Grease (1978)

The movie Grease is a 1978 musical, directed by Randal Kleiser. It won both a People’s Choice Award and Germany’s Golden Screen Award. It was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. The thing I found most interesting about this movie is the singing. The songs are all catchy and I feel that this is the reason the movie is such a success, well that and the fact that it deals with one of the most used themes in movies: teen angst. Obviously being a movie based on teens in high school the movie is aimed at that demographic. The acting was believable and the characters were well rounded. As a musical I feel it perfectly represents its category. It could potentially fit into the romance and comedy genre as well. Since the movie was made in the 70’s the cinematics are somewhat obsolete. Overall it’s a fun watch.
