The 1978 musical Grease is now facing increased scrutiny after it was aired by the BBC during Boxing Day last year – which is the name of the second of the twelve days of Christmas. Now fans of the original musical are reassessing their views towards the classic nearly 40 years after it first arrived in theaters.
The consensus at the moment is that the film isn't exactly aging well. Some have called it misogynistic, while others are referring to it as downright 'rapey'. In fact, some people are so offended by the film that there are even calls for Grease to be banned from screens altogether. But it really begs the question. Is Grease really as bad as people are saying it is or is it just the product of a different time, where society had different values and core beliefs?
