    Sandy was originally supposed to only be from a different state but Olivia couldn’t do an American accent the way they wanted so they made her Australian so she wouldn’t have to fake an accent.

      To be fair, most of the actors were in their twenties and thirties. I've read Heathers (1988) had lots of actors in their late thirties playing high school kids, but at least the lead herself was sixteen, one of the other girls was seventeen and the love interest/antagonist was nineteen. Most of the other leads were in their early twenties, while this movie had leads who were at least ten years too old for senior year (even John Travolta was in his mid-twenties).

    I adore Grease, but looking at it objectively, it's a really, really weird movie. There's not much story structure to it. Things just happen without setups and payoffs, and a lot of it feels like it's happening just because the filmmakers said, "Why not?" I grew up with this ever since I was 5 (yeah, as a 5 year old, most of this movie went over my head...), so it's easy for me to take the randomness at face value, but I totally get why this would be strange for someone watching it initially as an adult. I got a kick out of how many times you burst out laughing and said, "What are they doing?!" I think that just about sums Grease as an experience.

      People just doing things is how things happened before everyone was absorbed into the internet lol. Regarding your comment about "no structure", have you ever heard the theory that the whole movie is Sandy dying at the beach? Danny sings, "she nearly drowned," but if she had actually, this could all be her dying brain making up a fantastic love story that ends w them driving a car into the sky... and would explain the odd lack of form otherwise.

      At the time, this movie was one of the first to talk about teenagers & sex. The entire plot is about each character & every song coming of age with sex. Rizzo talks about her sex life & owns it. They mock virginity thru Sandra Dee & Doris Day & ultimately Sandy changes her look to accept Danny as he is & he wears the letterman to show that he’ll change for her. Everything is about teens & sex. It set the precedent for future movies & teen issues.

    I really love this movie, and the ending gets me everytime. After everything they went through together, they both decided to change for each other. They obviously love each other, but had parts of themselves that didn't match with each other, and in the end both decided the best way to fix that is by changing themselves.
    For me, the first time I watched it, I realized that they were both trying to that. Danny went and earned that letterman jacket in track for Sandy, and she got for that makeover for him, and even started acting like a "greaser".

    I always thought that it was weird for Sandy to dress like a biker chick at the end. But after rewatching it when I was older, I realized that the movie was simply trying to portray the importance of acceptance and camaraderie in a relationship. It's like, if someone is willing to try to adjust their lifestyle for you, it's only fair to try for them too.
    Danny literally looked like a bad boy, but he'd never done anything remotely cruel throughout the movie. He sticks up for his pals and gets worked up over girls, just like other teen boys do.
    I have it in my headcannon that MWF Sandy and Danny dress up like rockstars and TThS they're at wholesome family get-togethers. 🙂

    Stockard Channing had auditioned to play Lois Lane in Superman in 1977 and lost out to Margot Kidder. She allegedly was the runner-up and very nearly got the part (her test is on RUclips and its quite good), but losing out freed her up to be Betty Rizzo in Grease, which was almost as big of a hit as Superman for 1978. Interestingly, Margot Kidder herself said she would have cast Stockard had she been given the choice.

      Stockard could have pulled off the tough reporter side of Lois and her scenes with Clark Kent, but how she would have played opposite Superman I dunno. Margot Kidder projected this sense of wonderment and this girlish timidity with the hero himself that was very endearing. We see here that Stockard COULD project vulnerability as she does in the "Worse Things I Could Do" scene but I don't think it would have been the same

    17:51 I feel kinda sorry for Jeff Conaway. He was in the original 1972 Broadway cast of _Grease,_ as an understudy to several roles including the lead, Danny Zuko, and eventually succeeded the role-originator. He played Zuko for 2 1/2 years while his friend, a then unknown John Travolta later joined the show, playing a supporting role. When this film was made, Travolta (now a star) was cast as Zuko and Conaway as his buddy Kenickie. Worse than that, in the stage show this is Kenickie's big song, but in the film it's given to Travolta (as if he didn't have enough to do). 😞

    Pretty much the two lessons learned from this musical is that if you truly someone you should always be yourself. As well as if you want to be noticed by someone you love you have to stand out of your comfort zone. If you really love John Travolta, I highly recommend Hairspray (2007) and Urban Cowboy. The story of Grease takes place in the 50s. Back then the most fun that a teenager could have without adults would either go to a diner, go to a school dance, drive-in, or making it in the secluded area in the car. And also greasers were like the bad boys and girls like the pink ladies were the bad girls so they usually always slacking off or being regular teenagers. Also Greasers would grease their hair and comb it in the style of Elvis Presley who is a big icon in the 50s. 🚘

I think they _tried_ to make it work by casting people who look 40+ years old as all the faculty, but it's still rough to suspend my disbelief.

    i remember my mom making me watch this as a kid. we were going to go see the stage production and she was real big on me watching movies of things first or reading the books, etc. of whatever i was going to see. i remember hating this movie so, so much. i hated that she had to change for danny. now, as an adult, i am so fond of this movie and realize that he was changing for her as well. they were both trying to fit into each other's worlds and really did value one another. even the lyrics at the end, she's setting him straight and telling him he needs to step up. i also love rizzo and kinnickey a lot. i am always so fascinated by them when i watch this movie and wish they had a whole movie to themselves as well. i've always wanted to unpack those characters. also i don't think anyone was really outright cruel. i've been the girl made fun of at the slumber parties. i don't see rizzo as a bully at all. i do kind of wish that instead of that ending scene with the cream pie, they kind of high-fived him and hyped him up instead but alas, such was the times. still i really enjoy this movie so much and it's so interesting to think about my first watch-through vs. now.

