Past Attractions (1/1)

Video

1987. Dirty Dancing.

Alright.

Let’s keep it short and sweet.

Entire title sequence cut and pasted into the trailer: yes.

Sepia-tinted Spoilers of Doom: yes.

Latent feminist message: way more explicit than in the final product.

Sexuality: sort-of-hinted at.

Let’s practice, through montage!: hell yeah.

Semi-relevant subplots: tossed away with no mercy.

Big social issues du jour: featured - just the main one.

Potentially creepy age difference between the leads: wha?

Lead female’s Judaism: huh?

Big ending given away: literally.
