So, I went to see Pitch Perfect the other day, and it was absolutely brilliant.
If you have been living under a rock for the last few months, here is the trailer:
The film is about a girl named Beca who gets convinced to join the all girls a capella group The Bellas, and then their collective stride from the bottom to the top. She is joined in the group with a crazy mishmash of characters, from Fat Amy, a ridiculous girl from Transylvania who is all personality, to Audrey, the leader of the group, who is hoping to get over a mortifying moment that made the group a joke during last year's Nationals. Along the way, Beca meets Jesse, a fellow freshman with a love for scoring movie soundtracks and a capella singing for the Bellas' all male rivals. What will happen next? Go out and see the movie!
The movie is a great mix of romance, comedy and music. It's got plenty of puns to go around, and the characters, while somewhat superficial are all different and well played. I highly recommend you go see it, especially if you dig musical comedy. Or romance. Or both. Or are friends with me.
ANYWAY.
At one point in the film; the main character, Beca, auditions for the Bellas, using the audition song "Cups (You're Gonna Miss Me)" by Lulu and the Lampshades. I hadn't heard the song before the film, but as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to play it myself. So I found the original, and practised and practised. Finally, I filmed myself! Here is the result: Hope you enjoy!
