I have seen the movie Bring it On a countless number of times, yet it never fails to amuse me. It was about Torrance, the new, peppy captain of her high school’s cheerleading squad, who had to make up for all of the mistakes that the past captain, Big Red, had made. Many people can agree that this was the first cheerleading movie to come into theatres that was actually worth paying ten dollars to see. Bring it On was funny, original, and portrayed cheerleaders well.
Unlike so many other movies, Bring it On was not trying to be hilarious, but the subtle jokes were still quite funny. An example of the subtle comedy in this movie was when Sparky, the new and insane choreographer, gives the Rancho Carne Torros a completely idiotic routine, filled with hip thrusting and spirit fingers. The squad arrives at competition only to see that two other teams have the exact same routine. This is funny because it is completely ironic. There are many other uses of ironic comedy throughout the film. The comedy in Bring it On was thoughtful and well-planned.
Bring it On was basically the first cheerleading movie. It was extremely unique and there had been nothing like it at the time. The plot itself was not like any other movies and it was bright and well thought out. The movie makes very many unpredicted twists and turns, making it hard for one to predict what was to happen next. Every time I see the movie, I notice something new, that I had never noticed in the past. I liked Bring it On, for it was very innovative.
Unlike so many other movies, Bring it On depicted cheerleaders as kind, smart, and dedicated. Bring it On stars Kirsten Dunst, as the quick-thinking cheerleading captain who knows how to fix all of the squad’s problems. Unlike cheerleaders in other movies, Kirsten Dunst’s character is quite intelligent. The movie shows how hard a cheerleading squad must work in order to perform well at competitions, and how much time and effort they must put it. This movie gives a visual to all viewers of just how dedicated cheerleaders are to their sport. It also shows the tight bond that a squad shares. Bring it On was not very stereotypical of cheerleaders as being dumb blondes, an example is that one of the stars was a cheerleader who had a punk style, and was a very talented gymnast. Bring it On revealed the good side of cheerleaders that is not often portrayed in movies.
I have enjoyed watching this movie numerous times. I definitely suggest going out to the nearest Blockbuster and renting a copy of this brilliant movie. I promise that you will not be disappointed. Bring it On was a great movie, for it was comical, creative, and depicted cheerleaders fairly.

Hey, good blog. I agree about the movie, except I think the All or Nothing one is better. Anyways, you had good detail, but not so much that I would be totally confused if I hadnt seen it before which was good. But I think when you wrote, "and how much time and effort they must put it" you meant to say put into it. Other than that it was really good.
ReplyDeleteHey Caroline~
ReplyDeleteI read both of your blog posts and they were both very well thought out. I liked how you gave two movies with the same theme (cheerleading)but showed why they were so different. I can't tell you that I am a huge cheerleading fan, but I definately agree with you when you say that not all cheerleaders are "dumb blondes".
Negative things I noticed in your blog were very easily fixed. Some of your sentences continue to drag on for too long. Try to break up your sentences with periods or try to make them flow better. Less choppy sentences are alot easier to follow.
Other than that, I loved your posts!!
