Of course, I had already seen this movie but since it was a while back, I thought I should give it another try. In fact, it was my wife who actually introduced it to me when we first met. Indeed, it was one of her favorite movies, one of those that she saw so many times as a child, and she was (rightfully) shocked that I never saw the damned thing in my life. Well, even though it was indeed a dece... read more

Saturday Night Fever es de esas películas que las recordás más por su estilo y lo ocurre con los personajes que por los personajes en sí.
No me quiero explayar mucho, diré que la medida de la música disco utilizada en la película es entendible, el film quiere tener ese estilo de la era disco y lo logra, destaco el uso de las canciones de los Bee Gees ya que, al fin y al cabo, son los ... read more

Tony is an uneducated Brooklyn teenager. The highlight of his week is going to the local disco, where he is the king of the dancefloor. Tony meets Stephanie at the disco and they agree to dance together in a competition. Stephanie resists Tony's attempts to romance her, as she aspires to greater things; she is moving across the river to Manhattan. Gradually, Tony also becomes disillusioned with the life he is leading and he and Stephanie decide to help one another to start afresh.

“Saturday Night Fever es de esas películas que las recordás más por su estilo y lo ocurre con los personajes que por los personajes en sí.

No me quiero explayar mucho, diré que la medida de la música disco utilizada en la película es entendible, el film quiere tener ese estilo de la era disco y lo logra, destaco el uso de las canciones de los Bee Gees ya que, al fin y al cabo, son los que mejor referencia hacen a este estilo musical.

Y hablando de estilo, sí, la película se basa mucho en esto, los movimientos de los personajes acompañados de la música, sumado a las geniales coreografías plasmadas en las escenas en las que bailan en la discoteca, y es que la verdad y siendo sincero, muchas son muy ingeniosas y bien planeadas y coordinadas, y esto no solo es di” read more

"First viewing - July 3rd Dancing Machines double feature I've long put off seeing Saturday Night Fever because I hate disco music. But sometimes I need to push myself out of my comfort zone, and since it's considered a classic I decided I should finally give it a look. It was a struggle, but I got through it. The racist and misogynistic characters prevalent kept me at a distance, as did the overlong dance routines. But in the end it seemed like Travolta's character wanted to change and become a"
