Overall Reaction:
Personally, I have seen this movie so many times and always seem to enjoy it. I decided to stick with this movie and watch it yet again, as I have seen Talk to Me twice, as I tried to like it and wasn’t really a fan. Pitch Perfect is a funny movie that incorporates several different personalities through its characters so you kind of get a mix of everything. I love to sing so I love that this movie incorporates a few good songs and mixes them together. One thing I really like about this movie is that the plot isn’t very easy to completely guess accurately. I have seen too many movies where you can easily assume the entire plot within .5 seconds of watching it, or the movie just moves too slow and nothing really happens. I feel as if there is always something happening at each point of this movie that you don’t want to miss. I also like that throughout the movie, you can see plenty of character development for each individual character. For example, Beca decides to actually give the Barden Bellas a try and ends up finding herself, Aubrey gets over her stage fright, and Fat Amy becomes more vulnerable. I think this movie shows a lot about the importance of breaking out of your comfort zone every now and then.
Three Characters:
Fat Amy:
Fat Amy is the love interest of Bumper, the leader of the Braden Treblemakers, even though he won’t admit it and treats her awfully 90 percent of the time. She is very confident and has a very strong attitude. She is very funny and is never afraid to speak her mind. Fat Amy is definitely my favorite character, as she is always brutally honest and right to the point. She is never afraid to tell the truth, even if it is hurtful.
Bumper:
Bumper is another one of my favorite characters from the movie. Bumper is the love interest of Fat Amy. They consistently act as if they don’t like/can’t stand each other when other people are around, but when it’s just them, it is immensely obvious they are both heavily into each other, but won’t admit it. Bumper typically finds joy in toying with Fat Amy’s emotions and is seen being a huge dick to her on several different occasions. Personally, I always thought she was too good for bumper, but it’s canon. Bumper is the leader of the Braden Treblemakers (an all male a Capella group rivaling the Braden Bellas). He is very rude to just about everyone in the film, especially Fat Amy and the other Braden Bellas. He is also rude to most of the dudes in his a Capella group, with an exception to a select few occasionally.
Aubrey:
Aubrey is the leader of the female a Capella group, the Barden Bella’s. She has a deep hatred for the Barden Treblemakers and personally believes that their rivalry is so deep, no Bella should even be seen with a Treblemaker, as it is extremely controversial. She seems very insecure throughout the movie and is extremely bossy and strict. She is like Bumper, but not as bad. She seems to be very okay with cutting ties and very strict on what she deems correct behavior.
