Travolta used to be cool. I think they should have had a better looking girl for the lead opposite Travolta. Did they think she was pretty at the time?
A film with style. What happened to the shot I have seen with Travolta in his white suit doing his finger-pointing dance? The racial remarks and vulgarity are nice because they are unrestrained and true-to-life. The conversation all seems very natural. Lots of sex! Funny, but in this movie, lonely, pathetic, and horny girls go after the hard-to-get guys. It’s fun for a while, but by the end of the movie, things are back to normal, and the men are the grovelling, pathetic losers.
A pretty complicated movie about the future, with lots of neat metaphors (bridge between the two lovers, the train to subway transition, music bringing races together, etc.), a nice anti-religion bent, and a neat point. The catch phrase says it all: “Where do you go when the record stops?” A surprisingly anti-disco movie. Because of the film’s renewed popularity with Tarantino and “the 70’s are cool” movement of the 90’s, I was expecting it to revel in disco dancing and sex. The fact that it was really just the opposite was quite shocking.
