As much as we keep coming back to Emile Ardolino’s 1987 film for the iconic romance, Patrick Swayze, and of course, the dancing, there’s a deeper meaning in Frances “Baby” Houseman’s character arc that explains why this story has struck a chord for so many viewers ever since its release. Frances’ progression from “Baby” to woman is a symbolic awakening into her femininity and sexuality-a coming-of-age expressed as coming into one’s own body. As Baby takes ownership of her desires and physicality, she achieves confidence, maturity and purpose. Here's our Take on Dirty Dancing’s timeless insights into the young female experience.

At least they didn't call her and say "Are you lost baby girl?"
Slow clap
LMAO, I understood that reference.
Don't worry baby girl, i won't touch you until I feel like it.
yuki, who loves Emilia. What the fuck
@@deflatedasscheeks8624 basically the movie summed up 😂.
I love that the actress is more or less average looking. Don't get me wrong, i think the actress is beautiful but she's has a very natural and down to earth, girlish look that just feels so much easier to relate to
I agree!
It's rare to see that in the media Now days
it's so saddening that she got plastic surgery. apparently she got less roles after her procedure
Nowadays she would be barely cast as a sassy-not-very-attractive best friend
@@natalyamartirosyan yes! I feel like if the film were done today "baby" would have been played by a young Instagram model looking girl where we would all have to just pretend that she was average looking
Baby was the embodiment of the strong, sensible woman we want to inspire girls.
She admires the blonde dancer for her talent, never feels threatened or jealous of her close relationship with the guy.
She helps her, a stranger in distress, to get an abortion, uses her own money and when things get tough, she sets aside her fear of punishment and thrusts this secret to his father to help her.
She is emotionally mature enough to have umcomfortable or difficult conversations in a healthy way. Like when her father is angry and dissapointed at her, and she is the first one to start a dialogue with him, although he is the adult.
Thw movie shows her curiosity and sexual awakening in a mature, realistic way. And she is not being sexualized in the proccess.
Perfect
Can we talk about how woke this film is? The entire premise is about a girl helping another girl needing an abortion and she's never shamed for needing it, no one treats her badly for it, they all rally behind her, even Baby's father helps her. Like whoa.
Woke in many ways; totally dormant in others. The culturally diverse story it could have included would've sealed it as being 100% socially and racially aware. Set in the 1960s, it easily could've had some African Americans in service hospitality; (since the US had lawful Segregation at the time, it's understandable all the guests were white. No excuse for the "below stairs" being virtually all white also though). Equally, the appropriation of a Central and South American amalgamated originated dance, seen to be taught and mastered by only white people, takes away it's completely "woke" credentials. I have to say though, I don't expect anything more from a 1980s Hollywood movie, so it doesn't affect my love of the movie.
wait *that's* what the movie's about? wow i never knew that. i want 2 watch it now
@@Chris-rg6nm the premise can be progressive while their age disparity can be problematic at the same time 🤷♀️
poeticjustice1000 It’s not as diverse as it could be, true, but there is a black couple in service who are shown as completely integrated in the dirty dancing party who are seen in later scenes and the music conductor is also African-American and he’s treated by Max Kellerman as a confidante with a secret cache of modern sheet music at the end.
@@arieldiaz4607 two background characters (who are paired with each other) and a smiling Black Confidant in a subordinate role kinda screams tokenism and pointing it out doesn't really work as a defense of the film's diversity. Like poeticjustice said, though, it's an 80s movie about white people. It's done, it can't be edited any further, and we don't expect it to be more than it is. Talking about this isn't an attack and it doesn't need to be defended against. I love this movie and it sounds like poeticjustice and the ladies who wrote this video do, too.
