Weโve all been watching Grease wrong this whole time, at least thatโs what a new viral fan theory is suggesting. According to people on Reddit, the entire movie is a fantasy played out in Sandyโs (played by Olivia Newton-John) head because, wait for itโฆ sheโs DEAD!
In the filmโs iconic song Summer Nights, Danny sang โI saved her lifeโ and โshe nearly drownedโ. 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 werenโt a dream.
The fan wrote, โAs 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.โ
The theory caught the attention of actress Sarah Michelle-Gellar, who tweeted it to her 539,000 followers.
Weโre still waiting to hear from Sandy, AKA, Olivia about her take on all this.
