We’ve all been watching Grease wrong this whole time, at least that’s what a new viral fan theory is suggesting. According to people on Reddit, the entire movie is a fantasy played out in Sandy’s (played by Olivia Newton-John) head because, wait for it… she’s DEAD!
In the film’s iconic song Summer Nights, Danny sang “I saved her life” and “she nearly drowned”. But according to the theory, Sandy did in fact drown and die, and the entire movie is just a dream.
The final scene in the 1978 movie is used to back the theory. The scene showed Sandy and Danny (John Travolta) fly away in a red convertible, which would be impossible if it weren’t a dream.
The fan wrote, “As she drowned, her brain deprived of oxygen, she had a vivid coma fantasy involving her summer fling, Danny, where they shared a magical year of high school together.”
The theory caught the attention of actress Sarah Michelle-Gellar, who tweeted it to her 539,000 followers.
We’re still waiting to hear from Sandy, AKA, Olivia about her take on all this.
