INITIALLY, I told myself it would be a several page analysis. Three weeks and 55-pages later, I may have ended up writing a doctoral thesis. So I guess you could say The World According to Grease is an Esoteric Analysis unlike any you’ve ever read before.
Grease is first and foremost a musical but don’t let appearances fool you. It is also an existential crisis movie involving preexistence, soul flames, the subconscious, mistaken identity, rediscovery, transformation, and a particular favorite of mine, the feminine divine. Given that it doesn’t even try to hide from the princess architype, you can be certain that Carl Jung will play a heavy hand in its undercurrent.
The World According to Grease is a scene-for-scene analysis which aims to completely reshape the way you’ve viewed this movie. Be sure to pick up a copy in the TUC Store!
