Ivana A. | Diary of Difference (1171 KP) rated Bring It On (2000) in Movies

Jun 29, 2020

I love all "Bring It On" movies, but this one was where it all started, and still the one I have watched the most. It is very predictable and very fake, but it is a movie I watched during high school and holds a lot of nostalgia in it. Even though there is no such thing as cheerleading in Macedonia. I used to be a national karate champion istead.

If you love a bit of old high-school cheerleading drama, and want to see old classrooms, old-school romance and old-style radios with handmade tapes and rock songs, you'll enjoy this one.

Album Favorite

"I was about 14, 15 when I first heard this. There was a period just before punk when I was at grammar school. Grammar school being grammar school they tended to like these white rock bands. That was where I got introduced to bands like Yes, Zeppelin, Tangerine Dream, that I also liked. For me, they are my favourite American rock band. Their synergy, the way they play together, and again the engineering of that album, I don't think was ever surpassed. It's got everything. I suppose the Beach Boys might be contenders, but the Doors are my favourites."

Bandslam is a decent coming-of-age film for ages 7-13, but it is your typical American high school story where the guy gets the girl and everything works out in the end. The only good thing that comes from this film is the hidden truth that is revealed about society: when rumours are passed around about you and you move school, but the students at the new school always find out about your background and use it as a weapon. This brutal truth is shown throughout the film as Will tries, unsuccessfully, to hide the fact his father killed a kid whilst drinking under the influence and is now in prison with a DUI. What is most shocking is, not only do the students at his new school use his father's DUI against him, but so does Charlotte, who was supposedly Will's friend. Overall, Bandslam is more suited to younger audiences with an open mind.
