Pitch Perfect is a 2012 musical comedy that focuses on friendship, college life and a cappella competitions. The film director is Jason Moore and it’s cast includes Anna Kendrick who is Beca who joins the Barden Bellas an a cappella group which is an all ladies group whose aim is to win the national competitions.
Anna Kendrick who plays Beca is a student at Barden Bella and is not interested in college life as she wants to become a music producer. At first Beca is not interested in joining any a cappella group but later joins the auditions and qualifies to be in an all girls a cappella group the Barden Bellas. As she joins the group she wants to recreate songs but that brings conflicts between her and Anna Camp who is Aubrey, a group leader of the Bella’s whose ambition is to win the national competitions and recover from last year’s loss.
Anna Kendrick musical talent in the film made her to have a conflict with the group leader Aubrey as she wants the Bella’s to stick to the group’s traditions and not bring new ideas as it might jeopardize their chance of winning the national competitions. Rebel Wilson who is playing Fat Army makes the movie interesting as the bring comedy in the film and also her character is unpredictable, loud, confident and she brings energetic performances.
Anna Camp playing Aubrey in the film is an ambitious leader as she is focused on winning the national competitions but finds herself intimidated with Beca’s talent and thinks she wants to take her position. Another important character in the film is Skyler Astin who is involved in a romantic relationship with Anna Kendrick but their relationship is against the traditions of the Bella’s and this also made Aubrey to have conflicts with Beca.
The film succeeds because of its talented casts who were bringing their characters to life and also the characters manages to bring the themes of friendship, romance, and unity as they discovered that they need to work together for them to win the competition. Music is also the strongest element in the movies as the a cappella groups manages to recreate popular songs which they used in their competitions. However, the film has its flaws as some plots may feel unrealistic and also the movie is predictable to those that watch musical movies.
Pitch perfect a film full of college life, friendship, romance, comedy and music. Although it has its own weaknesses, l would recommend the movie to people who enjoy musical, college life movies and friendships. I would rate it 9/10.
