In the year 1978, one of the most famous movie musicals in the USA is brought to the screen.
Grease is one of the events, the most significant film of the late seventies and will affect a worldwide generation of teenagers. We loved Grease; we wanted to look like Sandy, Rizzo, Marty, Danny, Keneckie or Fonzy. If you were a teenager thirty years ago, you surely sang "You're The One That I Want" and "Summer Nights".
Halloween is the opportunity to realize our dreams. I dreamed to look like Rizzo. If I choose not to dress a witch costume for this Halloween, I probably will choose Rizzo's costume.
Grease is full of characters and then of different costumes based on the fifties teenagers clothing:
Sandy is blonde, naive and she fell in love with Danny.
Rizzo, leader of the Pink Ladies, is a teenager who lives free according to her own laws. She broke with Danny and is Keneckie's girlfriend.
The Pink Ladies: Frenchie, Marty, Jane are the Pink Ladies. They are generally frivolous, only interested by themselves and want to please the T-Birds.
Danny is the hero of the movie. He is the leader of the T-Birds, rebels of Rydell High School. He is in love with Sandy, but refuses to admit it.
Keneckie is Danny's best friend; he is also the second T-Birds leader. He lives a passionate love story with Rizzo.
The T-Birds: Sonny, Doody and Fonzy.
