In my eyes, Saturday Night Fever should be considered a classic for the era in which it evolved. Not only because of the music soundtrack which was one of the best compilations on an album in a long while, and brought the Bee Gees to the forefront of the Music scene at that time. The movie also brought John Travolta into the spotlight as an actor, showcasing his abilities as both a performer, as well as an actor. Before this he was but Vinnie Barbarino, or a young boy in the plastic bubble. Had this not been a success, Grease may never have come to him and maybe he is not what he is today. Finally though i think it should be considered a classic because of how the different storylines that evolved in the story spelled out what it meant to grow up in the late 70's and in the so-called Disco Era. Sure the 70's might not include some of the problems we had now, but the movie displayed how discos served as a place for people to release the pressures of everyday life and the good dancers could become larger than life. It showed some of the pressures exerted on the American Family at that time, and yes displayed some of the very typical stereotypes that were also prevalent, including treating of women, and various races. I think there were plenty of things learned from this movie, and thats why i think it will always be a classic. Oh and yes, the music and especially the dancing was great to. You all know you have done the John Travolta white suit pose at least once. Ok maybe im dating myself.
