Pitch Perfect

I like music , comedy movie  and Rebel Wilson. If you like one of that, you should watch Pitch Perfect. Just so you know, it isn’t just some monkey business young adult movie, it’s more than that. The word “Pitch Perfect” have a meaning that is the ability of a person to identify or re-create a given musical note without the benefit of an external reference. As a movie is named Pitch Perfect, the music is a vocal music without instrumental accompaniment.

Pitch Perfect is musical comedy romantic movie. First, I don’t know anything about this movie, even it is available in the theater. But I am a Rebel Wilson fan and everybody called her “Fat Amy” then, I google it. I didn't read the spoil of the movie before I saw it, I though it kept me excised. After I saw it, I said “Wow”. The plot is simple, everyone could know the end but it kept attractive me. It’s about university life, friendship, love, trust. As I’m a university student, I got it very well. It’s time to find oneself and to show who are you. even you’ll lost the way but finally, you are who you are and no one can change you.

The person who is very importance to this movie is the director, Jason Moore. He’s a well-known director as a musical director in Broadway. His famous directed is Avenue Q which brought  he nominated a 2004 Tony Award. By his work, he has acknowledge for directing Pitch Perfect and it brought good result.

The casts are very famous and talented, such as Anna Kendrick, she was nominated a Academy Award for best supporting actress and She was nominated a Tony Award for the role in Broadway musical at age 12. Brittany Snow, she  was play in many roles in different movies and she is also a singer. So, I don’t  have question why they are so good at singing. Rebel Wilson, She is Australian actress who is also a comedienne. She is famous from this movie as her funny character. The rest of the casts have a singing talent. I like them all.

I am really enjoy the songs in the movie. Because the sons is well known and the movie show it unlike the original. The songs are very perfect with the movie. Every musical scenes have a perfect song to affect the scene and the audience’s emotion. Such as, the audition scene that the auditioner have to sing “Since U been gone” but Beca, the lead role, sing “You’re gone miss me” and both song have different meaning so, the scene show how special is she.

 This movie is not just affects your emotional it’s not just funny, romantic and musical. It can also affects your idea somehow or change the way you think of love, friendship and dream and it’ll give you an inspiration or maybe it’ll remind you of a good friendship in your life or your dream. The movie can help you find the meaning of dreams, friendship, love and trust.

By it’s plot, character, tone, soundtrack almost everything that’s all in this movie will finally reach you to the meaning of the movie.

So just watch the movie and feel it, you’ll get more than you think!

If you are looking for a good movie with love, dream, friendship and music. Just go and watch Pitch Perfect. For guys, if you are looking for a good movie with a lot of colleges girls. Just go and watch Pitch Perfect. ;P

(500) Days of Summer

An offbeat romantic comedy about a woman who doesn't believe true love exists, and the young man who falls for her.

Director: Marc Webb

Writers: Scott Neustadter, Michael H. Weber

Stars: Zooey Deschanel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Geoffrey Arend

Due to the movie slogan; “This is not a love story, this is a story about love”, I was immediately interested in this movie and saw it. As a result, (500) Days of Summer has become one of my best film in my mind because of the strange new aspects on the simplicity of the movie.

This film has a simple content but it can make a story differ from other love story. (500) Days of Summer does not only focus on love or a relationship between boy and girl but also human’s habit and behavior.

The movie presents a concept of the truth about life that is uncertainty. For example, Summer, a main character in the movie, always surprises me while watching because she quickly changes her mind all the story so it makes the movie exciting.

The most romantic movies always end up with neither happiness nor sadness, but (500) Days of Summer end up with each personal feeling about the content of the movie.  

The natural characters in the movie are also an important factor to full fill the reality in this film. Tom Hansen and Summer Finn are the main characters that have general personalities. Tom is just a boy who believes in destiny and hopes that someday he will meet somebody, and Summer is a girl who always thinks that love is just fantasy.

To me, these characters can be found from many people around me that have different thoughts about love so the movie can reflect more real life by using the plain characters in narration and invite the audiences to take part in the moment of each scene. I think that the simple characters are the significance components in this film that the most viewers can easily link with their experiences.

In the movie, it is a story during 500 days that the boy meets the girl. The director does not order scenes from first day to last day; in contrast, he switches between scenes in order to compare the past with the present in the film. Although the story skips back and forth, it’s not a problem because when each scene is arranged together, the story smoothly goes on. I believe this technique brings a newfangled movie style to screenland because it can make an ordinary romantic comedy plot more interesting and creative.

The great distinctions of (500) Days of Summer are the simple content, the natural characters and the nonlinear narration. These things may seem normal but when they are mixed together, they become an excellent different film since it presents the same old love story in alternative way. I’m sure that this movie opens a new vision for viewers and fascinates them with a creative concept expressed in the movie.

