" Saturday Night Fever is a 1977 American dance drama film directed by John Badham and produced by Robert Stigwood. It stars John Travolta as Tony Manero, a young Italian-American man who spends his weekends dancing and drinking at a local discothèque while dealing with social tensions and disillusionment in his working class ethnic neighborhood in Brooklyn. The story is based on "Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night", a mostly fictional 1976 article by music writer Nik Cohn. A major cri"

“(OK) La capacidad de Badham para no solo sensualizar sino 'iconizar' a Travolta es tremenda, es el Rocky Balboa dela disco. Los Bee Gees soy muy light para la violencia de los chicos...” read more

Proof that disco does not suck or is dead

“Will openly admit to having very fond memories of school discos, singing along (often forgetting words) and dancing (with some energy if not such a discernible beat) to music, a music college graduate has to start somewhere, that was great then and still is now.

'Saturday Night Fever' may not be a perfect film, or a masterpiece, but to me and many others it is high-energy and hugely enjoyable entertainment that took me back to nostalgic, and happier, times in my life. This was the late 90s-early 2000s, just to make things clear, memories of the 70s are none due to not having been born yet. 'Saturday Night Fever' is one of those films where it is easy to sit back and forget any problems and relax after a hard day (am hardly any stranger to those, so 'Saturday Night Fever' was a mu” read more

" Notes: In fact, it was my wife who actually introduced this movie 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. Well, even though it was indeed a decent watch, to be honest, I didn't really connect with this movie, I'm afraid. Basically, the oddest thing about this movie is how it keeps switching between the rather cheesy dance scenes (which were pre"

"04.10.2020 my rating: 7,5"

“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"
