Taglines: Grease is the word.

Grease movie storyline. Let’s write with a ‘should I go to Confession: “Grease”, released when I was in high school and one in a long time I’ve walked like John Travolta in the movie, played by Danny Zuko (let’s say I try to walk). Just because I was in the age of being “impressed,” it took me a long time to get over it. Was I complaining, no! It was a fun thing, I just had to put up with people often saying words behind me! My problem wasn’t bigger than the world in.

For the first time in 1971, Warren Casey and Jim Jacobs signed the same name on the screen of the legendary musical “Grease.” The 1978 film, perhaps, does not have ‘deep’ meanings or establishes a structure that highlights the problems of youth, but manages to connect us with kendis iconic ’moves behind its‘ light ’look. Grease, who hosted television-based director Randal Kleiser for the first time in film, uses youth as a aracı tool of relaxation rather than an ‘issue ve and shows that it is possible to say something without going deep from the surface. The film, which has many parameters under its success, makes good use of the lama flash içindeki points within its ‘comfortable’ route and feeds on the great harmony of the cast especially. The fact that many independent actors serve the same purpose is enough to make this film one of the ‘unforgettable, ones, at least in our eyes.

In the late 1950s, the story takes us to the graduation year of a group of senior Rydell High school students. In this story, we witness the meeting of Danny (John Travolta) and Australian Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) at Rydell High School. This love, where youth enthusiasm and some obsessions come to the fore, meets us with a happy ending after many tests. The side characters also contribute to this painting, especially Rizzo (Stockard Channing) and Kenickie (Jeff Conaway). You will understand that everyone is doing their job properly, for the success of this ‘light’ film.

Yes, there is no depth in the story of this film. It can even be said to be too superficial. But there’s no limit to the light emitted by Danny Zuko, especially John Travolta! The actor knows how to chase the masses with his body language and dance skills in ase Grease ”. Olivia Newton-John, perhaps, remains yanında slow yanında with her and a little faint, but after a while we accept Travolta’s performance, which makes every disadvantage advantage.

The actor, who encapsulates all of Danny’s traits, decides to let the audience breathe and teaches a character how to carry an entire film. This can be said to be es by chance, Trav but it is clear that Travolta’s success cannot be explained with such a simple answer. The player has a whole that he owns from the first frame to the last moment, and there is no act to betray this whole actor. On the contrary, he manages to pull up his partner, who can occasionally explain and lower the rhythm. It’s literally tearing up to succeed, and it’s the prize, Travolta.

The superficiality of the film’s approach to youth also supports the ‘fairy-tale’ atmosphere. For example, the story does not focus much on the situation and progress of students in the lessons, but rather focuses on out-of-school activities. John Travolta, with a tone of James Dean, seems to be the ‘cartoonish’ character of Jim Stark in Rebel Without a Cause.

The general atmosphere of the film supports this posture, and all the characters, except Sandy, are caricaturized. The animation opening genre also gives us clues about what we can see in the next minutes. Gib Grease Barry by Bee Gees, written by Barry Gibb and interpreted by Frankie Valli, gives a perfect boost to this image. Let’s add that we see Frankie Valli as an actor in the film’s ‘dream’ scene.

The dance that takes the lead behind the rise of ase Grease ef to the legendary floor takes us away from us. As we pass through the “Greased Lightnin” scene, it becomes difficult for us to get rid of the “You’re The One That I Want” and “We Go Together” effect in the final scenes. The choreography “Born To Hand Jive ındaki in the dance competition takes the bones off and almost enters the field of acrobatics. We stop being interested in the story and lose ourselves in the magic of dance. This effect, which spans the entire film, brings ase Grease ine to the brink of being a very special work, and the Travolta effect becomes the key to crossing the threshold.

Ase Grease kullanan, which uses periodic features as important filmic materials, especially brazilian hair and leather jackets, manages to complement the ‘opposite angles erkek of male and female gaze with a humorous approach. One of the songs at the entrance, Gir Summer Nights ası, reflects the two angles in a playful tone, which in fact points to the overall approach of an entire film. The relationship between Danny and Sandy also supports the duman smoke in my youth ’appearance. This choice shows where the ‘fairy-tale miş story with its feet cut off the ground, which literally cuts off its feet in the final, disappears in the clouds, with Danny and Sandy.
