Strictly speaking, "Hairspray" is a remake. The first film version appeared in 1988. At the time, the screenwriter John Waters wrote and directed himself, making "Hairspray" a classic, and then Broadway after 2000 It moved to the stage, and this time in the movie version, you can not only see the feeling of the stage play being adapted to the movie, but also the retro trend of paying tribute to the original. It is worth mentioning that the film creates the United States. The atmosphere of the 1960s was very successful. So in terms of the plot, the new "Hairspray" doesn't have too many problems, just a slight change at the end. Regarding the plot, it is actually relatively simple, that is, obesity discrimination and clan discrimination. However, the ending of the new version is "too idealistic" after all. Fat girls get love, and black performers can also get their due rights. However, from the social environment at the time, it was a bit too good, but we can understand the beautiful vision of the screenwriter— —It's a remake after all, it's MUSICAL after all, after all, it's just a few big-name self-entertainment, why bother to be so serious? Is it good for everyone to be happy?
Although the dramas are different, the major supporting roles have one thing in common, that is, they are either good singers, musical or stage performers. Travolta relies on MUSICAL. Although he hasn't sung for many years, he still has a lot of skills in reverse singing. What's more rare is that he plays a middle-aged fat woman who has to post fake fat for four hours a day before performing. However, He used this fake flesh to jump out of the sense of movement. Needless to say, the queen sings amphibians, where Grammy's skill lies. Feifu announced her comeback through "Hairspray", and many people still remember her sexy and capable performances (now actually). Their activity not only improves the viewing degree of the whole film, but also serves as the best guide and role model for several little-known young protagonists.
This is why "Hairspray" looks so friendly and natural: when you have been on the screen, when you have been criticized and called a vase, when you have stood at the highest point in public opinion, then ask you to go When you sing and dance in such a light-hearted song and dance drama, you will find that your interpretation is so easy, you will unconsciously put the essence of your career in a few square meters of dance steps, your face Will be more kind and natural.
Finally, I want to talk about the choreography of "Hairspray". Here is a comparison with "High School Musical" which I like very much. The choreography of "High School Musical" is easy for everyone to find that if it is not a two-person turn or a single head, it is a school-wide collective dance. Sometimes it is not enough to control a small range of dance. In all fairness, the choreography of "Hairspray" is relatively good to the next level. In multi-person dance, there is no sense of mess that sometimes occurs in "High School Musical" (especially in the third part), and the skill of the choreographer can be seen in the dance scene on a bus-multiple actors, Small scope, but methodical in interpretation. Of course, the addition of several big names and the valuable experience of the previous work are also the reasons why the dance in "Hairspray" is so excellent. Of course, I am not saying that "High School Musical" is not good. From the audience's point of view, "High School Musical" is incomparable.
My final point: "Hairspray" is a good movie. I recommend you to watch it. Even if you don't like MUSICAL, I hope you can watch it.
