Saturday Night Fever (Review)

 

 Saturday NIght Fever

Okay as i start this review i must admit......i dont hate disco. I dont think is the best genre of music but  i understand what it was trying to do....with that said French House music is awesome and over trump disco any day.ANYWAY lets get to the matter at hand, and by that i mean a movie that cant decide what it wants to be. The plot contains of a Young Travolta before his gang banging days with Jules(Pulp Fiction Reference). Living in Brooklyn(with no black people) trying to get by at a paint shop and at night he goes out with his sex seeking friends to a disco. NOW, at first this seems like a little harmless plot about how someone with an ambiguous dream with having fun and being recklessness.....19 year olds. THE DUDE NEEDS TO GET OUT OF HIS PARENTS HOUSE!!!! The thing is they really to make us feels sorry for him, living in the shadow of his older brother, his father never respecting him,and then thing seem to look up for him. He starts training with this I WANNA BE SOPHISTICATED PRISSY soon to be every stereotypical 80's movie girl.

(Spoiler Time)I saw it coming when i understood her attitude, Travolta is gonna eventually have to decide, because he love this girl, whether to grow up or keep being a free loader. and the thing is i HATE these kind of coming of age plots when the movie is forced by love. The thing i do find interesting and where the movie gets its heart and my sympathy is his relationship with his family,brother,and the girl. His friends aint interesting AT ALL. They are the most dry back up characters EXCEPT that one character who commits suicide/stupidity at the end of the movie. Which is REALLY stupid REALLY REALLY stupid. This ultimately leads to the most cheapest way of him growing up after almost raping . So end in the end she forginve him. OH i forgot about the disco, mabey because im borin in ...NOT IN THE 60's ot 70's this doesnt shock me because i know disco exzisted but other that is not very surpizing i only remeber actually two cool dacing teams. Oh i and i doo also like the fact that he gives the trophy to latino(spicks as they call them in the movie)couple is kind of cool. All in all this is a really misguided movie that doesn't understand what it wants to be. Its just a very good/cliche movie. That the average boring American would like. Just like Grease.So being i just remingd my self of that movie i give ths one a...
