Involuntary comedies: Dirty Dancing (1987)

Dirty Dancing did not appear in our plans when we started this section but, suggestion through, and moved by the healthy intention to take everything a bit of messing, we go for the film that someone defined as the Star Wars for girls.And no, of course not, we are not going to forget the watermelons!

La década de los 80 empezó con un -placentero- acoso y derribo de películas de tipo escapista firmadas por la dupla Spielberg & Lucas para, a partir de mitad de década, mutar en una suerte de implosión de género juvenil. La ya revisada Top Gun, de 1986, fue un hito social que aunaba dosis infinitas de alucine militar a mayor lucimiento de Tom Cruise. Un año más tarde, de forma inesperada (presupuesto, medios, expectativas…), Dirty Dancing tomó el relevo y se convirtió en algo más: un hito generacional de los que abren un tubo en el espacio-tiempo y transportan a cada fan al momento en el que vivió dicho film, su música o esos últimos años ochenta. Pero, ah, la película -pese a que se sostiene muy decentemente bajo la lupa del paso del tiempo- contiene algunas perlas que debemos revisar. Con cariño, eh, que nos gusta Dirty Dancing.

Dirty Dancing begins with some initial credits the sea of originals (without irony): the dancers, almost figures, the film, in slow camera, black and white filter and the Be My Baby of The Ronettes are literally starred.The doubt is whether to define what is seen as a dance or a conjunction of couples ready for a sexual dance frenzy.So here we scratch a little: in a theoretically romantic film a sexual factor underlies, but of the host ... but much, go, that Emile Ardolino (director), Linda Gottieb (producer) and Eleanor Bergstein (screenwriter and de facto creator: Basedthe libretto in his own life) escapes obvious but, at no time, leave out of reach of the viewer.In 1987 it was not looked at all clear (well, they give me yes), in those moments reagn and pre-real global novelty, but this film emanates sexual sweat in almost every scene.Except those that Max Kellerman stars, of course.A respect.

We start with an intro in which the protagonist is taken, Baby (Jennifer Gray), as an off -voice narrator, in a resource that is not used again in the rest of the film and that, honestly, was not necessary.But go, we know that we are in 1963, at the dawn of the definitive change between the happy and conservative years and the convulsive and more international 60s. The rest is obvious: Baby travels with his family to a kind of a rural summer hotel,He loves his father a lot, passes from his mother (like this, does anyone remember if the word is directed?) And, as a sign that the voiceover is not necessary, Ardolino is not very subtle with his sister: whileBaby reads a book, her sister looks in the mirror.Capture: She is silly.

Once installed in that terrifying place (the recreational activities and the good general vibes are very afraid: there they perform satanic rituals, at least) Baby, which is young (it is not clear how much), made a look at the main house and there it opens thereA little mouth.This is important: she passes the movie with her mouth open.Why?In the midst of a speech, the sexist sea of friend Kellerman, who travels between the kind family old man, and the abrupt CEO in private, appears Johnny (Patrick Swayze).The contrast between this, hars, with its pelazo and its sunglasses (there is a specific type of male capable of wearing glasses inside without being ridiculous), and the waiters exceeds the subtle, again.Total that Kellerman asks, he begs, Johnny that this year is not thrown to 23 women.

Poor Baby tries to venture the Kellerman's grandson, not in the agreed plan of Thrones, but almost.She, who is a ricure and has her level, does not pay attention to the poor, and ridiculous, kid.She even releases him a leftist speech that would still shake a republican voter today.After a ridiculous dance of Kellerman (this man is everywhere) and the much more elegant Tito Suarez (Charles Colles), poor Baby puts her to dance with the plasta of the grandson Kellerman and she opens her mouth again.No. Not for the grandson.Johnny and Penny (Chyntia Rhodes) make their entrance to the dance floor, to encourage the matter, and Baby give it all the evils.The comparison between Nieto Beta and Johnny Alfa is lethal.And, what are you nose, we are like Baby: Johnny's physical and spherical exhibition contrasts with the smell of Baron Dandy from the entire room.