High school musical 3 : Senior Year

The last year of their High school life.
Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan, Chad, and Taylor are daced with the challenging prospect of being separated after graduating from high school.

Most songs in this part reflect their experiences, hopes, and fears about the future.

First of all,I would like to introduce you guys to Tiara Gold, a british exchange student whom Sharpay hires to be her personal assistant. I enjoy her accent while watching this movie.

Ms. Darbus notices that there were so few sigh-ups for the spring musical, Sharpay suggests she could do a one woman show. This alarms Kelsi, who is writing the show, so she immediately signs up everyone for it instead. This results in Ms. Darbus announcing they will create a play about their final days at East High, called Senior Year. In addition, she reveals that Sharpay, Ryan, Kelsi, and Troy have all been considered for a scholarship at Julliard School, but only one of them is to be chosen. Troy is confused, because he did not apply to Juilliard. Seeing his friend laughing, he believes they gave his name to Juilliard.

                                                                                 

To me, this is the most romantic scene in the entire movie. On the rooftop at school, Troy asks Gab to go to Prom with him. Then, Gab teaches him how to dance. They’re dancing together with the song Can I have this dance? playing.The way that they look at each other makes my heart melt. The pouring rain makes this scene even more ramantic. I couldn’t help myself thinking that maybe the secret ingredient of romantic is the pouring rain.

BUT

.

.

Their romance doesn’t last that long coz’ a few day later Sharpay and Tiara discover that Gabriella has a chance to go to college early to Standford and Sharpay convinces Troy that he is the only thing keeping Gabriella from her dream. Troy talks to Gabriella about this and after sharing an awkward goodnight, Gabriella sings ("Walk Away") and leaves for college the next day.

While Gab is in Stanford University, Sharpay is prepare for the last musical at East High. 

What about Troy?

Of coz, he desperately miss her, so he drives a car from
Albuquerque, New Maxico to Standford University, California to meet his missing piece. He convinces her to return and they kiss sweetly together. Aww!!

At the end of the movie, all of them were graduated and accepted by many different universities. Taylor was accepted by Yale University. Chad and Sharpay was accepted by the University of Albuquerque. Ryan-Juilliard School, Troy-University of California.And Gabriella- Standford University. The reason why Troy choose University of California?

      1.       It offers him to learn both basketball and acting.

2.       It’s located near Stanford University, so he can come visit her as often as he wants to. Such a sweet guy!!

Troy gives the class speech at the graduation ceremony.

Hitting the theatre in 2008, High School Musical 3 made more than 250,000,000 dollars worldwide. This musical movie was directed by Kenny Ortega who also choreographed the dance throughout the movie. I have a passion for this movie ever since I watched it at the very first time.
                 I am enchanted by the content of this movie. The content is about romance and friendship of the high school students who pursue their dreams. Even though their destinations are different, they can travel on the same journey by using the best vehicle called "friendship". Because they have faith in themselves to chase down their dreams, they can overcome many obstacles on the way to the destination. There are laugh, tear, and forgiveness which they have learn the true meaning from experiencing them along the journey. Finally, they can reach their goals but it doesn't matter because what happens along the journey is more important than the destination. For some reason I don't know, the journey that they travel from the very beginning to the very end is the journey that I can't get enough of it. 
                This musical movie fascinates me since 
                the first day that I watched it. 
                High School Musical Trilogy not only
                entertains me but it also teaches me 
                how to be a growing up together. 
                If I have to list my ten favorite 
                movies of all time. High School Musical,
                of course, will be on the top of my list.   

                For those of you who haven't watched 
                this movie yet. I highly recommend you 
                 watch it before you die.

                               

High School Musical Part 2

Everyone at East High School is looking forward to summer vacation . Troy Bolton is still dating Gabriella. Troy eventually decides to look for a summer job to gain money for college.

"No more waking up at 6 am cuz now our time is all our own"

Remember this lyrics. It’s from the song named what time is it. It’s the first song they all sing it in HSM2. I feel related to it. Since I was a little girl, I’ve been looking forward to summer vacation coz I really hate waking up in the morning and go to school. To me, summer is the best time of the year.

OK OK I’m gonna stop talking about how lazy I am.

Where were we?

Oh!! Right Troy tries to save money for college, so he decides to work at Sharpay family's country club, Lava Springs.

Turn out that Mr.Fulton, the club’s manager hires Gabriella and their close group of friends as well; including Taylor and Chad.  

So, the whole story of HSM2 mostly happens in the lava spring.

In the mean time, Sharpay and Ryan aren’t so close anymore.

Sharpay tries to get closer with Troy by asking him to teach her how to play golf which of coz she lies to him. Actually,she is a really good golfer.

