On Grease

I would like to note a couple of things about this classic movie.

1. It is very close to my heart since it is about a girl who everyone considers a prude, who may in fact be a prude in comparison to everyone else, who gets her dream guy.

2. There is lots of goofy dancing done with incredible gusto and also lots of high ponytails.

3. Many have criticized the movie's apparent chauvinist tone since Sandy "wins" in the end only after she completely changes herself from the sweet innocent Sandra Dee to the smokin' hot sex pistol in black leather/spandex...basically the female equivalent of Danny (hello...John Travolta). BUT, what is forgotten in these criticisms is that Danny and Sandy BOTH change themselves to win over eachother. Danny shows up to meet Sandy wearing a letterman's jacket instead of his usual greased up leather and tells his friends that he cares about them, but he cares about Sandy more so he is going to become a jock so that she will take him back. The point is NOT that Sandy had to change herself in order to produce the fairytale ending, the point is that they were meant to be and proof of that was them both being willing to change for the other.

4. I've never thought John Travolta was hot.

5. Summer Lovin' was one of my first favorite songs ever. Right behind Build Me Up, Buttercup and the listen to the rhythm of the pouring rain one.
