Can we appreciate how this is a film with a plus-sized lead and she isn't the portrayed as dumb or ugly, and she doesn't try to lose weight throughout the movie?
Michael Watt I’m glad you can forgive me, I really appreciate having a civil conversation with you, I understand how hard it is on the internet and I completely see where you are coming from. I’m sorry if I said anything too mean or out of touch on my original comment.
I still cannot get over the fact that this musical is based off of a true story, but the writers wanted to give it a happy ending, because in real life the integration was not successful and the show got cancelled.
Lmao same, this was one of my favorite movies for awhile and I’ve seen it a bunch, but I still can’t watch that scene, I have to skip it or go out of the room
A lot of people say that they had a fictional crush on Link in this movie, and I'm just sitting there like, "so y'all just gonna ignore my king Seaweed like that?"
Her part is the best part of You Can’t Stop the Beat, hands down. You couldn’t convince 10 y old me otherwise, you couldn’t convince current me otherwise. ✨✨
@@gayvalds PERIOD. like mfs still do this now. also like no hate to most tiktokers but manyy tiktokers have stolen dances from many EXCELLENT AND TALENTED black creators. and don’t give them any credit until they’re held accountable. and when they are held accountable, they get scared and delete it or end up tagging them like they should have did in the first place.
@@gayvalds and i know i’m being extra but when i was younger and use to do theatre this kinda of happened to me. like i can pretty much say i was the only black girl in the room and i was pretty much WAYY BETTER than everyone else. and one time i auditioned for ariel in the little mermaid and as a 8 year old i was fucking fabulous. but ofc i didn’t get the part. i also could tell that most of the white girls were threatened by me. others were very supportive after my audition. they gave it to the white girl ofc and no hate to her she was great but i was sooo much better. i ended up not being in the play 😭🖐🏾
What’s the funny part is the fact that all the black kids are in detention, honestly is still a prevalent problem today in America’s education system. i.e. the school to prison pipeline.
Really is, I had a teacher who kept trying to send me to detention for wearing my hair in a turban/scarf 💀 she didn't even know what it was called, she'd just say "that thing", so I tied it in a bow and she still sent me to the principle who just looked at me like "👁👄👁 what's the problem?? It's just fabric??"
Yeah, my school was functionally segregated. And, that school was across town. The schools I were zoned for were literally the worst in the county. It's a real problem and nobody really talks about it.
Idk when i lived in jersy it was the blacks and puertoricans normally acting out. Moved down south and they were as sweet as can be and it was more mexicans and whites acting out.
Reyof ; after they passed a national law sometime in the 60’s they weren’t allowed to stop black kids from going to “white schools” but they could still separate them in classes as a loophole.
@@thisisavivistanaccount7866 they technically couldn't. They would hand out detention papers like candy to black students to get them out of class. Speaking up about it got them more detention or even suspension for repeated infractions.
Call me Your Dai5y that’s why I said it was a loophole. They can’t “technically” but they found a way around it. You’re also correct about the “discipline” part though
i was one of those dumb kids who tried to look smart. so i would always be like "omg John Travolta is so amazing in Hairspray", meanwhile i didn't even know which character he played or what man's even looked like 🤦🏽♀️ it is only today... at 23 years old..... that i find out John Travolta played Tracey's mom. 😐 and i am absolutely shooketh.
The fact that you didn’t include the scene of Tracy just singing on the floor after getting hit by the dodgeball- PLS IT WAS SO FUNNY LIKE GIRL GET TF UP✋😭
FINALLY SOMEONE GIVING CORNY THE ATTENTION HE DESERVES!!! Why Corny is the best: 1. he's for integration (and he's the host of the show, so that says a lot. he would rather be integrated than have high ratings, what a king) 2. he's so kind and understanding with the cast, and even to Ms Maybelle (love queen latifah
@@marg532 He also played Cyclops who is a not a good guy in the comics LOOL. He's apart of the X-Men so he's a "superhero" but he's a bad human being XD
@@emilycanfield2634 ahh never read the comics unfortunately (really wish i had), thats interesting to know i guess they wanted to portray him as some kind of goody two shoes in the movies for some reason
In Link's defence, he's an insecure teenager who learns to be better by the end while Corny's a grown man who knows where he stands. Also Amber at the end almost not becoming a product of her mother because she kinda actually wants to dance and have a good time. Also also, I especially like the change from the original where Tracy won the pageant to Inez winning it and by the will of the people bringing about integration.
It was legit the reason why I watched this hairspray lol. I read the wiki for both movies and the musical and I decided to watch this one because I liked how in the end, Inez was the one that won.
I this is the only version of the musical I’ve seen so I just assumed that Inez won in every iteration. I’m glad that this was my introduction, Inez winning is just more satisfying and does a better job of driving home the musical’s theme of accepting and celebrating people for their differences
I agree; I think he deserves some slack and apart from him being played by Zac Efron, I never saw a problem with him. He did fall in love with Tracy, after all.
For those that don't know, she has had mental health and substance abuse issues and has taken a permanent break from acting. There are also other issues with her parents taking conservatorship over her but I don't know too much about that.
Omg, same!! I use to watch this movie *religiously* as a child and it meant even more to me as a black person myself--I love how Penny didn't fall for Seaweed because he was black but because she simply was attracted to him as a person and how when they visited the black neighborhood, they were willing to learn about and appreciate the culture instead of just stealing and using it to their advantage(like Elvis Presley did for example) and Tracey even marched with them! I can go on and on but gosh, what a great movie it is *P.S. John Travolta definitely wasn't paid enough for his performance in this movie.* I remember my mom having a problem with the fact that he was in drag but I never cared 😂
Did you watch the movie? She did fall for him because he was black. It was rebellious for her as an innocent white girl with a racist mom, to date the handsome black man who had rythm and was cool. She literally says in "without love" that she's tasted chocolate that she's never going back. If that's not fetishism I don't know what is.
i love that james marsden finished filming the xmen movies and immediately started acting in campy musical movies. like just off the top of my head in 2007 was this and enchanted. king. he has the range
@Liza Johnson woke has been a slang word used since the 60s. Laugh or don't comment. Might I add, this movie is literally set in the 60s. Unfortunately racism and segregation wasn't considered normal back. Don't hate on a fun movie musical.
@@jakedelphin1792 literally in my high school the teachers would send the black kids to detention for forgetting their homework or being late, but the white kids who screamed profanities got nothing.
@@JaneDoeValentine my school was the same with muslim students. one teacher got in trouble bc she literally gave a muslin boy detention everyday for ‘cheek’ or ‘interrupting class’ but he would literally just yawn quietly or ask someone for a pencil🙄
@@yourmomsspaghetti5990 Omg yes, 1988 version is SUPERIOR. And more accurate to 60's values. They had more direct and strong racism, but it brings a more realistic view.
