Can you imagine dancing like Tony Manero? It's fair to point that over the years we find several examples of amazing and reference dancers,from Fred Astaire to Billy Elliot,or Alex Owens in Flashdance among others.For all of us,Dancing like us is totally unimaginable,not is it innate but it is also great dedication.However,the charisma of Tony Manero is on the top of the iceberg.
Saturday Night Fever is an American dance film.It was directed by John Badham.The strong point of this film is clearly John Travolta.The well-known actor shows his best version,which gave the opportunity to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor.I must make clear that its disco songs,arranged by Bee Gees,is considered one of most best soundtracks of all time.Six years later,there was a sequel,but it hadn't the same success despite John Travolta.Last but not least,the story is based on an article,which showed the disco lifestyle.
Anthony 'Tony' Manero (John Travolta) is a working-class young man who still lives with his parents.Malero spend his weekings in a famous pub,Odisea 2001.There,Tony to be thought of as the king of the dance floor,but he wants to make a name for oneself.Tony has a group of friends :Joey,Double J,Gus,Bobby C,and overall,Stephanie Mangano (Karen Lynn Gorney) who is Tony's dance partner.All things changed when they decide to sign up to a well-known competition.The film elapses among racial tensions,squabbling parents and Manero's routine life.However,this situation could change with this competition and his dream to make his mark in the world of dance.
Overall,Saturday Night Fewer is an amazing depiction of how could be the stuggle of a professional dancer.I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie.As I mentioned before,its soundtrack and Bee Gees are absolutely unforgettable .To sum up,for all lovers of John Travolta is a must.