I adore how this movie isn't just a coming of age story for Baby, but for her father as well. It reminds me a little of "Finding Nemo", on that the parent gradually learns to let go of their child, and watch them thrive. 💖👶💃
Aww this comment made me want to rewatch it again
that's a great comparison imma go watch finding nemo too LOL
In finding Nemo, if it was cientificaly acurrate, when the mother died, Marlin should have become a female & then mated with Nemo🤓🤓🤓
@@alejandrocervantes3624 so edgy. Doesnt everyone know that by now?
Princesa Wasn’t Finding Nemo about the stages of grief? When he waves him goodbye at the end it’s so dramatic like he’s not seeing him again a couple of hours later, so it makes sense
It just occured to me Baby’s mother is none other than Emily Gilmore!
I know, I was spooked when I realized that Emily and Marjorie were one and the same! 😲😅 In fact, Kelly Bishop was a last minute replacement for another actress.
Shame she never got to show her dance moves.
omg yess
I never noticed that!
I know! Cool, right?
such a refreshing perspective on womanhood (:
Carrie is a good story about a shy girl who ends up becoming confident by the end but I don't think I am gonna spoil anything else ;)
I want to achieve that when writing my main characters and side characters too.
I have just watched this a few days ago. It’s so funny how the movie is supposed to play in the 60‘s but all the hairstyles and fashion is typically 80‘s
True. A lot of movies that take place in other periods don't bother trying to really be true to the time. I think sometimes that has to do with the budget. Dirty Dancing has some 60s fashions in it. But it is like watching the tv shows Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley in their later years. When those shows stared in the 70s and took place in the 50s they originally tried to have clothing and hair that matched the time period. But as time went on the hair and clothing no longer looked right.
Facts
So that may be the reason why I always feel this move could be set on this world's timeline, but it seems quite off. (Can't explain what I mean very well in English. Oops)
Interestingly it's pretty much the same in Titanic. Though the costumes are quite accurate the makeup is full-on nineties 😅
I had no idea it's supposed to be in the 60s, nothing looks like the 60s esthetic
I had no idea until recently that Jennifer Grey was 27 playing Baby at 17, nor that she and Patrick Swayze had a difficult relationship off screen, while playing love interests. Just goes to show how skilled they both were at acting! 🎭💖
I was surprised too.
They dated later in life tho.
@Bill Whittaker even as a kid I always noticed they were so old lol I think the youngest ones were Danny at 23 and Putzie and Marty, both 21.
Rachel McAddams was 26 when playing a 16 year old on Mean Girls
Marissa Wilson, no they didn’t Patrick was married during the time of dirty dancing. And Jennifer dated Matthew Broderick during that time.
It must be pretty cool to be apart of multiple certified classics. Jennifer Grey was in Ferris Bueller AND Dirty Dancing. She'll literally be viewed and watched till the end of time.
Precisely, Jeanie and Baby are two drastically different characters, yet Jennifer was fantastic at playing both of them, and creating diverse energies in them both! 👌💗
Don't forget Red Dawn! _WOLVERINES!_
Good point~!~
She's lovely~
A great performer--!
So **charming** & heartfelt~*
I found it sad she saw the need to get a nose job after those movies. I think it made her unique
One of my favorite late-night-with-ice-cream movies. I like how Baby is naive, but not dumb, and the film is sexy without it being some kind of creepy male-gaze unrealistic fantasy of a woman, instead her taking charge herself.
I feel like this is a film that conservative girls (of which I'm not one, but I've known a few), who get cut off at the knees by their family and environment from their own bodies and sexuality, should see. They should learn that there's no shame in exploring it fully.
I agree!
I’m a conservative woman and this does tend to be a problem in my social circles especially with my church background. My best friend showed me this movie when I was 14 adamant I watch it. We really enjoyed it and now almost 10 years later I rediscovered it with a whole new appreciation.
It’s a steamy movie for sure but it’s just one aspect of the complex, mature relationship Johnny and Baby have. I think that’s why my friend was insistent on not fast forwarding through “those scenes” and making sure I got the context.
the Take really pumping out quality content consistenly
Agree.