~ EDIT: HEY GUYS!!! GREAT NEWS! I was able to edit out the offensive part of the video while still keeping it up for you guys to enjoy! YAY! Mayhaps youtube actually did something right after all. Anyway I am going to keep this part of my comment up as many of you still saw it and I still stand by the explanation I gave. It would be easy to just delete it all and pretend it never happened, but that's not taking accountability and I want it to be clear that I am not perfect nor know everything, BUT I am more than willing to learn and am open to conversations. I am still EMBARRASSED beyond explanation but I really appreciate you guys letting me fix the mistake and moving on. Thanks again, I love you A TON, and here's to more open communication in the future.
Didn't catch that either but it's an interesting point! I thought since it's in the script/song then it might be ok just in that context but I see how that could still be super offensive...
This movie is just too iconic to exist. Michelle Pfeiffer, Queen Latifah, and John Travolta and just gave the star power this movie deserved (and Christopher Walken). Plus everyone else in the cast gave such good performances
Im a black girl in my school we performed hairspray (it took a whole year to finally perform and I hated it all) and all the white cast who played the nicest kids had to scream "negro day' and there were only a handful of black kids doing the show and we all cringed everytime. Everyone just said it with so much enthusiasm and excitement,I know it was part of the performance but no one was showing any side of discomfort even my teacher shouted it everytime but hey... it is what ot is.
I remember in spanish class all the white kids being uncomfortable to say the word "negro" because they thought ut was pronounced the typical american way..and thought it was the same word. It also baffles me that the term colored is considered rude yet people of color isnt..to me they are the same its still separating us from white people based on the color our skin is supposed to be(because there are non white minorites that are just as pale as white people or paler) adding "people of" in front of it doesnt really soften the blow.
Okay same! We finally had enough black kids to do it and it turned out great but there was a lot of discomfort that we had to get through because the high school had a rough streak of racism. Also, it was always the white kids who were begging to do the show every year knowing damn well that it’s not a simple thing to do. Like, the disconnect was astronomical. I played one of the Dynamites and had a blast, but it took a lot for us to get through the rehearsal process and the show.
That really sucks although I’m sure at least someone was cringing on the inside😕I’m glad it’s uncomfortable when we’re reading reallyyy racist shit out loud in my English class( because who cares if famous writers say it it’s ✨literature✨) also no one actually says anything either, it’s just an awkward pause and then continuing on
Thing is thats because its a film based in 1960's and thats what it was like back then. Atleast there showing how much the blacks was mistreated back then insted of sugarcoating it.
@@mynameisnonofyourconcern8685 my English classes didn't care 😭 I had a white teacher give a whole class about why "everyone should be allowed to say the n word 🥺" and all the racist kids were excited af to read those parts
I had forgotten he was in this and recently started watching Westworld and its so sad to see him be such a good character here and compare that to his character in the first few episodes of Westworld. Hopefully it gets better for him on that show 😅
Girl, I had so many crushes that were grown older men when I was younger. Nothing wrong with having a crush on an older celeb. As long as it's just a crush. lol No illegal shit.
As a Baltimore boy whose parents worked on the original film and still know John Waters well this movie perfectly honored the original and the musical. Up to including John himself as the Flasher AND Jerry Stiller the original Wilbur as Mr. Pinky
There's a joke near the beginning where this one girl has to leave the Corny Collins show, and they ask her how long she'll be gone, and she's like, "about 9 months." I was 10 when this came out, so I didn't get it, but I watched it a couple of years later, and I was like OH NO lmaooo also this is one of my favorite musicals, I love it so much.
I should probably preface this with saying I’m black? Idk. Anyway, that Corny Collins line always randomly pops up in my head. Obviously it’s crazy, but the directness of it and it being sang is hilarious to me. Smh. Like, “sir we have our WHAT day??”.
I should also preface this by saying I'm black and have never seen this movie but was shook when I heard it j now like what?? But, I'm not mad at itttt
Eric King Lmao. You should watch it. Especially if you like musicals. Like, obviously in a serious context it wouldn’t be funny, but that line always gets me. It’s so absurd.
i was one of those dumb kids who tried to look smart. so i would always be like "omg John Travolta is so amazing in Hairspray", meanwhile i didn't even know which character he played or what man's even looked like 🤦🏽♀️ it is only today... at 23 years old..... that i find out John Travolta played Tracey's mom. 😐 and i am absolutely shooketh.
this will always go down in history as one of the most ✨ iconic ✨ musicals EVER ! the dancing, john travolta, link, the message against racism, CORNY COLLIN himself... chile wheeeew I could go on but imma stop. you've got a new subscriber in me sis 👌
Honestly this is one of the best movies I've ever seen. The casting, the plus-sized lead, the accurate portrayals of the issues in that time, the music, John Travolta as a woman staying true to the original musical, CORNY F***ING COLLINS BEING A KINGGGGG? All absolute perfection. Everything is so perfectly portrayed and I feel it all works together so well. I rewatch this movie whenever possible because it's just a work of art 🤩
my good sis is talking about how her highschool was wild, like sis don't even get me started on my MIDDLE SCHOOL with a bunch of 11 and 12 year olds 💅💅
Same everyone in my middle school is just out a control those mf's tried to burn down the school just so they could get a long break but thankfully Coronavirus took care of that for us
Mia ahhh okay sweet. And that’s honestly true, but nowadays the microaggressions are what makes it still almost as racist as it used to be. Now there’s the “socially acceptable” racism that’s still rampant. Honestly, people hate being called racist more than they actually hate racism.
When I was in high school two kids were doing it in the bathroom and someone recorded some of it on vine. That video spread like wild fire and by lunchtime everyone knew. The couple were sitting in the cafeteria, everyone started staring and the principal called them to the office. The two of theme were suspended and the guy who recorded the act was arrested for child pornography. Those restrooms were closed for the rest of the year.
Kids spread rumours for years that I was a lesbian when I was in high school so everyone stopped talking to me- little did they know I was actually pansexual and gender fluid. Aspirations, kids, be more than they think you are 😂😂
For me, it was Queen, Michelle, John, and James. For the kids, it was absolutely Elijah Kelley. I gasped and cried watching him onscreen. I felt like I was watching Sammy Davis Jr for the first time.
I love them all I think they all carried the movie but since John played a housewife in 2007 literally embodied being a woman for this role during a time which men would only dress up as woman in movies as a comedic plot so he definitely deserves the praise. Queen Latifah and Michelle are just always amazing to watch and they thoroughly played their characters and brought originality to the roles as well. James as corny was like superb. Personally all the characters really were amazing and each person brought something unique to the role 🙌🏼❤️
Omg you’re hysterical and actually me when I watch Hairspray, instantly subscribing. I love your mixture of self deprecation and confidence because girl you are GORGEOUS.
Tracy was really like “mf looked at me once, we’re getting married”
okay but that do be a mood

