    The reason Saturday Night Fever became a hit was because of the music, and Travolta's dancing and charisma. It was a solid film, but really a murky grotesque reality tale of NY otherwise, which was fashionable at the time. The incredible soundtrack which went multiple platinum took that film into the stratosphere.

    It is a really damn good movie. I remember my grandmother got me the VHS of the PG version that was released sometime in the early 2000's she always showed me cool old movies like taxi driver, blues brothers, Saturday Night Fever, then years later I watched the R cut but really still always loved the movie and the true version really is powerful.

    0:11 the host is wrong, "Saturday Night Fever" is no longer remembered by the masses as a "family dance-a-thon" movie. The reason the film is so acclaimed over 40 years later is because over time it finally was recognized for what it really is, a dark, brutal slice of Brooklyn life for the main character and those around him.

    I look at it as more of a coming of age movie. Travolta’s character was 19 and had no interests other than dancing until he meets this older girl was i think was 24. There are now two versions of it. The r rated is very R. Towards the end of the movie some say the scene in the car in the back seats Donna Pescow gets gang raped.

  • @gonstotwriter

    The "older girl" was 20. The studio released the R version initially but replaced it with PG due to all the kids who couldn't buy tickets for the R movie.SNF had a very modest budget; JT got the lead because he was very affordable at that time.

    The dark parts of the movie are part of what make the movie amazing. They give THE meaning to the dancing - its an escape from the darkness that stems from ignorance, want, racism, homophobia, sexism, etc. I don't want to watch the cut version, it takes away the real meaning of it all.