Disoriented, and somewhat disgusted (we insist: Baby is innocent and she is the protagonist but it is also Jennifer Gray and the other, well, no, no), Baby advances to land of the plebe, that is, waiters, dancers and others and Find with one of the currants you have already known. Billy (Neal Jones), the great Billy, a friendly and humble kid who at that time, for some unknown reason, loads with three huge watermelons. Baby, which blatantly intends, which Rose in Titanic, a social expedition from First to Third Class, couples to Billy and penetrates a cabin that looks like another different solar system within Kellerman's complex carca. The dancers and others, apparently all free of service, dance as possessing to the rhythm of Do You Love Me. We say that they dance because that resembles more to a kind of sexual ritual of rub and fray, sweat and various emulsions, a dancer detach that leaves Baby to the edge of a collapse. And she suddenly opens her mouth again: Johnny and Penny enter the cabin.

His entrance is monumental: Johnny grabs the beer of a partner and sticks a drink as if it were an ultra powerful liquor, the height of the rebellion, and without hesitation they take possession of the center of the track to accelerate to the rhythm of the aforementioned do you love me.The spectator, of pure empathy, even compassion, understands the facial pasmarote that grips poor baby: that dance of Johnny and Penny is not human.They are two athletes, with a physical climb that we understand is pure workers' euphoria, executing a torrent of thundily sexual movements.And allow me a personal incision: it is at this point where we can admire the best dance and the best Dirty Dancing dancer: Penny, that is, Cynthia Rhodes.In two dances, that of the restaurant, and that of the cabin, a Usain Bolt has been marked, setting world record and withdrawing at the top.

Otis Redding and his Love Man enter action, Johnny warns of Baby and it is at that time, when she must maintain the composure against that adonis of genetic perfection, sweating seas, and with her half -gala dress up open to locomas, when Baby expels his I Carried to Watermelon.Johnny, with the face of having proven, again, that the rich are idiots, return to the track but as a predator who has fun, returns to invite Baby to the dance floor.Again empathy in abundance: the poor baby, who has enough not to dilute in her own sweat and other body emulsions that, surely, spill at that time for her being, travel between the cup, between her dancer pissy, and aboutAll in a yes, but no, given the reality that he is dancing with the alpha male of the working area of Kellerman's.At the end of the number the poor is in shock.She carries with her mouth open 12 minutes.

The next day Baby, still floating, launches some innocent piropos to Penny to receive a reality lesson that leaves the pija bubble in which Baby still lives. Later we entered the event in which, it seems, few repaired at the time: Penny's abortion. After a new ridiculous, this time poor, by grandson Kellerman, Baby goes to the hotel kitchens and Baby realizes that Penny is on the ground, crying (but ... but, this is cruel. that he takes away from the grandson and long at full speed in the search for Billy and Johnny. Among all, although mixed with Puyitas to the origin of her, they put it up to her: Penny is pregnant with Robbie, a university waiter and one -dimensional in that she is an idiot in all the appearances of her. Baby takes advantage of her pijo side and that her father is a bit innocent and gets the money necessary for abortion. But there is a logistics problem: that same day Penny must dance with Johnny at another hotel. Challenge Accepthed for Baby: She will replace her. We strongly applaud Baby's ovaries. And her ploy: she motivated, of course, she is.

At that point Dirty Dancing muta in Rocky IV: Baby's technical progress in each essay, in the red cabin, maintaining balance in a trunk, jumping through a meadow or in the middle of a lake, emulates the rural deeds of the Italian foal. And at the same time the almost spiritual lessons of Johnny (unpayable the moment of heartbeat) emulate those of Miyagi San a Daniel San in Karate Kid. And all this goes to the fret when Penny comes into action: surely there is a technical reason for that moment with a sweating Johnny watching, and imagining go to know that, like Penny and Baby they dance in a kind of contest of impossible waist contest . I get lost. We culminate with another unforgettable moment in which Baby (and Jennifer Gray) mocks the implacable Johnny when he repeatedly tries to tingles in the area of the sobaco (probably the most affected in terms of aqueous emulsions in all those tests). As auction we point out that in these sessions to the Rocky/Miyagi/Penny, we have been able to verify that Baby is undeniably hars. But at the level of grateing hard bread in her gut. Awesome.

All of my tobacco went dry, watching youtube videos on how to rehydrate, apparently apple & orange peels out of the question.

The dance in question is reasonably well but, it does not matter, because we forget everything as soon as they return to the less noble area of Kellerman's: Penny's abortion has been a medical savage, it is made trizas, crying and dead of pain (enough ofPut on Penny crying, enough: we have a limit).Baby runs to look for her father and this relieves the situation a bit (in addition we will know that he visits Penny again) although, after her impeccable health management, he attacks Baby and her ... makeup of her.

