“Arranging is everything.”
I love this movie because it has superb arranging. Any musician will tell you that “arranging [the editing of music] is everything.” My father was an arranger for the Dorsey Brothers Big Band, I am very proud to say. The narrative in Pitch Perfect is pedestrian—but the interlaced vocals are naught short of spectacular; and the casting ain’t bad either. Rebel Wilson picked up the whole movie and ran with it, and was tear-drop inducing while doing it.
I design and sell obscenely expensive custom home audio systems, and the finale composite from Pitch Perfect is a deal closer.
Every. Fucking. Time.
I loved you, Dad.
