The movie Grease. We all love it, it's cute, sing songy film about love conquering all, sort of, and the cool kids, being kind of arseholes to the "geeks", getting the happy ever after they want, and a whole list of things that are bad influences on kids.
- Lets take the whole purity think first. Sandy is "too pure to be pink." She's in high school, and is a non smoking virgin who doesn't drink. Big deal. But for the Pink Ladies that is a sign of being "lame." Poor Sandy, not only do they bitch about her, they sing about it. Harsh.
- Next the sex. Boy meets girl, boy falls for girl. Boy goes and sings about non existent sex to friends. Same time girl sings about boy being sweet and cute etc, not knowing that boy is lying to his friends, and is at the same school, and her new friends know the boy. Also, seeing more than one guy at time - go for it. Sneaking out to have unprotected sex - go for it. Sing about it all - go for it! There is worse things I could do.....teasing the guy is worse than sleeping around, staying home waiting on the right guy is worse. Yes, yeah that's it.
- Smoking. Smoking is what the cool kids do. So in that case smoke. There is cigarettes in nearly every scene, even in the sports scene. Next cool thing to do - drink.
- Gangs are cool. Especially gangs with clever names. Pink Ladies, T Birds... The gang is even better if you have a rival gang.
- Finally, they guy will try to change for you, but realistically, you will change for him. You will smoke, you will become ok with pre-marital sex, you will dress like a slag. And he will love it.
Moral of the story, become a different person, act cool and change who you are, then the cool kids will like you and the coolest boy will fall for you. Sorted. Be right back, away to find a new me...
**I love the film.
