The movie not only showcases significant lessons, but it does this through a medium of carefully crafted cinematography, acting, story writing, and soundtrack. Choosing Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo as the leads of this perfectly composed musical, was a great choice, their exquisite melding voices gave the movie its body and soul. In short, their acting and voice tied the knot between the original Broadway show and a commercial film. Furthermore, the filmmakers express this through various colorful, joyful, and emotional scenes throughout the two-hour course run. Giving the movie a place of its own, emerging from the bounds, and making it into something bigger and captivating, that will stick with me. Wicked demonstrates a beautiful cinematic representation of finding your path in life, although you may have to go against the majority. Holding on to your morals, and what you know is right, even though others may not feel the same. Throughout the story, Elphaba is excluded from others because of her green skin, which is completely out of her control. Furthermore, her relationships and experiences with Galinda, showed her how to truly love herself and be comfortable in the person she is. Thus, acknowledging that her green skin does not define who she is but rather just a part of her. If she can put her mind to something, her mind, aspirations, and power are "limitless". Standing up for the rights of animals and calling out the wrongful use of magic commemorating her individuality and challenging common standard beliefs. This was especially showcased in the song, "Defying Gravity', where Elphaba realizes the unlimited power of her magic, and herself. Overall, this movie encompasses many important moral issues and the importance of loving who you are. Therefore, pursuing the truth of who you are and the truth of your place in the world inspires me, to hold these values and stay true to myself despite what others say. Not to mention, Wiked, even though set in the mystical and fantasy world, of Land of Oz, illustrates that anyone can make a difference in the world regardless of where they come from. Elphaba realizes that she needed to make a chance to defy, the "Great Wizard of Oz", to save the animals from discrimination. I am a fan of Wicked because it is a tale that resonates with the spirit of passion and perseverance. Similarly, to Elphaba, I desire to use my college education to help create a better life for the unfortunate. Growing up in a small, southern, low income in South Georgia, was not particularly easy, and not the background that most people would expect to make change. Despite the challenges, I can accomplish my goal, of helping in the field of biomedical science to discover solutions to various diseases. This overall theme of courage, understanding one another differences, and going against the grain, is something I profoundly respect and appreciate. Your background, identity, or power should not decide whether or not you have the right to help others. All that matters, is that you have faith, passion, and the perseverance to make it happen. And, that everyone truly does "deserve the chance to fly".
