"Grease" is a terrible movie after the first three or four times you watch the film. While the film was ground-breaking for its time, you realize how simple the plot actually is and how shallow Sandy is as a person because she sacrifices her own beliefs for someone else. amirite?

I don't get the ending either. Cars can't fly.

Is it bad that I've never seen Greece?

Well sure, it has a bad moral. But that doesn't make it a bad movie.
It's just supposed to be fun.

It's a movie, not a documentary...why are you reading so much into it?

@soberlikekesha It's a movie, not a documentary...why are you reading so much into it?

It's a movie, so I have a right to criticize the movie by its literary elements like plot and character developement and setting. Asking that question is like asking "Why are you reading so much into that book?"

(Chauncy Pickles):Yea well I just find it a bit odd you're arguing about stuff that has nothing or little to do with the movie. Seems
like you're just criticizing for the sake of criticizing. But whatever to each their own, I don't really care whether you enjoyed it or not.

@monstrosity Movies, like literature, are meant to be analyzed.

And sometimes one can analyze too much and end up taking things out of context. But as I said before, I don't really care if they liked the movie, perhaps if they weren't trying to scour the movie constantly for things to criticize they might but whatever makes them happy, and if criticizing is it then so be it.

@soberlikekesha And sometimes one can analyze too much and end up taking things out of context. But as I said before, I don't...

"They" is not the appropriate pronoun because I am a singular being.

I wasn't scouring the movie for things to criticize. The more times you watch the same movie, the more details you tend to notice. I caught these details after the fifth or sixth time since the first time I watched "Grease", which would probably be at most ten years ago.

And excuse me, good sir, but I believe character developement and plot developement make up a pretty significant part of any movie, "Grease" being NO exception. Obviously every part of the movie was intended to be used; otherwise, they would have edited the movie more appropriately.

You do not know me, and you do not know anything about me other than what I've told you about me. You really shouldn't speak of topics you do not understand, 'less you should look like a fool.

(Chauncy Pickles): Now you're just being rude. And excuse me, considering the fact Grease is a well loved movie and many find nothing to criticize about it, the fact you have so many complaints does make it seem like you were just looking for things to find. And wow, telling me not to talk about things I know nothing about; yeah because watching a movie is sooooo hard. As I said I don't really give two shits if you liked it or not, I just wanted to know why you wanted to over analyze it to the point where you were no longer able to enjoy it like most of the population does. And btw since you felt the need to correct my grammar mistake you should have put "lest" you look like a fool. 'less is not a word, it's either unless or lest. And now good night to you, I can tell you are just wanting to be those types of people who need to complain to feel sastifaction in their life and I don't need to know everything about you to realize that.

@soberlikekesha (Chauncy Pickles): Now you're just being rude. And excuse me, considering the fact Grease is a well loved movie and...

I used he apostrophe in 'less to take the place of un in unless, but thank you for your correction. I didn't realize that was the proper spelling.

As a rebuttal, most of the American population is obese, but that doesn't mean they should be obese.

I kbow what you mean, I don't like the whole moral of the story... Girl changes so the guy likes her... Pretty crappy moral for young girls to take in. Also the girl is bad so she dits in with her friends??!! Buuuttttt it's still a classic and I dunno...it's still cool, must be the awesome outfits...

@frecklemooey I kbow what you mean, I don't like the whole moral of the story... Girl changes so the guy likes her... Pretty...

Well they both ended up changing. I got more of a sometimes you need to comprimise type of moral from it.

It's got good tunes. That's pretty much the only good thing I can say about it. The first time I watched it, I was fourteen. I was all "What? What kind of moral is this? She just gives up everything she was for a guy?"

...How does this have a negative rating right now? I love Grease as much as the next person, I mean it's a classic, but you can't deny the fact that the moral of the story is that if a guy doesn't like you for who you are, just change yourself into the person he wishes you were.

No Ways: So none of you think Sandy is shallow? What about that scene when Danny decided to join the track team? When he stumbled over the hurdles, Sandy abandoned the guy she'd been seeing at that very instant and went to comfort Danny. She didn't even give the guy an "It's just no working out," or something like that.

(Chauncy Pickles): Well yeah she's shallow, but I think the movie is still fun to watch.

@Shadi In that case, Miss, you surely have no taste.

(Chauncy Pickles): It's a classic with some catchy tunes. That doesn't mean I have bad taste, silly!

@vondahl (Chauncy Pickles): It's a classic with some catchy tunes. That doesn't mean I have bad taste, silly!

What about Danny and K'nicky's friends? Why was that one friend so old? Four of the T-Birds looked like they were a reasonable age for that setting, but that one friend (I hope you know about whom I am speaking) looked too old for high school.

(Chauncy Pickles): It's kind of like how Ellen Page looks too young for her role in Inception.
I'm no Grease freak, but there are much worse musicals out there haha.

Ellen Page's appearance in "Inception" is irrelevant to the current topic, and she looks as young as a college student should look. By "haha", do you mean "fanny"?

That is the most offensive part of the movie! There are like fifteen slurs in that song!

(Chauncy Pickles): Whoaaaaaaaaaa, there, pardner. You're getting a bit worked up and snappish. Nobody's attacking you here. Stop being so overly-defensive, we get it, you don't like the movie. Chillax.
