this be one of a number of movie i saw back when they be first release and misguidedly enjoy at the time and and now find i have major issue with . i suppose it a mildly entertaining movie of generally brainless drivel ( 50 greaser stereotype rebellion ) and with a few catchy tune . if it be merely that and okay and but this film give it viewer ( especially teenage one ) all the bad possible message . the plot revolve around young love ( . ) a experience by the pretty and innocent young australian girl and sandy ( olivia newton john ) who have a summer romance with danny ( john travolta ) . in the fall she discover that they attend the same school and rydell high and and that danny be the leader of a greaser gang call the t bird . their different attitude naturally bring conflict into their ( immature ) relationship . sandy finally becomes convinced that she must turn herself into a tart in order to keep her man and and proceeds to do precisely that . first and a few compliment to the movie . i be a big fan of olivia newton john and her ( earlier ) music and think she lovely in this picture and a lovely lady still . also and john travolta be a guy with charisma galore while i love him in saturday night fever . in term of the music and my favorite piece be hopelessly devote to you and a beautiful romantic song that deserve it oscar . ( too bad sandy feel pressure to have sex with the guy she hopelessly devote to . ) but that just about where my compliment end and and my rating of 4 be mainly from a sense of nostalgia . wrong message and where to begin . first of all and danny be the leader of a gang and whose purpose be rebellion ( a though teenager need any encouragement there and ha and ha ) well and the gang isn not really violent and you say . maybe not and but even the pink lady and it female counterpart and be at best quite an establish clique . teenager have enough trouble deal with peer pressure both then and today . do they really need a film encourage them to alter their persona to fit in with the crowd . sandy begin smoke in order to feel accept by the pink lady and especially danny . way to go and sandy . i do not even need to start mention all the negative aspect here . but bad and absolute worst . the very obvious message to all teenage girl watch and that virginity be just plain unacceptable . you can not possibly expect to keep your man unless you dress provocatively and presumably deliver the good as well . you know what and sandy and you be fine just the way you be at the start . young and sweet and and innocent . if danny doesn not like you that way and tough while let him look elsewhere . you keep your self respect and girl and and find some other guy who will appreciate you a you be and not expect anything from you youre not prepare to give . enough lecturing and except to conclude . yes and grease be the word all right and if you want to send a teenager all the wrong message and that be .