While Troy is teaching golf to Sharpay, Gab is spending much of her time with Ryan. 

This causes Troy get jealous of him.

Moreover, Gab thought that all Troy thinks is save money for college, not spending time with her and his friends. She thought that Troy has completely changed,so she decides to go back home.

Anyway, Sharpay looks gorgeous in this pix. She’s always dress up like a barbie doll.

Gotta go my own way is the song they sing when Gab is saying good bye to Troy. I love this scene. So emotional yet romantic in a heart-broken way. After that, Troy realize that he shouldn’t have take Gabriella and his friends for granted ; he should make this summer a time to remember, not the  time to abandon his friends.

Does Gabriella forgive him for what he’s done?

Well, of coz she does.

Everyday by Troy & Gabriella

There is one stanza of this lyrics which I find so relatable to the character in this movie.

They say that you should follow

And chase down what you dream

But if you get lost and lose yourself

What does it really mean?

It teaches me not to take others’ feeling for granted and don’t lose yourself in every circumstance. 

Hooray!!!! They’re finally locking their lips under the pouring rain. How romantic! I wish I had a relationship like this.

It’s all about the happy ending in the end.

Don't worry. It hasn’t ended yet coz’ each happy ending is a new beginning which’s about to happen in the next spring on HSM3.

High School Musical Part I

High School Musical part 1

First, High School Musical part 1 was on air on Disney Channel in Thailand in 2006. I don’t remember the exact date. All I remember is that I have been impressed with this movie since the very first time I watched it.

The first song that the main characters (Troy & Gabriella) sing at a New Year Eve’s party is Start of something new. This song has such a beautiful melody and it’s also the song that makes Troy (Zac Efron) and Gabriella (Vanesssa Hudgens) get to know each other. I mean start of something new is the beginning of everything in this movie.

Until this day (2013), I still keep listening to this song; it really brings me a good memory.

Sharpay Evans (Ashley Tisdale), a rich and popular girl in East High School, is the drama club president who’s in love with Troy Bolton, The captain of basketball team. Unfortunately for Sharpay, Gabriella has just relocated to study in East High School and seems like Troy Bolton is interested in Gab. So, she does everything that makes Troy and Gabriella not together.

Actually Sharpay is an antagonist in this movie, but I don’t hate her at all. In fact, I like her more than Gabriella. I mean look at the way she dress. So fab!!

Oh!! She has a twin brother, Ryan Evans (Lucas Grabeel) who does everything that his sister wants. He’s a good singer and dancer though.

Remember this guy? That’s right!! This is Chad Danforth (Corbin Bleu), Troy Bolton’s best friend. He’s one of the members in the basketball team. At first, I didn’t have any particular feeling about this character. But the more I watch him, The more passion I have for him. I mean look at his chocolate complexion. Oh!! I don’t think I can get enough of him. :P

More importantly, he’s a really good singer. He doesn’t like dancing though.

At first, He was the one who told Troy to focus only on basketball, not the whole singing thing. But once he learned that Troy really loved singing, he completely supported his friend.

Good-looking+ Good friend+ Good singer+ Chocolate complexion = I will adore him forever.

Who’s the girl standing beside Chad?

Well....that’s me.

Kidding LOL :P

That’s Taylor Mckessie (Monique Coleman), Gabriella’s best friend, 

Taylor is the captain of the school's Scholatic

Decathlon Team; Gabriella is also a member of this team. FYI, Gabriella is genius. She’s good at learning esp. Math and Chemistry. This’s one of the reasons why I look up to this character; she totally understands something that I’ll never get it.

Remember this scene?

Troy and Gabriella was auditioning for the winter musical. They both were singing what I’ve been looking for? ,the song by Kelsi Nielsen(Olesya Rulin) ,  the girl sitting behind the piano. After this song, both of them got a callback audition. Since then, they’ve been spending time together rehearsing and rehearsing for the school’s winter musical. They’re getting to know each other better and gradually develop their relationship. Of course, there are many obstacles waiting for them.

Some obstacle like when Sharpay tries to convince Ms. Darbus, the advisor of the drama club, to change the callback time to coincide with both the basketball championship and the scholastic decathlon, so that Gabriella and Troy cannot participate.

Don’t worry coz’ at last both Troy and Gab make it. But I’m not gonna tell you how. You should watch yourself :P

The last song of HSM part 1 is we’re all in this together. They were singing this song at the end of the movie. Seems like Sharpay is really nice to Gab. She even says “Break a leg” to Gabriella. At first, I thought why she curses Gab like that.

That’s such a relief to know that Break a leg in the showbiz means Good luck! :D

That’s it. The winter is finally over.

The next chapter of their lives is about to begin in the summer.