2020 has been so wild that I literally didn’t know that happened
i love that james marsden finished filming the xmen movies and immediately started acting in campy musical movies. like just off the top of my head in 2007 was this and enchanted. king. he has the range
Does him drunkenly singing Benny and the Jets in 27 Dresses also count? Cause 😍
he was the moment, now c'mon now
james marsden is forever iconic
Corny Collins is the most woke human being to ever exist. and that's just a fact.
PERIOD!!!
@Liza Johnson woke has been a slang word used since the 60s. Laugh or don't comment.
Might I add, this movie is literally set in the 60s. Unfortunately racism and segregation wasn't considered normal back. Don't hate on a fun movie musical.
@Liza Johnson fine. comment whatever you want, I really could care less. ✌
@Liza Johnson You know good and well this is the 1960s. He was damn woke at the time. You know what they meant.
True!!
Me, a black girl seeing u get shook abt racism and how black kids go to detention in the 60s when it’s still happening 🙃 no roast or shade but gurl
To be fair she’s never been to detention in her life 😂 me on the other hand 👀 I went every year for being late all the time 😂
😂😂😂😂 when is it happening now?
@@jakedelphin1792 literally in my high school the teachers would send the black kids to detention for forgetting their homework or being late, but the white kids who screamed profanities got nothing.

