To whom it is concerned,,
I was very disappointed in the
movie that was produced, entitled Pitch
Perfect. I have also seen that there
might be a sequel coming out for that movie.
To me, the movie seemed geared towards college-aged girls (many of whom
are not twenty-one years of age yet). A
main message that I got from the movie was that drinking alcohol as a freshman
in college – usually ages eighteen or nineteen – was acceptable and even expected. The scene where the dad professor walked into
the dorm room yelling to “hide the drinks”, but his tone and gestures showed he
was kidding, demonstrates this point that drinking as a freshman is expected. I do not think that including that content
was appropriate for the movie.
If there is to be a sequel, then I
would highly encourage you to not include illegal acts that are portrayed as
normal and accepted by parents and peers, especially when they don’t have
consequences. Yes, it is common for under
aged students to drink while they are at college, but I feel like the reason
for that is because the media has told them that it is acceptable. The media is telling them that it is okay to
break the law. This movie was showing
late adolescents that drinking is normal for their age, which is not okay.
I propose
that any sequels demonstrate good values for the appropriate age group. Other
than the inappropriate content and negative portrayals of morals, the musical
aspect and comic side of the movie was very enjoyable. I think a sequel would be wonderful if you
took these insights into consideration.
Sincerely,
Gabrielle Davis
