Dirty Dancing

Day 3922 August 21, 2025






Dirty Dancing is. movie is a movie that had music, dancing and a message that I missed. The abortion part was missed or I forgot.
But I enjoyed Patrick Swayze, who was born in my hometown of Houston and Jennifer Grey a New Yorker as the dancers. I cheated and found out that there was tension between the two because of their differences in acting styles. But they managed to pull it together to perform nicely.
The second message was about woman's rights when Penny had an abortion.
There were a few more ideas in this movie which I might view again. But overall it was a huge hit. I am sorry that Patrick died of cancer before a second movie could be made.
So my rating is good movie. Good acting that includes the dancing. And Bad time for me to not pay more attention. Maybe the next movie could involve a child of the two assuming that they got married and had a child. The partner could be from one of the other couples who participated in the dance. You never know. I guess I need to pay more attention. These actors do put a lot of work into their movies.
BTW I enjoyed John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever in 1977. These are in my top 3 of dancing movies.
