Even with the casting choices, I'm flabbergasted that Grease became a cult classic. As far as I can tell the overall message of the film is: "if a woman wants to keep her man, she must act like a dirty slut."

    Didn't Travolta's Greaser character turn clean-cut in order to be with her? I always thought the point was that they originally liked each other for who they were, without pretense but society was forcing them to conform to standards and pigeonhole them.

    Or maybe it was all about the dancing and singing and we are trying to get too deep into it.