@@JaneDoeValentine my school was the same with muslim students. one teacher got in trouble bc she literally gave a muslin boy detention everyday for ‘cheek’ or ‘interrupting class’ but he would literally just yawn quietly or ask someone for a pencil🙄

u never seen this??? drop everything and watch it
Watch the 1988 version its way better and way more iconic
@@yourmomsspaghetti5990 Omg yes, 1988 version is SUPERIOR. And more accurate to 60's values. They had more direct and strong racism, but it brings a more realistic view.
I think the main reason I watched this version over the other version was because in this version, inez won, rather than Tracy.
@@_helvetixa what is that? I never got that reference.
~ EDIT: HEY GUYS!!! GREAT NEWS! I was able to edit out the offensive part of the video while still keeping it up for you guys to enjoy! YAY! Mayhaps youtube actually did something right after all. Anyway I am going to keep this part of my comment up as many of you still saw it and I still stand by the explanation I gave. It would be easy to just delete it all and pretend it never happened, but that's not taking accountability and I want it to be clear that I am not perfect nor know everything, BUT I am more than willing to learn and am open to conversations. I am still EMBARRASSED beyond explanation but I really appreciate you guys letting me fix the mistake and moving on. Thanks again, I love you A TON, and here's to more open communication in the future.
Didn't catch that either but it's an interesting point! I thought since it's in the script/song then it might be ok just in that context but I see how that could still be super offensive...
that was me too! but hey we all have room to grow and learn, i’m just happy y’all give me the chance to do it 💓

I did and I still love this movie.
@ oh no we love Hairspray. I just do not remember the racial commentary. My childhood memory is very unreliable.
I think as kids we do not remember or catch on to negative stuff and we should bring that ish into adulthood.
@@temiarvw1360 Hell no, I'm not trying to be surrounded by wolves in sheep's clothing in adulthood lol.
This movie is just too iconic to exist. Michelle Pfeiffer, Queen Latifah, and John Travolta and just gave the star power this movie deserved (and Christopher Walken). Plus everyone else in the cast gave such good performances
Im a black girl in my school we performed hairspray (it took a whole year to finally perform and I hated it all) and all the white cast who played the nicest kids had to scream "negro day' and there were only a handful of black kids doing the show and we all cringed everytime. Everyone just said it with so much enthusiasm and excitement,I know it was part of the performance but no one was showing any side of discomfort even my teacher shouted it everytime but hey... it is what ot is.
I remember in spanish class all the white kids being uncomfortable to say the word "negro" because they thought ut was pronounced the typical american way..and thought it was the same word. It also baffles me that the term colored is considered rude yet people of color isnt..to me they are the same its still separating us from white people based on the color our skin is supposed to be(because there are non white minorites that are just as pale as white people or paler) adding "people of" in front of it doesnt really soften the blow.
Okay same! We finally had enough black kids to do it and it turned out great but there was a lot of discomfort that we had to get through because the high school had a rough streak of racism. Also, it was always the white kids who were begging to do the show every year knowing damn well that it’s not a simple thing to do. Like, the disconnect was astronomical. I played one of the Dynamites and had a blast, but it took a lot for us to get through the rehearsal process and the show.
That really sucks although I’m sure at least someone was cringing on the inside😕I’m glad it’s uncomfortable when we’re reading reallyyy racist shit out loud in my English class( because who cares if famous writers say it it’s ✨literature✨) also no one actually says anything either, it’s just an awkward pause and then continuing on
Thing is thats because its a film based in 1960's and thats what it was like back then. Atleast there showing how much the blacks was mistreated back then insted of sugarcoating it.
@@mynameisnonofyourconcern8685 my English classes didn't care 😭 I had a white teacher give a whole class about why "everyone should be allowed to say the n word 🥺" and all the racist kids were excited af to read those parts
Ash: *Does a Hairspray reaction*

I have it on BluRay!

