One thing I loved about this film is how it focuses on dancing, yet isn’t about dancing at all. The story’s most fundamental pony is trying to escape your boring daily routine. Saturday Night's live theme tune ‘Staying Alive’ speaks as much truth about life as the film itself- a truly perfect song for the movie.
Although I didn’t grow up during the disco generation, Saturday Night Fever makes me feel as if I had- which shows how successful the film is as it is still reaching the younger generation.
Part of this movie is learning to grow up, and treat women as something more than Tony is used to treating them. But that's one of two primary plots--the other is, of course, trying to break away from a boring life. Some of my favorite scenes are one of the finest scenes in the entire movie when Tony has lunch with an older girl) and tries to impress her by acting maturely. But his immaturity shines through--he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about half the time, and when he tries to act smart she outsmarts him. He then realises that women aren't as dumb as he thought.
