIS is the film that will help. Grease was a movie made in a much simpler time & Grease is one of the best "feel good" movies ever made!
