Grease, despite being more than 40 years old, has sparked a new debate this week, as people argue about whether the 1978 musical is sexist. The beloved movie, starring John Travolta and Olivia

the actor spoke about her character Sandy's tranformation at the end of the film, where she dramatically changes her image to win the heart of Travolta's Danny.It’s a story from the 50s where things were different. Everyone forgets that, at the end, he changes for her, too. There’s nothing deep in there about the #MeToo movement.

For chrissake, it is representative of its time, with some fun and music added. Get. A. Life.

Who gives a fuck , great film, fit bird in it😂

‘People’ need to stop looking for things to complain about.

These people actually got no real problem

Aren’t there better things to didn’t time on... by the way of course it is - think of when it was made

Cynical for sure. The film makes you feel used.

Oh fgs!! 🙄🙄

Oh my here we go. It was a movie of it’s time. Every era has cinema that reflects the history of that time. Rewriting or trying to erase history makes me so mad. It is so important to keep so we can learn from it not just forget it. ❤️

Of course it is, but what movie from the era wasn’t? WE as a people were inherently sexist, so of course it is. She has to don spandex and smoke and cut her blouse low to get the boy? It’s also homophobic, have you addressed that?

Of course it is! How are people just realising this? Doesn't mean the songs aren't as catchy as hell though.

Personally speaking, it feels like woman empowerment. She starts off being all weak and needy. At the end she's got him wrapped around her little finger. Oh... And also. It's just a fucking musical!!!

No they're not. The vast, vast vast majority aren't hysterical woke in overdrive.

No, they’re not.

In other new, people suck and obviously have too much time on their hands

I think we analyse a lot of things

Which losers are?

Only if you hate sex

Please. Get over it.

God was sexist?

Pffffffffffffffff

What's sexist, is Trump telling women he's sending their husbands back to work.

I hope my tweet won't offend many people. Many in Japan might read it as 'Greece is...'

If ppl don’t like it don’t watch it!

No one is debating, just loser liberals who get angry at everything

How is that even a question. It’s 100% sexist and cringy :D