They are the first You Tube channel I have ever financially supported. Long may the entertain/inform us!
agree, I love this channel so much
True, and I'm enjoying it.
A feminist film. I really appreciate how it wasn't saturated with the "male-gaze" and it really was framed from Francis' perspective, the protagonist, as her story, as she has her life-changing experiences here. [Edited for clarity.]
Im so glad they did that because not many movies do that. Even if a movie is about a woman coming into their own sexuality it's normally through a male lense and framed that it's for men
Well, the movie was written by a heterosexual woman (Eleanor Bergstein) and directed by a gay man (Emile Ardolino), hence all of the scenes of Patrick Swayze being shirtless.
@@beethovensfidelio HAHAHA!
I think something really interesting about Dirty Dancing, other than watching Baby blossom from a shy and insecure girl to a confident woman, was her’s and Johnny’s relationship (not necessarily in a romantic sense). They both have entirely different perspectives on life due to different upbringings and lifestyles, but also differing perspectives of each other. It’s evident from the beginning that Baby is incredibly infatuated with Johnny and finds him charming and thinks he’s “too cool” for her. However, when Baby goes back to his place the night they performed at the Sheldrake, it’s revealed that Johnny thinks Baby’s amazing and he even thinks she’s “too good” for him. They both see something in each other that the other doesn’t see and they both think the other is better than them. It’s kind of ironic. I just find that incredibly interesting and I think that really helped them both to grow as human beings. They both help each other see another side of themselves that they didn’t realize they were or were capable of being. And I think that’s really important when it comes to a true partner, or a true friend.
Also, they both have mastered something that the other hasn’t. It’s obvious that Johnny has mastered his body. Through dancing, he has gained full-control of his body which helps him carry himself confidently, and he eventually helps Baby to do the same. Meanwhile, Baby has pretty much mastered her mind and heart. She is in touch with her emotions and her mind and she has a strong moral compass. She isn’t afraid to stand up for what is right and isn’t afraid to stand up for the people she cares about. We see that when she stands up for Penny and Lisa when she discovers what a slime ball Robbie is. She’s mastered courage. And Johnny is able to take what he’s learned from Baby and he’s able to stand up for himself and Baby. He stands up to Baby’s father and he stands up for himself and the other dancers at the end of the film during the iconic dance scene.
So, it’s interesting to see how Baby finally grows into a woman, however, it’s even more interesting to see how Johnny and Baby help each other grow. It’s a relationship that probably didn’t last forever, but it demonstrates how people help each other out whether it be partners or friends. How the right people in our lives, regardless if they’ve been in our lives for a long time or are new to our lives, can share their knowledge and expertise with us and can help us to grow and reach our potential. We even see how Johnny’s friends Penny and Billy helped Baby grow, and vice versa, Baby helps Penny and Billy grow.
SPOT ON !!! they both learn a lot from each other and i agree he thought she was "too good" for her yet also remember the scene when he sort of got mad at her when she didn't wanna tell her dad that they were together due to the prejudices he had towards the kind of background johnny came from (and also because of the incident that occurred)and when he punched robbie for making a slutshaming remark towards her (when robbie mocks her by saying that's okay baby i go slummin ((aka sleeping around,)) too) that has to be one of my favorite scenes in the movie as i recall it in my head, going back to the post sheldrake scene he tells her the reason why he's never felt like anything that mattered was because of how people see him as nothing else but she then reassures that someone out there cares for him (when she goes and says "that's not true, you're everything!") also if you think about it towards the end they both don't see each other as no more or less than one another, and i've always loved that.
@@theladyprincess Just to clarify further, slumming implies an affluent person sleeping with someone “beneath” them; it’s fetishizing and demeaning.
I love that they both add something to the other. She helps him develop self respect, while he helps her realise her own sexuality. Regardless of what has after the events of the film, both characters are better humans for the experience......there are even hints that her sister, father, and maybe even some of the managers learned something.
