Pitch Perfect (2012)


Pitch Perfect (2012)

Starring: Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Anna Camp


If you’re a music lover, then watch this movie if you haven’t already. The music scenes are awesome. They are super complex, with counter melodies, multiple harmonies, and killer vocals. The Just The Way You Are scene for example, has counter melodies, with the two melodies intertwining together. It also features many harmonies, and really cool timing patterns. There are vocals acting as drums, bass, and guitar. To arrange this would have been very complex, and not to mention having to sing the arrangement.

The riff off is an awesome scene. There is groups battling each other with awesome arrangements of songs and sass, and they are working together. It shows the first sign of real bondage between the groups. The songs they sang too, with the variety from rap to pop and ballads, were really cool.

The movie also has great character development, with just the right amount of romance, that you end up cheering for the characters. Pitch Perfect does romance and friendship a whole lot better than Glee, so don’t compare it to Glee. At the end when Becca and Jessie finally get together, so cute. At the beginning of the movie, he air guitar’s to her when he doesn’t even know her, he brings juice and killer movies, for something else to do together instead of just stacking CD’s and using record covers as faces. “you’re an acapella girl and I’m an acapella boy”.

It’s pretty cool to see a group of strangers become really good friends. It is cool to see Aubrey finally “loosen the rails”, she asks Becca for help at the end, rather than puking like she did twice because she was stressed. She let someone else take some control, and turned them from being good to being awesome.

This movie has some really cool lines.

“Amy what are you doing”? “I’m vertical running”

“Excuse me bitch no need to shout” – when the girl finally speaks up

“you’ll be spending a lot of downtime together so please no sex on the bench, I’ve been warned before”

Becca- “Kimmy Jin is my friend” ... Kimmy Jin-” nope”

“Your man boobs are going to concave”

And also, when Jessie sings “I guess it’s the women in you that brings out the man in me” to Becca – so cute

“Aca-believe it”
