- Abby and Jon watch Grease for the first time...well, for her anyway. We sing, dance, and fan-cast Abby's friends for when they do a stage production!
The ending is controversial in our opinion. What do you think? - Розваги
The flying car is a magical idea that they sailed off into the sunset together. It’s not meant to be literal.
This film is more about how a boy also changes for a girl he loves.
And the same with a girl for a boy. In a bit of the clichéd teenage romance of the 1950s in this rockybilly musical.
Personally, I think the ending of the film grows on me every time I watch it. It has such a katcy happy ending
You guys need to open your imaginations it’s a MOVIE. This movie is just Fun.
Don’t overthink the ending, it a fun musical it’s just happy.
The Sandra-Dee lyrics she sings include “so scared, and unsure” so I think her evolution is about her gaining more confidence and demanding more for herself. The dressing up at the end is for fun. It’s not that deep! LOL Fun reaction though.
They probably didn't know who Elvis or Troy Donahue were. 😂
She wasn't running from two boys, she was sliding down the bannister.
Iconic movie of all time and the actors Olivia and John were AWSOME. I also give credit to the other actors as well and the songs will always be memorable! I must’ve watched this movie hundreds of times since it first came out, I’m 54 and I’d still watch it today… unfortunately we lost our loved one Olivia aka sandy recently and it’s been a terrible loss to those of us who were fans, my condolences to her friends and family and to John travolta aka Danny who played her better half in the movie. There friendship lasted so many years after this movie and u could still see that love of friendship whenever they saw eachother so I know right now he’s sad losing a good friend like her. But we will ALWAYS have GREASE and remember her and the songs she sang and also in the movie Xanadu. Rest In Peace cause heaven just got another angel. 🙏🏼
Danny did change for Sandy, he became a Jock. So instead of running the roads with the guys he ran track.
I know, I think this is strange. The dude said he was homeschooled and my guess is she probably was not into sport so they might not know what it means to letter in a sport and how hard it is and how much work it would take. It almost looks like they did not want to like Danny so they made up their own story about him instead of following the one that was on the screen.
In the 50's those guys with the slick hair were called beatnecks or "greasers" hence the name of the movie. They were the rebels of their day like the hippies of the 60's
Olivia Newton John was 25 when she got this role as a 17 year old, I love hear voice and music R.I.P SWEETEST Olivia Newton John.
29 actually, she turned 30 when the movie was released.
@@visaman my bad
This movie is an all-time classic! Fell in love with Olivia Newton-John from this movie! Amazing! They just don't make them like this anymore!
Wait for another amazing season of pink ladies
I think the implication was that she wasn't happy, and therefore wanted to be like the Pink Ladies instead of the stuffy 50s idea. In the 70s, they were just coming off the high of sixties "liberated" sex, and it was still popular to assume that shedding those old restrictions was liberating and free and authentic, as opposed to what Sandy had been modeling through the movie, which was the "old" way.
(I wouldn't read too much into him shedding the sweater. He did tell his buddies that he'd lettered in track, meaning that he'd gotten that self-discipline. Shedding the sweater was just supposed to mean that he was hot.)
They both changed. Danny started to be a little more grown up and she got rid of some old restraints. They were becoming adults.
Yeah. Their dialogue compound that. He matured, she let herself a little loose.
The band at the High School Dance was a real group in the 70's called Sha na na. They specialized in 50's music (obviously)
Bowzer and his iconic poses!! I used to think that a member of Sha na na was Billy Crystal... !?! I never missed a show when they had their TV short series. Something to share with my parents. Their Era my musical growth.
They as twenty year olds playing teenagers because the movie was a campy parody of 50's teen culture. Actual teens and tweens played themselves in many 70's movies, like LITTLE DARLINGS, OVER THE EDGE and THE BAD NEWS BEARS.
Rest In Peace Sandy!! ❤️
Olivia Newton John just passed away today 😔
Olivia Newton John was a huge recording star long before this film.
I recently learned that the original production of Grease was in Chicago and now that I've lived here a bit that makes a weird kind of sense. I can't quite explain it.