It's a pity Patrick Swayze isn't with us, it was one of his most famous roles.
I know, I'll always associate this movie, "The Outsiders" and "Ghost" with Swayze, to name a handful! 👻🖤
@@trinaq Me the same.
I loved him in "Donnie Darko"
edit: NOT his character - his performance ^^
@@elisamaza8909 I believe
I watched his bio. He was definitely an interesting and unique guy. He loved his wife even though they struggled to conceive and he was a serious sex symbol. And he loved dancing even though he was a cowboy with a ranch. He seemed like he was a great person even though his status could have made him an a*hole.
I am crying in the best way possible! I LOVED this movie and still do. I wonder if part of the reason I connected with it so much was because it WAS sex positive in an understated way? Not that I realized that at 15, but you know what I mean. Most "romantic" movies wound up with the female lead blubbering her eyes out! Yup. A great, positive film.
And now, a real-life Patrick Swayze story:
A friend of mine was attending her cousin's wedding, and the groom was related to Patrick Swayze, who was in attendance. This was well past his heyday (around 04, if memory serves). and he and his wife were there, just like "normal" people. My friend, like me, grew up on Dirty Dancing and made up her mind. She quickly downed her drink (she needed the nerve) and walked with, what she hoped was a semblance of grace, to his table. "Excuse me. Mr Swayze? I am So and So and I will hate myself if I don't do this. Would you please do me the honor of dancing with me, if your wife doesn't mind, of course?" They smiled at each other and he said "Lisa do you mind?" Lisa chuckled and said "So and So, please dance with my husband. He would be delighted to" They danced for three songs and he was every bit the gentleman you would hope.
To this day, she says that was the best wedding she ever attended - including her own in 2012!
Now thats a great story!
Oh my God, that made me Aawww out loud & tear up a little. What a lucky lady! 😍
Awww 🥺❤️
Wow! That is an amazing story and memory for your friend. He was such a beautiful man and wonderful dancer
Where is my hot female dance teacher to do this "sexual awakening and introduction into manhood by dance with me". I guess she will show up any minute now. :D I think it is a quite positive movie though.
My mom loved the hell out of this movie I think this is one of her favorite movies until the Titanic came out. And she loved Titanic so much she went and bought the soundtrack. Which is basically five and a half hours of music you can sink a boat to.
😂
🤣
My grandma loves this movie so much she made me and my siblings watch it 😂
"five and a half hours of music you can sink a boat to"
OMG I love that so much!!!
I’ve got the soundtrack on vinyl lmao
'That was the summer of 1963, when everyone kept calling me baby and it didn't occur to me, to mind'.
That intro really hit me just now. It's such an unimaginable statement for a girl her age, nowadays.
When i was 10 or 11 people call me baby and i hated cuz i wanted to grow up so fast, now i'm 16 and i want to stay child
@@agnessofiacastrocarvalho774
I don't blame you. It's not the easiest time to become an adult, right now. Life was a great deal less 'complicated', when I was a teen in the 90s. I mean, we had the usual 'issues' of teenagers to deal with of course...and some of us the unavoidable personal tragedies, that sometimes befall people...but man. Today's world is such a complicated mess, compared.
On the other hand: what wouldn't I give, to be young again....😆
This was my grandma’s favorite movie. It’s the only movie she’d watch once her Alzheimer’s got real bad. She had the biggest crush on Swayze and mentioned that every time we put the movie on for her.
Aww!
That’s sweet.
That's a heartworming story! Your grandma had good taste in movies and men☺️
My dad hates this movie and would never let me watch it as a kid. It was like his worse nightmare...anyways I felt bad for Lisa in this movie. She seems kind of neglected by the parents and desperate for attention and approval.
When I was young I complained that she was some shallow girly girl who is all about her looks. But as a 30 years old I feel sorry, she has no musical talent or rhythm and could be ridiculed while she wants positive attention. She is hung up on her looks because she was reduced to them.
