Danny And Sandy's Fall In Love Depicted In The Film Grease

Improved Essays
In the first scene of Grease, Sandy, an out of town Australian, and Danny, a local teen, have met on the beach and fallen in love. Summer is coming to an end and Sandy worries that this is where they say goodbye for good. Danny comforts her and ends the scene with, “it’s only the beginning.” This flashback parallels the film’s plot. It gives the audience story information about how the two have fallen in love and the audience can assume Danny and Sandy will meet again.
Throughout the film, Danny and Sandy slowly start changing his or her characteristics based off of each other. Danny begins to participate in sports, dress differently, etc., due to Sandy going on a date with someone on the track team. Sandy also starts to dress differently

    Thelma and Louise, a film by Carolyn Ann Khouri, trails the liberations of two working class women in the 90’s. These women plan a weekend away from the men in their lives due to the fact that Thelma’s husband is a misogynistic man who feels that a woman’s job consists only of housework and cooking. In the first scene of the movie Thelma wants to ask her husband, Darryl, for permission to go on the trip with Louise. He yells at her and she quickly changes the subject. In my opinion, this is one of the most crucial scenes in the entire film because it outlines the sexism and discrimination that these two women will face throughout the course of the movie.…