    not set in Grease. Grease in this case refers to the Grease used to slick hair or maybe the Grease used to help the car run. 1950s gang punks were often referred to as Greasers because of there Greasey hair.
    also this was a required movie for my school's music class as we always had to learn the play and perform it.
    it was also performed in an episode of "Homer Improvement"
    the inspiration for "American Grafiti" and "Happy Days"
    and had one sequel

    Oh, I'm excited for this. Not one of my favorite musicals, but I still really enjoy it, saw it live once--and got to say hi to Sandy, Danny, Rizzo and Kenickie (apologies if misspelled)--and You're the One That I Want and Summer Nights are some of my favorite songs of all time, and I even own the soundtrack. I also love these characters, am 100% Team Sandy and Danny, and me and Sandy are pretty similar in terms of being shy and innocent. Can't wait to watch your reaction. 😍
    Also, on a side note, but apart from Greece--as in the place--not being spelled like Grease, as in with food, but John Travolta was also in Hairspray (2007) as Tracy's mother, Edna. Would love it if you checked that out if you haven't already, as well as Annie (2014). Some of my favorite movies of all time. 😍😍😍

    Lots of great history in Grease. Olivia Newton John is a famous Aussie singer and paired up with Travolta again in the bomb Two of a Kind. She was also in the cult classic musical Xanadu. She has been through breast cancer a number of times. Rizzo(Stockard Channing) is an Emmy winning tv star,film, and Broadway performer. Marty from the Pink Ladies was in the original Child’s Play and tv plus her mom is Oscar winner Lee Grant. The Principal Eve Arden was in many films like All about Eve with Bette Davis. Jeff Conway(Kinicy) was in the tv series Taxi and suffered from an addiction to prescription meds after injuring himself on set during Greased Lightening. The geek Eugene sadly has had legal trouble with stalking,burglary,and trespass. The jock Lorenzo Lamas daughter was on The Bachelor although she ended up marrying someone else in real life. He did mostly made for streaming/direct to video and tv. Frankie Valli(Beauty School Dropout) is the lead singer of The Four Seasons. Sha-Na-Na is a real band! Sadly the guy who lost the car race in the dark car was closeted in Hollywood and later died of AIDS related illness. John Travolta’s sister has a bit role as a waitress with dark hair watching tv from the diner. Doris Day/Sandra Dee were famous movie actresses. For a different side of ONJ, check out her RUclips video Physical. #Fun Sid Caesar the coach was in many tv productions,films,and has writing credits. The nurse played by Fannie Flagg wrote the book based on the film Fried Green Tomatoes with Kathy Bates. The “National Bandstand” is supposed to be based on Dick Clark’s “American Bandstand” and changed it for legal reasons. The joke in MAD Magazine was in order to keep Danny Sandy had to become and dress like like a tart! Lol There is also a theory that Sandy is dying the whole movie and in the end goes to Heaven and everything between is fantasy. Thoughts?

    Isn't there some theory out there that the end scene with the car flying signifies that it was a dream and that Sandy actually drowned in the beginning and that its Danny fantasizing about a life with her if he hadn't failed to save her? I can't remember where I read it but it was trippy

    I like how realistic the girls night is when they all spend the night together.
    I'm an 80's baby, so this came out some years before I was born.
    But this was one my late mothers favotire musicals and she was 25 years old when this movie came out.
    And I'm a bit of an old soul and a huge movie fanatic with both new movies and very very old films.
    Of course I do love alot of 80's and 90's films and music cause that was the Era I grew up around and was exposed too.
    But I loved the 2000's as well.
    But also old classic movies like Gone With the Wind, Cat on a Hot Tin roof, It happened One Night, The Shop around the Corner, and so many others but when it came to musicals I was more partial to the older musicals like Wizard of Oz, Oklahoma and 7 Brides for 7 brothers which are my top favorite musicals then it would be Sound of Music and then Grease for me.
    I never even watched much of High School Musical or Hairspray, what little I saw I did not care for and got bored with fast. Because I just think older musicals are better and some of the acting today in musicals is not always so great or believable as it was in the older days.
    I cannot STAND IT when I watch a movie and I feel like the actor is overacting or coming off fake or as if they are embarrassed to even say their lines so it leaves you feeling like your watching a movie wilhere the actors are making you aware that they know their acting and its all fake and what they are selling I'm just not buying.
    However, I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed with Steven Spielberg's re-make of West Side Story..
    The music and the singers was great as well as the costumes and the acting was really good..
    So yes, I can appreciate a musical if it's as good as Steven's West Side Story or better.
    Infact I liked the ending of the remake better than the older one.
    But yeah the scene where all the pink ladies are spending the night together reminds me of my friends and I when we were kids and teens.
    Cause us girls did all kinds of things at sleep overs.
    Talk about boys, show pictures of our boyfriends.
    Write love letters to our boyfriends.
    And yes we also sprayed our letters with perfume.
    And some of us who were really into music and bands would make up little dance routines and sing and take video of our little performance.
    And those boob exercises had me laughing so freaking hard because many of us did this exercise just like our mothers taught us in order to keep our girls nice and perky. Lol!
    We also did other exercises including the one where you stick out your stuck and did jaw exercises.
    Plus we did make overs and manicures and pedicures and played games and watched movies.
    It was alot of fun.
    And yes there has been times girlfriends pierced each other's ears . I however would have never let anyone do it to me because I was scared of needles and when I had it done I had the gun used.
    When actually a needle would have been better.
    But yes that was one of my favorite scenes in the movie due to how realistic it was.