Jessica Victoria Carrillo I feel exactly the same. When I was younger i was like she’s just the shallow sister who is already favored by the parents but now at 32 see it completely differently.
My dad is the one who showed me this movie. It’s apparently one of his favorites. He’s been wanting to have me see it for a long time and I was pretty surprised.
Woah, THAT’S why I as a young woman love this sexy movie more than others! There are tons of “sexy movies“ out there, but nearly all of them are framed for the male gaze. I’d never realized that this one plays almost exclusively to the female gaze, which feels so much more relatable to me.
_Especially_ since the whole storyline is relatable to me; I had a similar experience of discovering and awakening my own sexuality and sensuality not that long ago. He also only stayed for a month. But I have never felt so alive in all my 22 years as I did in that month. And though it ended bittersweetly, I would still never trade that month for anything, because the majority of those memories are happy, and taught me so much about myself.
The thing I always find amazing about this movie is the way they handle the goodbye scene. No one is crying over the only love that will ever happen or that they wont ever meet again. Baby and Johnny look back on what they had and then they separate thinking it's over just to see each other by the end of the movie. Everyone understands this is life and it's better to appreciate good memories than focus on the journey ending couse by the end of the day nothin really ends
In the remake, they meet again in a theater or smth where Johnny performs or something and they are middle aged, she's married and has kids or smth
@paulinastruminska8... I know what that feels like. There was a nurse called Danny in fazakerley hospital and i fell in love with him but the night before the strictly final 2021 i got discharged from hospital and missed him until a year later
I've long loved this movie but struggled to describe what makes it great -- thank you for putting that into words. As I've grown up, I've come to identify more with Baby's character journey and find personal meaning in it.
Best dance film ever. Strong story that isn't formulaic or predictable. Good acting. Amazing dancing. Having all 3 of those is rare in a dance film.
Dirty Dancing is one of those movies that I gladly watch every time it's on. I remember watching it for the first time as an awkward tween and feeling such a strong connection to Baby's apparent discomfort in her own body.
To see her journey throughout the film, now as an adult, I can appreciate just how lucky so many girls of my generation were to have a film that showed a young woman taking charge of her life, body and sexuality without some kind of tragic ending.
I'm looking forward to the next time I get to watch it through this analytical lens.
Great job, as always!!
Great analysis! The celebration of becoming a sexually active woman is not something very common
My mom had forced me to watch this not that long ago and I didn’t enjoy it and didn’t even finish the film yet I never understood why. Yet after watching this it’s clear. I couldn’t enjoy it cause I could see baby as a younger version of myself who was treated bellow all the time and I hated seeing that. I wanted baby to take the lead in the dancing, to stand up for herself because that’s what I wanted from myself. Thanks for this I finally understand the problem.
Since the black lives matter movement boom, I've noticed that this chanel has started incorporating issues of race into all their videos, and I just want to say I think it's really great, and an amazing way that the women who run it are using their privelage for positive change ✊🏾👏🏾
I already know the deeper meaning: Nobody puts Baby in the corner!
👊💃
I love this movie. I like how Johnny does the "come here" finger at each of the main turning points in the love story.
This analysis made me watch the movie again yesterday. The way Patrick Swayze jumps in the last dance scene is incredible. Both Baby and Johnny have to mature emotionally to stay together in the end. I think that’s why it’s so popular because the characters grow and evolve because of their love and standing up for one another. And they didn’t stay the same.
My cousin and her husband actually did that dance for their wedding, it was so beautiful
their chemistry was everything
Ever since I saw the movie in the early 90's (i remember I watched it every day on a VHS) I was blown away, I was lil kid tho. Up until today I can still say this movie is in my most favorite film list of all time. And watching the dissection of it now, really makes sense to me why I was so hooked on it.
i love the take! when i was young I though movies were just something to look at but I realized that there are more dimensions to it other than how it makes you feel after.
