Dirty Dancing is the Born to Watch attempt at getting out of our comfort zone, well for two of us. We will let you decide which team member isn't going to put Baby in a corner.It's rare for a film to capture the essence of a generation, to become a cultural touchstone that transcends time and speaks to audiences across generations. "Dirty Dancing," directed by Emile Ardolino and released in 1987, is one such cinematic gem that has managed to do just that. With its infectious energy, heartwarming romance, and a soundtrack that's become synonymous with the era, "Dirty Dancing" continues to sway hearts and ignite conversations even decades after its release.Set in the summer of 1963, the film whisks us away to Kellerman's, a family resort nestled in the Catskill Mountains. This seemingly idyllic retreat becomes the backdrop for the transformational journey of Frances "Baby" Houseman, portrayed brilliantly by Jennifer Grey. Baby is an idealistic young woman on the brink of adulthood, her world view shaped by her upper-middle-class upbringing and the impending societal changes of the 1960s. Her life takes a thrilling turn when she stumbles upon the staff quarters and encounters the vivacious dance instructor Johnny Castle, played by the charismatic Patrick Swayze.The film's title itself carries a provocative undertone, and indeed, dance serves as a metaphor for the hidden desires, social boundaries, and self-discovery that drive the narrative. As Baby watches the forbidden and electrifying world of "dirty dancing" unfold before her eyes, her journey from innocence to self-assuredness mirrors the societal shifts happening beyond the dance floor. The dance sequences are nothing short of mesmerising, as Swayze and Grey's chemistry ignites the screen, and their moves convey emotions that words often fail to express.What truly elevates "Dirty Dancing" beyond its dazzling dance numbers is its unapologetic exploration of class, gender, and identity. The backdrop of the early 1960s allows the film to address these issues with a subtle yet poignant touch. Baby's encounter with the working-class staff challenges her preconceived notions, and her blossoming relationship with Johnny defies societal expectations. The dance routines themselves, at times sensual and raw, are symbolic of breaking free from the constraints of traditional roles.Jennifer Grey's portrayal of Baby is a masterclass in character development. Her transition from a sheltered girl to a confident woman is believable and relatable. Grey's ability to convey vulnerability, determination, and passion draws the audience into Baby's world, making us cheer for her every step of the way. Patrick Swayze's Johnny is a complex character, harbouring dreams and burdens that go beyond his tough exterior. Swayze's magnetic presence brings depth to the character, making Johnny more than just a dance instructor – he becomes a symbol of aspiration and rebellion.The supporting cast adds layers of charm and intrigue to the film. Jerry Orbach as Dr. Jake Houseman, Baby's father, delivers a touching performance as a well-intentioned parent struggling to come to terms with the changes his daughter is experiencing. The late, great actress Kelly Bishop shines as Marjorie Houseman, portraying the matriarch with a mix of grace and quiet understanding. And who could forget the scene-stealing turn by Cynthia Rhodes as Penny, Johnny's dance partner, whose predicament becomes a catalyst for Baby's transformation?The film's soundtrack deserves special mention, as it's impossible to discuss "Dirty Dancing" without acknowledging its impact. The music not only accompanies the dance sequences but becomes an integral part of the storytelling. Tracks like "Time of My Life" by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes and "Hungry Eyes" by Eric Carmen infuse the film with a sense of nostalgia and romance, capturing the essence of the era and remaining etched in the memories of viewers."Dirty Dancing" is a quintessential coming-of-age story, a tale of love transcending social barriers, and a celebration of the power of dance to liberate the spirit. It's a film that reminds us that change is inevitable, that stepping out of our comfort zones can lead to remarkable transformations, and that true empowerment comes from embracing our passions and defying expectations. It's no wonder that the film's iconic line, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner," has become a rallying cry for individuality and self-expression.In conclusion, "Dirty Dancing" is a cinematic treasure that continues to captivate audiences with its timeless themes, unforgettable performances, and mesmerising dance sequences. The film's ability to bridge generations and evoke emotions speaks to its enduring relevance. Whether you're watching it for the first time or revisiting it for the umpteenth time, "Dirty Dancing" will always have the power to make you laugh, cry, and dance like nobody's watching.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

