Film Appreciation

Rating: Null/10 (31 July 2011)

Saturday Night Fever is an original film that leads the way for other dance and music films in the 80's to present. John Travolta plays the lead role of Tony Manero who doesn't know much about his future but knows that he can dance. Tony Manero lives for Saturday nights at 2001 with music and his friends. There are many themes of this film social problems being one, struggling for human dignity, and youths coming of age. A major theme point of this movie was Tony realizing that he could not remain a young teen forever and would have to get serious about his future since there was not preventing it. Another great movie with some of the same themes is Fame. The editing is superb in this film. The viewer feels apart of every scene, it makes the viewer want to relive their youth or anticipate their youth. The soundtrack to this movie put the viewer right there in 1977, with the bell bottoms, and Farah Faucet hair. This movie is excellent for any youth coming of age or someone that wants to relive their youth and see how far they have come.