No there is not
@@madt13g4 to you
Me: 1987, age 17: Baby's dad needs to chill tf out
Me: 2020, age 51: (with 4 Zoomer daughters) I see his POV now
So true...
I never understood why I loved this movie so much as a kid but it really shaped how I saw myself in this world subconsciously. I really wish you went into detail about how dirty dancing derived from African American culture because it’s something I’ve never heard but definitely seen and felt when watching the dirty dancing scenes
Sometimes when I hear the famous song "I Had The Time of My Life", I get tears in my eyes because of the father-daughter relationship theme (I'm 21) and I love my father. And fathers see their daughter grow up. Beautiful
Damn why did I just cry watching this video? I looove the relationship between Baby and her dad because it reminds me of mine and my dad’s relationship even though I still doubt I could ever get a guy as great as my dad.

"The class entitlement is so extreme it's almost cartoonish."
Uhm, no. That is in fact how many elites act or view themselves. They think class is something that defines their own worth. Don't get this twisted for one second.
Lol you probably can't even tell an actual rich person in a crowd. Most of them are unassuming and fly under the radar. The people who act rich but are kinda poor irl are the ones you think are the elites
@@COVID--kf3tx yeah ... In today's American society? Nope. The elites are the ones who complain in news articles how it's 'almost impossible to get by in NY with less than 190 million'. Yup, that was an article a few years back ...
There was a lot of inverted snobbery as well from the entertainment staff towards the guests and waiters.
Dancing is to Francis what yoga is to me. A way to loosen up the stiffness in my body and gain control over my muscles.
A former girlfriend of mine had me watch this, being her favorite movie. I couldn't really get into it at the time. I think part of the problem is that Jennifer Grey (then 26) was so good at playing younger that I thought she was 16 rather than 18, and the idea of a statutory romance made Johnny seem like a predator, even despite Baby coming into her own.
Even if she was 16, Johnny doesn't display any predatory behavior. There are cases where teen girls (and boys) aren't mentally/emotionally mature enough to have sex with someone their own age, let alone someone older, but others are. In this movie, we follow this relationship step by step. We see that there's no manipulation nor an unbalanced dynamic. The romance develops naturally.

Im shocked again and again when i remember that Emily Gilmore is also Baby’s mom
I love this
Am I the only one who also enjoyed Dirty Dancing Havana Nights?? Like the soundtrack was sooo good.
Only watched it recently bc mum hated it so I never thought it would be good but then I finally watched it and completely fell in love with it. Not as good as the original but stands up as a good movie on its own
Wow. I saw this in 1987 when I was 16. Over the years I could sense quite a bit of what you point out but the focus in my mind was still the dancing, romance, and music. Baby was a pretty good role model. Even at my age I have never been as bold in my idealism as she was in the movie. Only in recent years did I learn about Ayn Rand. Yet she was there in the movie all along. I guess the movie was a bit more intellectual behind it all. Great video! All of yours are top notch and probably the best created content analysing movies and tv I have seen. I love how you bring in the whole history of film when you approach these subjects. And you got me to watch some things I had not gotten around to like Bridesmaids and Parks and Recreation. Keep up the great work!
What an amazing year to be 16, I wish I could have experienced that
Ayn Rand was not in the film. It's not about libertarianism but sexual awakening.
@@lemsip207 yes Robby mentioned reading the Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
@@creatinotionchannel2680 It was used to prove that he was self centred. As he turned out to be. He was the one who was cheating on Baby's sister. I must have blinked and missed the part when he mentioned that book.
@@creatinotionchannel2680 It was used as a way to describe a certain character rather than push a message.
Please do a take on Samantha Jones from SATC. She's such an inspiring character and was such a cultural icon in the late 90s! It was wonderful to see a woman in her 40s as liberated, not a spinster.
Yes, please.
