Theory Thursday
Grease
The dying dream.
The dying dream.
Several years ago this thing started, producers have since denied the theory but I think they were wrong to do so, and I think the wrong person was picked for the dream.
The theory said that it was Sandy dying after Danny rescued her from the ocean, but how would Sandy know who Danny's classmates were? This is why the story should have this as Danny's dying dream.
To me, embracing this theory would make the movie/story even more meaningful, as in the end, all of Danny's friends live, happily ever after and Danny flies off to heaven with the girl of his dreams.
This also allows the "magic moments" in the film to make perfect sense, like Frenchy's visit from an angelic Frankie Avalon, or how the garage turns into a clean white studio for the, Greased Lightning dance and song scene.
Turning this into somewhat of a fairy tale romance film would probably put it up a few notches and place it with films like, The Princess Bride and/or Willy Wonka.
They should embrace the magic.
