Hairspray

During this film, I enjoyed all the bright colors (probably from the over saturation) and of coarse all the crazy hair styles. I thought the storyline was pretty good, and all the different characters personalities were really entertaining. I am not usually a fan of musicals though because they can be a bit much to handle at times. Compared to the last musical film we watched, I liked this one better because the storyline made more sense and not the ENTIRE thing was singing. I learned that this film was meant to represent the 60’s, around when race was still a issue. I thought the cinematography was good because the quality of the film was good and the shot selection was varied. My favorite actor in this film was John Travolta because it was hilarious watching him dance and obsess over foods. His characters personality was funny too:) If I was the director I would have taken out some of the songs, but then again I don’t think that would be a good thing to do for a musical.
