"Saturday Night Fever" is actually a very serious film. This seriousness far exceeds the audiovisual excitement that Travolta's writhing buttocks and the sensual dogs and horses in the disco club bring to the audience. Of course, in the 21st century, such music and dance are not only old-fashioned, but also hypocritical. If you ignore the limitations of this era, "Saturday Night Fever" bursts out of an aggressive reality and cruelty, as well as the gray of life. There was a scene on the dining table in the film that was impressive. When the father went to beat Tony, the mother beat the father once, and the father beat him back. The mother was angry but didn't dare to fight back, so she beat the youngest daughter once. After the meal, my mother cried and said to my father that you had never beaten me before you became unemployed. The latter was stern, and said nothing. In detail, "Saturday Night Fever" lifted up the shabby of Brooklyn. The heroine kept telling Tony and his friends which big person she helped to do some chores, as if it made her look different and unique. Elegant style. This kind of ridiculous vanity is shown in the film so impressively and real, and when Tony's disguised superiority is revealed by Tony, she finally cries out loud. Except Tony, everyone in this film has some unbalanced mentality. Although Tony is confused, he has spontaneous innocence. It is a pity that because of the poor balance between entertainment and realism, the ending of the film is almost a hasty ending, giving people the illusion that the film has not enough funds to end in a hurry, which is the biggest flaw in the film