Yes, the original script had a lot of Chicago references, then when it hit Broadway, they changed it.
This movie definitely stands up in today's world, even Sandy changing because most Women understand the importance of standing by their Men as the man is her protector, something Women are useless at which is why they cannot fight an army, clean sewers, build skyscrapers etc etc
The Woman is there to be that perfect nurturing person, so very important.
First time watching yet she knows every song word for word.
90% of the UA-cam reactions to songs and movies, they’ve already heard or seen it before
john travolta born February 18, 1954 making him 68 years old as of july 2022
You guys should watch Saturday Night Fever and Staying Alive
Thing is they both changed for each other.
I've got a suggestion for a couple movies that neither of you may have seen. *The Thin Man* from 1934 and *12 Angry Men* from the 50's.
I like 12 Angry men. I’ll throw that in the mix!
grease is a movie that i watched a lot but couldn't even begin to try to explain because the beginning of the movie makes sense but about halfway through the plot just kinda refuses to exist. it's very funny
I had watching this movie Grease for 5 times in cinema when I was young in high school.
Rip olivia
A few suggestions 😎 ... 'The Craft' (the original from 1996), 'Interview with the Vampire', 'Blade', Death Becomes Her, Carrie (the original), the Witches of Eastwick, Practical Magiv.
The ending is not entirely unproblematic, I think most would agree. Then again I seem to remember that critics at the time of release also noted as much, so I don’t think it was ideal by 1978 standards either. But, it is about the 50s… Also, it is about teenagers, and the peer pressure they’re living with - and succumbing to - however we adults feel about it.
But sure, I do think that the ”Grease Live” production from 2016 tackled it better: They managed to flesh it out a bit so it was more about Sandy gaining the courage to become who she herself wanted to be, and less about appeasing some guy. (Their Sandy was from Utah and had very strict parents). Overall I think they improved on the plot and filled out a few confusing holes.
The original stage play was too raunchy for Broadway! 😮
'Be an athletic supporter" - an athletic supporter is a jock strap. The 'down under" joke also seemed to go over their heads.
Ritz was 33!!
These people were almost 30
Eugene was 20
Sandy was 29
1. I worked at a three-theatre movie group and this is one of which is a drive-in. Yes it was like that. Sometimes moving from car to car.
2. Also, Up in Smoke, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Saturday Night Fever.
3. This was a great movie to take your honey to. I was in High School.
4. These songs kill for karaoke (especially Summer Lovin')
5. Marty/Diana Manoff is my honey😍😋
6. If you don't dig the all star cast it's on you🙄
7. RIP ONJ 😭😇

3. This was a great movie to take your honey to. I was in High School.
4. A ton of these songs had great radio play when this came out.🎸
5. Karaoke gold🧑🎤
How could this be the first time watching it. Where have you been😂 ?
Aw! You were so busy talking when the car pulled up at the end, you totally missed that they ended the song, "We Go Together" with the exact song you were talking about, "Who Put the Bop..."
I never thought about the ending like that. I don’t think I will ever look at it the same again.
From what you mentioned briefly, have you seen Newsies? I love the movie if you haven’t seen it.
Hello from Samoa. xxx Love and light.
4:44 Is singer's name is Frank Valley
I screened this movie for my (boy girl) 8 year olds. They loved it but there were sooo many questions...
Here are some of my recommendations: The Love Bug movies; the Pink Panther movies, "That Darn Cat" (the original 1965 version, not the 1997 version), and "Space Camp" (1986). Another good choice: episodes from the original "McGuyver" TV show.
It's about perspective. And it's a movie just have fun with it. Standers some time it's stupid.
I have viewed this movie through the lens of satire for decades. Though this film clearly shows some 70s era nostalgia for the 50s there's a lot that for me rings like it is critical of the things that might bother me otherwise. If course that's just my reading.
The high school dance scenes were always my fav.
John Travolta was only 24 when he did this movie, Olivia was 29 at the same time.
Grease was performed by Frankie Valley. Not the bee gees. Olivia Newton John was a huge recording star long before this film.
