Timeless

Rating: 8/10 (25 November 2019)

I wholeheartedly believe that this film and musical will never fade away due to its iconic cultural influence today. Sure, the prevalent character and plot niches are corny and cliched, but these aspectes don't discourage the film at all. The music score, setting, costumes and the casting of characters has been very well done to fit the overall theme and aesthetic of this film.
John Travolta, coming off the Saturday Night Fever hype, performs tremendously, showcasing his prime musical repetoire. He is pretty much the star of the film because everyone, whether they like to admit it or not, wanted to be like Danny Zuko one way or another at some point in their life.
The songs are very catchy and fun, especially 'Greased Lightning' considering the dirty foreplay that is hidden underneath the lyrics! Some other classics include Summer Nights, You're the One That I Want and Hopelessly Devoted to You which showcases the beauty and charisma of Olivia Newton John as she encapsulates the role of good-girl Sandy Olsson.
Overall, there is no doubt Grease will remain a timeless classic whether you're 5, 15, 25 or even in your 60s, this film is for everyone because everyone needs to see it!
