As a person who dislikes musicals, I concur that Grease is an amazing movie. The songs were relatable in an innocent way (i.e. finding summer love). The songs I hear in movies today... they aren't innocent. They talk about things like hating the person you love, and other similarly unhealthy concepts. It is a stark departure from the songs of old.
- Scubabear68 3y agoGrease’s songs are not innocent, only Sandy’s songs are, the men’s songs all about what teenage boys want out of teenage girls. Some of the lyrics are even cringeworthy now. Note: I absolutely love Grease!
- justinclift 3y ago> what teenage boys want out of teenage girls Is that any different to what teenage girls want out of teenage boys? ;)
- Scubabear68 3y agoNope. What Grease helps show is how boys are allowed to be covert about it, while girls are expected to be more, shall we say, circumspect. Also, in captain obvious mode, the concept of "reputation" moves in opposite directions between the two sexes. At least in the 70s. In the year 2023? I'm not so sure.
