If we talk about musical, everyone will think about GLEE now. BUT for me Glee has no interesting. It is like other musical films, especially all episodes of High School Musical. It mostly talks about teenagers’ love which is now very boring for me. There is nothing new at all. Glee is another musical TV series that so popular now. My friends talk about it very often, but I do not see anything that can impress me. In Glee, they only cover or remix other songs and that’s all. So, if you want to see a musical movie that can give you more than just teenagers’ love story and songs with stupid steps, I recommend you this film HAIRSPRAY!!!!
Hairspray is a story of Tracy Turnblad, an overweight teenager who has a talent of dancing. She obsessed with the Corny Collins Show. She and her best friend, Penny, dash home to watch the show every day after school.
After one of the stars of the show leaves, Corny Collins makes auditions to find who will be the next person on the Corny Collins show. With the help of her friends, she can be part of the show.
And because she is fat, she knows the feeling of the outsider of society that black people feel. So, Tracy decides that it's not fair that the black kids can only dance on the Corny Collins Show once a month, and with the help of Seaweed, Link, Penny, Motormouth Maybelle, her father and Edna, she's going to integrate the show.
With all the summery that I give, you may not clearly understand what is the difference between others musicals films or TV series and Hairspray like what I say. This movie is set in the city of Baltimore, Maryland on 1962. In America in that period, racial discrimination still exists. So, when we watch this move, we will learn some American history from it, and we will learn it with fun which is difference from others that focus only love or dancing.
Another thing that makes this film difference from others is the characterization of the main character, Tracy. She is not a beautiful slim girl like most main characters in other films. It shows that everyone is important even though you are fat. Lots of part in the movie encourages overweight people to live with happiness. So, it is COOL.
Personally, I like this movie because they cast many superstars to play in this movie.
You will have a change to see John Travolta in form of a big woman, Edna Turnblad, Tracy's mother and agent who is shame of her obesity which is hard to see for sure. Not only John Travolta, this movie gathers many famous Hollywood superstars such as Michelle Pfeiffer, Queen Latifah, and Christopher Walken. Queen Latifah shows her voice and acting in this movie extremely perfect (actually, I love her personally>_<).
<<<MY FAVORITE PART>>>