Barry Gibb wrote the song.
Love this film
I SAW ACROSS THE UNIVERSE ON THE WHEEL 😭 Please react to it!
This was cute! I hope you two return to this channel soon! :)
How can people born and raised middle-class in North America have NO IDEA of what GREASE is all about?
Has she lived under a rock in say, the Grand Canyon, all of this time?
She is a theater kid, she knows the stage version.
The film version is roughly 75% of the stage version, right?@@visaman
I’ve seen this more times than I’d care to admit to
wy IS HER TOUNGE BLUE
Ya, I’ll sub ☑️
He didn’t die
🎶 Sweet home Alabama 🎶🎧
Can y’all react to Grease 2? I prefer it to this one, and the songs are better imo.
Amazing reaction my friends Joe and Abby!!....In 2017, the music world was shocked by the bursting onto the scene of a 22-year-old singer named Dimash Kudaibergen, who performed on the famous Chinese competition show for professional singers called “The Singer”... It was just It was necessary for this young man to make his first appearance, making a cover of one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse", to be considered from that moment on as the best singer in the entire planet....No one in the musical field had ever seen a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges above 7 octaves and several semitones, that is, all 88 keys of a digital piano, which reaches a little more than 7 octaves and as if that weren't enough, sing the more than 12 languages...Since then all kinds of experts (Vocal coach, analysts, singing teachers, youtubers, reactors, etc.) have dedicated themselves to reviewing their presentations to try to understand how someone can sing this way...The incredible thing is that that presentation in China was in 2017 and 5 years have passed since then, but what Dimash has done in these 5 years is to further improve his wide vocal range, which is currently practically above of the 8 octaves... The Covid pandemic stopped his concerts worldwide, all with tickets sold in just seconds, via the internet, but at the same time it ended up catapulting him to the top of popularity worldwide...Anyway, since I think you are one of those reactors who have not yet met this impressive singer, and in order to help your channel grow exponentially in the coming days, here is the link of that presentation in China in 2017, with the song S.O.S. and I would like you to mention my name as the person who recommended him to you..It is a more recent video than the others, so it does not have the same number of views as the previous ones, which have millions of views, but it is a more complete video, with an intro, subtitles in several languages and with the improved quality of audio and sound....ua-cam.com/video/bDX3FhmyNac/v-deo.html
Not the same set! Two different studios, seven year's apart.
Should stop pausing, ruining the video
Everything goes over head it's painful to watch.
Get a grip. Educate urself before u watch old movies.
Just a little, hopefully constructive criticism, work on your editing.. it literally seemed you pulled random parts of the movie and then you'd cut away just before the payoff of the scene would happen. Talk about "Unsatisfying" as you liked to say about this all time classic movie. Good luck with future videos. 🙄
Im not waiting another year worth of this bulls*it im done can't wait until 4/9/24 they owe me season 2 of pink ladies now or I'll unsubcribe to them
Sorry, too woke for me. Relax and realize this movie was made in the 70s to reflect the 50s. No fun.
What was the woke part?
Even gay men have to pull the weight of Strait women.
Ez reaction no. Music ... F
Please, no singing. Thank you. Signed, the World.
This movie along with many many others couldn't get made today with the woke sensitive crybabies these days that would be all triggered and offended because of racism or something dumb as fuck like that. We can't have good entertaining thought provoking films like a clockwork orange
@@ASelfishIgnorantCitizen No just want good storytelling and riveting characters without being preached to by a bunch self entitled narcissist that think they know better than everybody else. Top gun Maverick is the perfect example that it can be done if you get the woke activists out of process.
What racism? 😮
@@visaman there's no black characters so it's racist these days at least that's what I hear out of Hollyweird
@@visaman Make no mistake this is one of my favorite movies of all time but just like blazing saddles it couldn't be made today because it's not PC enough
@@blakemcelrath54 I suppose, but, you never know, with Hollyweird these days. 😉
In the nicest possible way…DONT make videos like this…you showed nothing of the movie, just you two making inane comments with viewer trying to guess what you’re actually watching……terrible….do something else this isn’t for you…