With all this hustle Baby has lost his sleep and goes to Johnny's cabin.She is so enchanted that she even states that this red cabin is great when she, remember, lives in an extremely huge in front of the hotel.When Baby occurs to affirm that Johnny is all she attacks with a lament on the contrast between the complicated economic situation of her before summer and the condition of gigoló of her during this.She understands what they intend to tell us but the way in which Johnny is released by an extreme passage: of almost poverty to a situation in which she mentions women and diamonds in the same phrase.To be sorry for a, well Johnny, we could be worse.As expected, Baby hastened to launch the obvious enchanchment of her by Johnny and this replica with a dance in which we can affirm that they begin to fornicate even with the clothes on.Fantastic.

The next day Penny, who rests in his bed, receives Baby's visit first and Johnny later.We could stop our Dirty Dancing review to ask ourselves, seriously what the hell happens here.What are Penny and Johnny?Billy previously states that they are not a couple but they seem to love their own, the feeling of protector/protected is obvious (it is 1963 so we will not enter it), both are like two trains of merchandise of 28 wagons, they dance extraordinarily well and their ways,Commonction and gestures during their routines raise suspicions of synchrony in other places.But well, we will not say anymore.Well yes, go: they two form a much more logical couple than Johnny and Baby.Come on, it is said.

Baby at that time is already stopped and we can see how he leaves a desktop game with his father to go, again, to Johnny's cabin to retrace.After the exercise Johnny delights us with another monologue in which he is supposed to be sorry but the forms ... this time he tells us how rich women, who are fixed and smelled so well, give him the keys of his cabin.Two or three women other than the day.He states that they use him.And at the same time it seems that even that summer, she has continued to practice that risky sport.You confuse us, Johnny.

We approach the end.Johnny and Baby are a couple, they love each other, they take off, but the first receives a double moral blow in a matter of minutes: the mockery of the grandson Kellerman, in charge of the final dance dance, and the finding that Baby hides their relationship in front of theirfathers.The one who pays the dishes, deservedly, is Bobby.That guy who has injured Penny.The fight is something ridiculous and Johnny claims to forgive his life with just a few blows.More, we wanted more, we wanted Robbie swimming upstream.With Penny it is not played.

The scenes prior to the grand final run between a horrifying sample of criminal song by Baby's sister, Johnny's dream of being like the pijos and the accusation, by a scorched cock that hunt the couple leaving the cabin, about Johnny being a thief.Although Baby confesses Johnny's perfect alibi (Pope, Johnny could not be because your little daughter was challenging him all night haha) this is equally fired by Kellerman’s's carca dome.Johnny says goodbye to Baby while she sounds the she ’s Like the Wind, written and sung by Patrick Swayze himself.Goate time?

The final, definitive dance of Dirty Dancing deserves an award.From the entrance because the horrible, horrifying, vomitive final number perpetrated by the main flat of the place is cut off.During this torment Baby's father realizes, at last, that it was Robbie who left Penny pregnant.Total that Johnny makes an appearance and releases the most remembered and at the same time ridiculous phrase of the film: Nobody Puts Baby in A Corner.

Johnny grabs Baby (her father makes a threat of going for her but her wife, who wants to see what happens, stops her) and after another very poor cheesy speech about the mahatma gandhi in which Baby seems to have become, theOriginal dance, now complete and perfected, which they had to interpret at that hotel.The reactions, and that is another reason for prize, are glorious: the happy sister, the surprised mother, the father seems to calculate a huge amount of variables, the Pijo-Carca sector admires the young couple and the worker sector is climbing herDesire to turn the room into one of its wild parties.We must reserve a special mention to the blonde girl who shouts wildly.

The dance that closes Dirty Dancing is so perfect (despite the sudden changes of hairstyle and capillary sweating of Johnny) that this time Baby gets what he could not in the hotel: the final jump on Johnny's powerful arms.Everything is happiness, the Workers Section invites you to dance to the Pijos, and Baby's father admits that he was completely wrong.Apparently the dance has emerged a curious effect.That is, what happened in that dance so that suddenly Baby's father is happy and even puts on dancing like a possessed?

We finish this tochco on Dirty Dancing with the best duo throughout this final dance: yes, Penny and the old orchestra director, Tito, calibrating waist movements.Fantasic.
