You need To Check this Urban Cowboy John Travolta
Even if you're not a fan of the Country/Western culture, you'll like UC. It's an entertaining film despite its simpering, too-cutesy women, cheesy trailer parks, and overabundance of testosterone.Having been raised a Yankee and a strict Catholic, and still both to this day, I found this movie to be an interesting introduction to a different culture the first time I watched it as a teenager. In contrast to my own austere culture, I saw Houston, Texas as a place were every man was a cowboy and could dance and charm women every bit as well as he could drink, brawl, and ride the mechanical bull. As for the women, they were all flirty and outgoing, sins which the nuns in school cautioned us against. And, the big shocker, most of the people lived in a trailer park and not in a twin home! Imagine that!I would have dismissed the movie as merely a glorified saga of life in a white-trash world, but it was too engrossing. Here we have Bud, struggling to make a new life in Houston at the oil refinery, and Sissy, the quintessential country girl who's the best dancer at her CW nightclub, where she meets Bud and succumbs to his charms. Then there's Pam, the rich girl who can have anything and anyone she wants, and Wes, the charismatic ex-con who sets his hat at Sissy. They and, it seems, all of Houston hang out at Gilley's, the aforementioned nightclub, where the fists, beer, two-steppers, and testosterone fly. I found the characters and the story to be too interesting to dismiss, even if the culture was vasty different from my own. Therefore, I think UC is a crossover film that appeals to people of different cultures, musical preferences, and geographic locations.

I just want to know if someone knows what the difference is in Country Swing Dancing and Country Dancing. Or is it one and the same? I'm going to take a girl on a date and I want to make sure I go to the right type of dancing. I go to a place that says Country Swing Dancing, so I knew that. But I don't know if I take her to place that says Country Dancing if it'll be the same. Please help! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWell, I am a big John Travolta fan, and I know about Michael the Archangel in the bible. I saw is movies Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Urban cowboy, Pulp Fiction, Get Shorty, and I want to see From Paris With Love! And I loved all of them! And I typed in JT movies on google and i read the summary and stuff and it looked good! So, can anybody give me some comments on the quality of the movie?
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of on the fence about it. I liked Pulp Fiction and all but I thinking the whole new movie was made just so he could say "Royal with cheese".
ReplyDeleteIn the movie Urban Cowboy, did John Travolta ride the bull in real life or was that a stunt double?
ReplyDeleteI'm a college student, grew up in a rural, country environment, so I love the music. Since I started college, I've been going out more to country bars and clubs. I know how to two-step fairly well, and I know some line dances; what I want to learn is the dance I always see where the guy is swinging the girl around, dipping her, and such. I've picked up some of it just from watching others, but I'd really like to know the name of this dance, and how/where I could learn it.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the name of the song playing in Urban Cowboy when John Travolta and Debra Winger first meet and also dance to. Please don't send me a track list of the soundtrack that doesn't help. I have looked at it and don't recognize the song. I don't think it made the soundtrack. It only plays for a few seconds. (this is early in the film when he still has his beard.) Thank you!
