#BEE GEES SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER SPECIAL UPDATE#

I like what Paramount did with discвЂ™s menu, using a mirror ball to show images and scenes from the film while вЂњStaying AliveвЂќ plays on. Inside the eco-friendly case youвЂ™ll find a pretty funny insert sheet reminding you that вЂњThe Original Soundtrack is OUT NOW.вЂќ Got it!

ItвЂ™s shiny and full of multi-colored dance floor squares though, so thereвЂ™s no mistaking the movie youвЂ™re holding. This sucked me out of the moment a little, as I then realized they probably filmed the scenes with no music on whatsoever, which then had me analyzing the dance moves to see if they were actually being done in step to the beat of the song.ДЇor the packaging, a new slipcase has been created, which oddly removes John TravoltaвЂ™s face from the cover. One original sound design flaw I noticed was hearing various noises during the dance club scenes (like hand claps) with the music blaring.

An update to the surround sound mix was also performed for the DirectorвЂ™s Cut.

#BEE GEES SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER SPECIAL 1080P#

Saturday Night Fever вЂ“ DirectorвЂ™s Cut is presented in 1080p and 5.1 Dolby TrueHD, and thankfully, for a movie that relies so much on its music, it sounds great and the dialogue is clear. This is a grainy film that seemingly was never going to be able to pop out of its 70s-era video quality, unlike, say, the Jaws Blu-ray. Knowing that the film was restored in 4K using the original negative, IвЂ™ll admit I was a little disappointed as soon as I saw the opening shot of the New York City skyline. If youвЂ™re looking for a slice of the 70s, just go with the Bee Gees. On the bright side, this is one of the greatest soundtracks in film history, with every song still quite capable of getting your head nodding. ItвЂ™s only after a supporting characterвЂ™s death coupled with a rigged dance contest that Tony sees there may be more to life than name-calling and doing The Hustle. Between the up-pants shots of Travolta, the unlikable characters, and the meandering storyline, Saturday Night Fever has nothing of value to offer todayвЂ™s viewer except for 70s satire. That anyone holds this film in high regard must be because of when they saw it and the music, because thereвЂ™s nothing вЂњclassicвЂќ about the plot, characters, or pacing. The future f**ks you!вЂќ It was tied up at 6 before I lost track.ДЄdvertisements This is a new DirectorвЂ™s Cut of the film which is said to вЂњround out the character and plotвЂќ with added scenes, but I cannot report noticing any rounded out characters. For every вЂњHow Deep is Your LoveвЂќ thereвЂ™s a вЂњYou canвЂ™t f**k the future. Instead, I passed the time by keeping score between the filmвЂ™s great songs and horrible lines. I understand this was a different era and weвЂ™re supposed to be getting a вЂњrealвЂќ look at a rough slice of lower middle-class Italian-Americans, but good lord, itвЂ™s impossible to root for any of these people. Other than that, hey, these really are some good kids! Learn that tango two-step, Tony! Go for your dreams! Oh and heвЂ™s the ringleader of his buddies a group of drug-abusing, women-harassing, gay-taunting, slur-spewing punks who also dabble in rape. To his parents, to a girl who has a crush on him, and to a new girl he wants to dance with-jerks to them all. John Travolta plays Tony Manero, a 19-year-old Brooklynite who works in a hardware store and can dance well. What I got from it was simply an odd and crude tale plucked from the disco era. I was under the impression that this was a raw, poignant tale about a working-class kid who lives to dance and dreams big. I was riding Big Wheels when it came out in 1977 and I generally love all things 70s, but as iconic as the film is, I had never seen more than a few minutes of it. Mind you, this isnвЂ™t hyperbole from a hip 20-something. While the famous soundtrack still sounds great, if you watch this movie вЂ“ as I did вЂ“ without the warm glow of nostalgia coloring your experience, youвЂ™ll likely find it to be brutally bad. ItвЂ™s been 40 years since Saturday Night Fever was released, and IвЂ™m here to say polyester leisure suits have held up far better.