'Nobody puts Baby in the corner' Dirty Dancing (1987) If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, become a supporter. www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesback Plot Summary: In 1963, Frances "Baby" Houseman, a sweet daddy's girl, goes with her family to a resort in upstate New York's Catskill Mountains. Baby has grown up in privileged surroundings and all expect her to go on to college, join the Peace Corps and save the world before marrying a doctor, just like her father. Unexpectedly, Baby becomes infatuated with the camp's dance instructor, Johnny Castle, a man whose background is vastly different from her own. Baby lies to her father to get money to pay for an illegal abortion for Johnny's dance partner. She then fills in as Johnny's dance partner and it is as he is teaching her the dance routine that they fall in love. It all comes apart when Johnny's friend falls seriously ill after her abortion and Baby gets her father, who saves the girl's life. He then learns what Baby has been up to, who with and worse, that he funded the illegal abortion. He bans his daughter from any further association with "those people". In the first deliberately willful action of her life, Baby later sneaks out to see Johnny, ostensibly to apologize for her father's rudeness, and ends up consummating her relationship with Johnny. A jealous fellow vacationer sees Baby sneaking out of Johnny's bungalow the next morning, and in an act of retribution, tells management that he is responsible for a theft the evening before, knowing he would not furnish his real whereabouts.

Dirty Dancing is a 1987 American romantic drama dance film written by Eleanor Bergstein, produced by Linda Gottlieb, and directed by Emile Ardolino. It stars Jennifer Grey as Frances "Baby" Houseman, a young woman who falls in love with dance instructor Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze) at a holiday resort. The film was based on screenwriter Eleanor Bergstein's own childhood. She originally wrote a screenplay for the Michael Douglas film It's My Turn, but ultimately ended up conceiving a story for a film which became Dirty Dancing. She finished the script in 1985, but management changes at MGM put the film in development hell. The production company was changed to Vestron Pictures with Emile Ardolino as director and Linda Gottlieb as producer. Filming took place in Lake Lure, North Carolina, and Mountain Lake, Virginia, with the film's score composed by John Morris and dance choreography by Kenny Ortega. Dirty Dancing premiered at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival on May 12, 1987, and was released on August 21, 1987, in the United States, earning over $214 million worldwide.[2] It was the first film to sell more than a million copies for home video,[2] and its soundtrack created by Jimmy Ienner generating two multi-platinum albums and multiple singles, including "(I've Had) The Time of My Life", which won both the Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Original Song, and a Grammy Award for best duet.[3] The film's popularity led to a 2004 prequel, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, and a stage version which has had sellout performances in Australia, Europe, and North America. A made-for-TV remake was also released in 2017.[4]

In this episode, we have the time of our lives as we discuss the 1987 smash hit "Dirty Dancing." It's a fun flick about a 17-year-old girl who raises money for a botched abortion, learns to dance and loses her virginity to a small-time male prostitute, but the gigolo has awesome hair and a six-pack, so it all works out well in the end. Jennifer Grey plays Frances "Baby" Houseman, a wannabe do-gooder whose main method of enacting change in the world appears to be begging her daddy for help while simultaneously treating him like garbage. Patrick Swayze plays Johnny Castle, a gentile who works as a dance instructor at a summer resort that is specifically all-Jewish, but he is somehow hurt and surprised when he is treated like an outsider. He also manages to paint himself as a victim when he voluntarily has sex with wealthy women for money. Jerry Orbach plays Dr. Jake Houseman, a nice-seeming physician who makes the mistake of bringing his two spoiled teenage daughters on vacation with him to a resort in upstate New York. Throughout the film, his awful girls do every possible thing they can think of to abuse him and break his will to live. Join us as we discuss how this movie seems to give up on being a period piece halfway through; as we argue with each other about if the '50s music in this is good or not; and as we come to realize that the final sequence of the film may be a dream sequence.

Thirty years ago, the world was first introduced to Frances "Baby" Houseman and Johnny Castle. In the years since, Dirty Dancing has spawned legions of fans, a successful musical adaptation, a misbegotten prequel and a TV remake best left forgotten, which is good going for a low-budget movie starring two relative unknowns with a plot that hinges on an abortion.