This video essay is fascinating. I haven’t watched Dirty Dancing since I was a kid but this makes me want to watch it again as a grown man.
I grew up obsessed with this film. Thank you for doing it justice and giving me something to share with the next person that rolls their eyes at my love for it
Usually as you get older you realize the old movies you watch were bad but this time it’s great glad I watched this it made me love the movie more!!
I don’t care what anyone says, Baby and Johnny joined the Peace Corp together and taught the world to dance afterward 😭
Do you know how to dance?
The deeper meaning of Dirty Dancing is don't get a nose-job changing your most distinctive feature right as your acting career is taking off.
Savage
@@rohmann000 That was most unfortunate. But she went to the wrong surgeon! A "good" nose job would have been much more subtle and would not have rendered her unrecognizable. It was a bit like Renee Zellweger having all that work done. Jennifer G. should go to Dr. Massif on BOTCHED! He can rebuild a plausible nose from practically nothing. But I think she DID have a revision to try to fix the damage, and it didn't work.
ferociousgumby just goes to show: people gotta become more comfortable with how they look and accept themselves for who they are!
@@rohmann000 Sadly if anything, our culture is going in the opposite direction. If you go on Instagram all the aspring models and actresses all look the same, i.e. they appear to be emulating the Kardashian massive facial surgery aesthetic (if you can even call those monstrosities of humans aesthetic).
Jeez, man. 😂
omg i didnt know i needed this
to the take we say thank you
This has been my favorite movie since I was a kid. And to see these amazing insights into it is really beautiful. Thanks
It stills amazes me that this movie received mixed reviews when it first came out, because it was so good and the more the time passes, the more people are recognizing the merits it has.
Because the movie has a lot of flaws. However, literally no movie is perfect. What makes one a classic is when the positive aspects have a bigger impact on people than the negative ones.
this was one of my favorites Take videos!! its so good i love this perspective💕
Amazing writing, it was a very insightful video as usual loves this channel ❤️
I love this movie so much and now I wanna rewatch it and notice some of the little things mentioned I never noticed originally. Great video as always. The Take never disappoints.
This new narrator's been doing a lot of videos. Maybe she deserves to be shown in the intro with her name and face being shown.

I'm not sure why this analysis made me cry. This is a well-written study of a fun movie.

Great analysis! Loved the movie and love this video!
This take was exceptional!; so many insights. I was too young when the film came out to understand the subtext but plan to give it a rewatch.
LOVE. Thank you for making this!
Yes! This is one of my favourite movies! Thank you so much for analyzing what makes it so great.
It also has a rocking soundtrack!
THIS WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I needed to see this today, I never saw the film this way. So empowering
Absolutely love this classic film
Ditto, it always makes me weep, and is classically "Feel Good". 💖
Just wanted to say that I rewatched the movie because of this video, and learning the actual themes made it sooo much more engaging and emotional! ❤️😭
My, word! I loved this movie as a kid but haven't had the urge to rewatch for quiiiiite some time. Now I must find it and appreciate the story within this framing. Thanks for another gem, yous guys!👊🏾
I love this channel, I love this video, and I feel so happy!!!
I love this analysis. Thank you!
Really like how you talk about and share the take.
Just rewatched this yesterday actually, love it
Resonates 😇 I am in love with the meaning of this movie. It seems like what I've passed through. What I remember of representing. This makes myself very touched/emotinal, happy & proud of who inspired this motion.
I have always loved this movie. This was a really good video!
Such a great video!❤️❤️🤗
This was one of my favorite and when she was learning to dance in the studio with Jonny and Penny she was jealous of those two together
*Great video and excellent taste in choosing the film*
I like how they do the appearances are deceiving trope. Dr Houseman prefers Robby at first because he looks respectable and judges Johnny because he’s working class but then he sees that Johnny is more honorable than the higher class people
I have never seen Dirty Dancing but through this lens, i’m excited to finally see it.
