Best English Homework every for a Pink Lady :-P

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2006)

Grease is my favorite movie ever; it's awesome to the max and beyond. This 1978 musical play turned movie could make anyone want to go back to the times of Thunderbirds and the Hand-jive. It makes Rydell High come alive, and the audience feeling like a pink lady or T-bird.
This movie is set in Rydell High School, in the 1950s and follows two groups of friends through their senior year. It's a love story, a musical, and a comedy, rolled into one. It's main characters, Danny and Sandy, struggle with the pressures of their peers while trying to pursue a relationship, despite their very different social groups. It's a classic story of love and peer pressure in a 1950's high school world.
I will judge this movie on the following criteria. The first thing I will judge this movie on is, the storyline/plot. The next point this movie will be judged on is, trueness to the era. I will also be judging on entertainment value, and musical quality.
The storyline/plot was very believable and fun to follow. You could really understand why each character reacted to decisions of the others the way they did, and rooted for the Danny/Sandy relationship to work out. They were very true to the era, having each song, even in the background (like from the jukebox in the dinner), and the movies at the drive-in, from the right dates. They even had simple little things that could apply to any time, like teenagers drinking and smoking. This was a very entertaining movie and could be watched for years to come without losing any of that value since the main concepts are relevant to any time period.Each song in this movie is catchy and easy to remember the words to; therefore making the movie even more enjoyable each time you watch it.
Basically, everyone in the world should see this movie and love it. Then they should all work together to make a time machine and go back to Rydell High, so we can all enjoy the carnival and drive off in the very hot flying car at the end. Also, we could all learn the same dance and enjoy the sounds of Sha Na Na (as Johnny Casino and the Gamblers).
