I can't believe Corbin Bleu destroyed gender stereotypes and saved the 2000s. Only respect for my president
this FILM
- features a predominantly black cast (corbin bleu and keke palmer thank u for my LIFE)
- addresses toxic masculinity and gender roles, classism, the death of a parent
- has a soundtrack that absolutely slaps and tons of iconic choreography
- is one of the best dcoms ever
my sister: are all disney movies about a person who has to choose between two activities because they take place during the same day
This is a moving fantasy, an idea of how empowering and positive life could be if children of color had the resources not just that white kids do, but that apparently film studios do. Elaborate choreography, multiple uniforms, and visual extravagance are on display from what are ostensibly middle class children, and a double dutch competition takes place in a major venue of some sort, not a smelly gym in a forgotten corner of a forgotten corner. Acrobatics impress the crowd instead of earning homophobic pejoratives; pacifistic defiance gains respect instead of opportunistic violence. Fathers bring unconditional love and accept heart breaking criticisms, and everything is safe and clean and interconnected.
And it's kinda beautiful. The exploration of how sexism…
PUSH IT PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT LIMIT GIVE IT ALL WE CAN GIVE IT WE'RE IN IT TO WIN IT IN IT TO WIN IT OH YEAH
My favorite part of this movie was when Corbin Bleu starts doing backflips during a boxing match
i truly believe that corbin bleu having to choose between boxing and double dutch is representing his internalised homophobia and toxic masculinity. i’m writing this review with tears in my eyes.
