I really like musicals, John Travolta was so handsome when he was young. The actor is enthusiastic and sincere, and will always like a boy with such a character.
In addition to the dazzling singing and dancing pictures, the serious and real parts of the film also deserve our attention. After the father was unemployed at the dinner table, the father beat his mother, but the mother was afraid to fight back, so she could only beat the youngest daughter. The heroine kept talking to the host and his friends about how many celebrities she had been with to reflect her elegance and elegance. Excellence, the heroine's pride, and the mother's humbleness all reflect the embarrassment of women's status in that era. This can also be seen from Tony's girlfriend Annet, who is very eager to marry the male lead, but because of love, he is humble, can't love, and is full of obsession, fooling around with his brother, and finally ends in tragedy. There is also the male lead's brother, who kindly said that his girlfriend loves to eat sacrament cookies, and finally chose to accidentally fall into the river due to the pressure of reality. In the frenetic weekend night, what impressed us is that, in addition to the classic dance style of Travolta, there is also the cold and realistic core of this film, the indulgence of young people, the exploitation of citizens by capitalists, the benevolence of the petty citizens. Vanity, the bullying of women in a patriarchal society... Just like Tony’s boss said: “If you don’t prepare today, tomorrow reality will fuck you”, Tony himself thinks: “The excitement of the disco is only temporary "So how did the story end after this youthful frenzy dissipated? Perhaps the best outcome for them is to get married and have children just like their parents, and continue to pin their hopes on the next generation, because this is the tragedy of the times. The brother Tony left, Tony and the heroine, are the unfinished answers left by the director. I personally think that this ending is not the director’s fault, or that the funds for the hastily ending are insufficient, which is not clever but conforms to the core of the film’s realism.
