Wicked (Jon M. Chu, 2024/2025) • Page 5

Ariana incredible throughout
Movie overall was incredible mostly during last 40 min
Color palette was not great
Defying Gravity and final shot gave me goosebumps

 

Not familiar with the Broadway show at all, and musicals are pretty low on my list of movie genres, but I was always going to see this because my fiance is a big fan. Also not the biggest fan of Ariana (despite thinking she is talented.) Despite all of that, I thought this was excellent. Excited for Part 2 now.

 

Also went in blind, except having heard Defying Gravity, and I’m not much of a musical fan. I was completely enveloped by this movie from the jump. Had no idea the Wizard was going to be a fascist villain which took me by huge surprise. It made relistening to The Wizard and I so emotional.

Can’t wait for Part 2!

 

I just listened to Ariana’s Las Culturistas episode today and they said “holding space” at least 5 or 6 times and I think it happened before the viral interview so I want to know if it inspired the interviewer or not lol
