      Hormonal commotion, disco orgy

      I have a strong feeling for disco, and when I was a kid, one of my uncles was a ripping tape vendor where he had hundreds of tapes to choose from. At that time, the disco trend in foreign countries had actually receded, but in the newly opened mainland, the people were very fond of disco with full of rhythm and beautiful melody.

      If the young people at that time couldn't dance disco, it was like a local turtle; if anyone went out with a dual-card tape recorder and played disco while...

      Really feel the American disco in the 1970s

      Today, I went to the oldest theater in the United States to watch a musical, Saturday Night Fever. It tells the story of the 1970s and is full of disco feelings. Although I watched the movie of the same name before, there are still some dialogues that I don't understand very well. Probably talking about the confusion of the young people at that time and the way of life of people decades ago. The audience was full, and most of them were old people. Maybe it was because of that era that they...

      Viewing experience: life is composed of countless multiple-choice questions

      In addition to the amazing dance skills of John Travolta who held the audience, and the first classic soundtrack of Bee Gees, the plot is also worth watching.

      Although I haven't watched many musicals, I think "Saturday Night Fever" is different from the musicals I have seen and remembered. This film brings singing and dancing into the lives of teenagers. "(Singing in the Rain) is a mature and interesting love story. This film will focus more on the hesitation and helplessness of...

      Jump jump, ten years less



      In the United States in 1978, TV dramas were not yet popular. A poor boy was walking on the bustling streets. He had no money or status, but his eyes were shining and he was full of self-confidence. film, but the key word that cannot be missing is youth. Nowadays, domestic youth films are either in love or leukemia. In addition to their good looks, the male and female protagonists are just fancy tricks. This film has brought youth back to youth, and young people should have a...

      "There is no youth in "Little Times" is an affirmative sentence. (I didn't digress~)

      DISCO was a trend in the 1970s. In 1977, the film described a boy's story through mainstream elements at the time. As for what I want to express and what depth I want to express, this is where I learn from domestic films, especially Siniang who recently watched the world and said that she was going to be whitewashed. "Little Times" is full of material flavors and can't be added emotionally at all. This is the level issue that the director/writer wants to express. In "Saturday Night Carnival",...

      Insolent, passionate, confused, struggling... Fever's not Saturday nights, but hippie nineteens: a nineteen who would be happy to make $2.50 more, a nineteen who thinks Brooklyn is better than Manhattan A nineteen-year-old who will give his medal to someone who thinks he deserves it, is also a nineteen-year-old who is honest with himself and passionate about the world. At that time, it seemed that life was always hard to find hope, but suddenly it was brilliant. Bee Gees' music is a plus....

      Bee gees' song Xdisco~ The 70s of hippies is really a lovely era, and the plot is vulgar and something is inevitable. After all, we are all watching the coquettish dance of Qutaffe when he was young, and bowing down to his slender waist, electric hips and tight crotch speakers under the...

    Evaluation action

    "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,...

    • Connie: So tell me, are you as good in bed as you are on that dance floor?

      Connie: [a few minutes later, after having danced together] So when is Connie going to get her answer?

      Tony Manero: You know, Connie, if you're as good in bed as you are on the dance floor, I'll bet you're one lousy fuck.

      Connie: Then how come they always send me flowers the next morning?

      Tony Manero: 'Cause most guys don't know a lousy fuck when they've had one. Or I dunno. Maybe they thought you was dead.

      Fusco: No, Tony! You can't fuck the future. The future fucks you! It catches up with you and it fucks you if you ain't planned for it?