I could have NOT said it better! YOU were definitely spot on on every level of analogy! As a former teacher you were grrreat! YOU did your homework! YOU got an A plus! Grrrreat!
Are y’all going to do one on Hereditary? Love the content!!
Wow, I've never recognised all of this!
Uh. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a healthy relationship with your father and have a healthy romantic relationship...
Don’t know if this is explaining a deeper meaning or just retelling the story...baby maturing seemed to be the central plot
But didn’t even think to check who was involved in creating the movie. Good to know it was written by a woman. It shows
Kind of rare you see both
🙌 You put into words the reasons why I love this movie
I love these videos!!!
I have been waiting for this vid. I had a feeling it would be one of your next covered. Let’s see what u got 🤔
Literally just watched this movie for the first time and this video makes me appreciate it much more
I love this so much, such a great film. I appreciate the messages. ❤ classic forever
This is my favorite chanel
This was a great explanation. We don't have a lot of movies showing and celebrating evolution of a woman in all aspects so beautifully!
OMG OMG OMG😍 thank you!!!!
yesss this movie is everything!
😭 I got a Golden Ticket (Free Skillshare Trial + 40% off my first year)!!! And from a Take of one of my favorite coming-of-age films, no less (Kiki's Delivery Service is hard to top. On that note, Miyazaki-san is a low-key-high-key Feminist Icon, good idea for a Take, maybe)!
Thanks for Everything, Ladies 💕 Y'all do such great work. Being conscious about the messages in the media we consume helps us to be more aware of our otherwise subliminally conditioned patterns of thought and behavior! Spell. It. OUT, Qweenz!!
damn this video makes me want to connect with my body n physicality on a deeper level but i have no idea how help pls
Take up dancing! I’ve loved dancing since I took my first class at the age of 4. It’s really amazing how you can express so many different emotions just through the way your body moves. Think of it as art.
To get in touch with yourself as a sensual being means getting in touch with your physical body, your creative mind, a nurturing spirit, a desire to be seen and to honor your instincts. It requires you to slow down and really be present. Anything you do where you can accomplish those goals will help you be more in touch with your body and physical presence. Also eat well and make sure to get plenty of rest!
Journal and reflect on your emotions & on meaningful interactions or when you try something new. How you felt physically and emotionally. You’ve got it in you you just have to become aware of yourself. Stay beautiful rianka!
@@MalloryNewcomb thank you SO much !!!!! 🥺💓
@@riankagill pleasure to help, it’s a journey I’m on myself and that’s really a bit of a lifelong continual journey from what I understand
It’s a challenge in such a technology driven, logic driven culture to get out of our heads enough to truly be present... so good on you for wanting to grow in this way. Give yourself some grace for the speed bumps along the way and surround yourself with kind, trustworthy people. Having solid mentors and friends I can talk to made (and for me, still make) all the difference in the world
@@MalloryNewcomb ironically enough, creators on youtube and instagram have kinda been my mentors !! channels like hitomi mochizuki’s as well as videos like this one are what i’ve tried to spend my screen time on since the pandemic 😌
@@riankagill That’s very good you’ve found some helpful sources on the internet. Hopefully you also have a community of friends you can talk to about this stuff too even if it is over zoom.
That was a challenge for me being a conservative Christian amongst many other personal holdbacks... They were REALLY tough to overcome (like a whole other TED talk) and simply, it took me a long time to find women I trusted enough that I got that ‘safe space’ ... but eventually I found trustworthy women and my life is better for it. :)
Also I recently got some advice to wear clothes that make you feel good about you. Clothes that make you feel attractive and confident. Makes such a difference ✌🏼
Excellent!!
Good one!!!
Adorei esse vídeo! Eu acho a beleza da atriz que interpretou a baby, simples e linda! Thank you guys, I love this channel.
I'm so glad you guys finally made a dirty dancing video!
