Anyone else notice the film "Stick It"

[RandomThoughts]

(note: I doubt the actors saw this in the film.)

There was a film with Jeff Bridges, and Missy Peregrym called "Stick It" It was a Disney Film

There were a few themes in the film, the bad girl dressed in outfit with flames, always trying to do really tough tricks, trying to get along with structure of a gymnastics training so she could compete, while maintaining an attitude that does not conform, is the basic theme.

But, the movie is also a political metaphor.

In the movie the Gymnast girls get angry at the rules from the judges of the events. They feel they can decide better who should win an event, so every girl except the one picked to win intentionally faults so the gymnast girls can pick the winner. In this metaphor, the voters are the judges, the girls are the people running for office, allowing each other to take their turn to be in office based on how they themselves decide. Intentionally throwing elections, or picking candidates they know will lose, or framing the arguments in media to make sure one side wins.

The weirdest thing, was the repeated use of the hook'm horns hand signal, and the last scene of gymnastics in the film, the girl ends a floor mat gymnastic routine, by laying on the ground in the form of a partial swastika. When I saw it, it was totally obvious, but its odd, that it seems others did not see it.

Lots of themes in that film, many shown in this clip,

In another interpretation, the idea of people not judging others, and innovated ideas in competition I agree with, but what takes the film away from that motif is the idea of the contestants intentionally fixing the competition.

1. All I know of that movie is that a lot of old guys went to see it.

When I worked at the theatre when it came out. Nothin but old guys by themselves in the morning.

3. interesting...never noticed

I saw it at the movies (I know....not my choice), and afterwards we just looked at each other and said "Ok, that was really bad. Let's not tell anyone we saw that."

5. Saw it on TV

The women are pretty in the film. But almost all the women actors are pretty. So thats irrelevant.

But the story idea, and the repeated darkside themes, their are lots of darkside themes in that film, hey maybe the theater worker in earlier post identified another dark theme of film, with his view of film.

I was surprised that anyone would try to make stalker a positive, another really darkside thing, then the bit about the self esteem, it was one bad thing after another. And that was just in the trailer!
