PITCH PERFECT
Pitch Perfect is not your typical
romantic comedy. This movie is about a girl named Beca (Ana Kendrick) who is a
freshman at Barden University. She is somewhat of a loner, and is extremely
passionate about following her dreams as being a music producer. However, she
joins an acapella group at the school, and makes some unlikely friendships. The
movie is all about her underdog acapella group and their journey to the finals.
Along the way she also forms a romantic friendship with Jesse (Skylar Astin)
who is part of the Trebelmakers, which is the rival acapella group. This movie
is extremely unique, because it entails so much music, yet isn’t a cheesy
musical. They incorporate all the songs so well and use a great mix of modern
songs and old classics. I feel I enjoyed this movie so much because of the
music and the singing.
Along with the music, the movie is also extremely funny, and
caused me to laugh out loud multiple times. However, my favorite scene in the
movie had to be the scene where the girls sing “Just the Way You Are” in the
streets of their school. I love this scene, because it’s the first time they
all come together and work well as a team. Therefore, it’s extremely powerful
and a huge turning point in the movie. Up to that point everything was going wrong
for them, but after that point everything goes well. Therefore, it’s an
extremely vital scene and I love the music in it.