@@valeriecharlotte1257 omg i like that
I can't believe you had a crush on Zac Efron when James Marsden was right there! I guess I was a weird kid, lusting after a grown man lmao.
I had forgotten he was in this and recently started watching Westworld and its so sad to see him be such a good character here and compare that to his character in the first few episodes of Westworld. Hopefully it gets better for him on that show 😅
@@nadiar.4638 Teddy is good !!!!!
Kinda forgot that Link existed in the movie halfway through as a kid haha. Corny is hot as hell.
Girl I’m 16 and I’m still not over James Marsden in this movie 😳
Girl, I had so many crushes that were grown older men when I was younger. Nothing wrong with having a crush on an older celeb. As long as it's just a crush. lol No illegal shit.
As a Baltimore boy whose parents worked on the original film and still know John Waters well this movie perfectly honored the original and the musical. Up to including John himself as the Flasher AND Jerry Stiller the original Wilbur as Mr. Pinky
Ricki Lake was in it too, she was one of the talent scouts.

@@frauleinzuckerguss1906 No I was just wondering where it was in the video but I found it.
DAMN, this is a blast from the past. I haven't seen this movie in ages.
There's a joke near the beginning where this one girl has to leave the Corny Collins show, and they ask her how long she'll be gone, and she's like, "about 9 months." I was 10 when this came out, so I didn't get it, but I watched it a couple of years later, and I was like OH NO lmaooo also this is one of my favorite musicals, I love it so much.
"This is just a fanfiction" as an avid reader of fan fiction I can confirm this
John Travolta and Christopher Walken were my favorite couple. They’re duet is cringe and beautiful. 😂😂
Thanks Send me invite on hangout my email is tdj5183@gmail.com

I was in shock when I first watched the movie and I found out that John Travolta portrayed Edna Turnblad, I almost had a heart attack.
“HAVING NOTHING BUILDS CHARACTER.... tood-a-loo edna” best part .
I should probably preface this with saying I’m black? Idk. Anyway, that Corny Collins line always randomly pops up in my head. Obviously it’s crazy, but the directness of it and it being sang is hilarious to me. Smh. Like, “sir we have our WHAT day??”.
I should also preface this by saying I'm black and have never seen this movie but was shook when I heard it j now like what?? But, I'm not mad at itttt
Eric King Lmao. You should watch it. Especially if you like musicals. Like, obviously in a serious context it wouldn’t be funny, but that line always gets me. It’s so absurd.
Mostlyy Cornstarch girl me and my Friend song bout negro day damn near everyday

i appreciate this movie for not toning down the racism in favor of vInTaGe aEsThETiCs
i was one of those dumb kids who tried to look smart. so i would always be like "omg John Travolta is so amazing in Hairspray", meanwhile i didn't even know which character he played or what man's even looked like 🤦🏽♀️
it is only today... at 23 years old..... that i find out John Travolta played Tracey's mom. 😐
and i am absolutely shooketh.
I knew that John played Tracy's mother... but your statement about him being amazing in Hairspray is correct
this will always go down in history as one of the most ✨ iconic ✨ musicals EVER ! the dancing, john travolta, link, the message against racism, CORNY COLLIN himself... chile wheeeew I could go on but imma stop. you've got a new subscriber in me sis 👌
“Amber’s not even that good. Literally mediocre”

leslie feelsagain IT RLLY IS THOOOO 😔
Honestly this is one of the best movies I've ever seen. The casting, the plus-sized lead, the accurate portrayals of the issues in that time, the music, John Travolta as a woman staying true to the original musical, CORNY F***ING COLLINS BEING A KINGGGGG? All absolute perfection. Everything is so perfectly portrayed and I feel it all works together so well. I rewatch this movie whenever possible because it's just a work of art 🤩
I think Ash has a type to hate in every show and movie : good looking white boys LMAOOOOOO

Mia ahhh okay sweet. And that’s honestly true, but nowadays the microaggressions are what makes it still almost as racist as it used to be. Now there’s the “socially acceptable” racism that’s still rampant. Honestly,
people hate being called racist more than they actually hate racism.

they filmed the school scenes a my school in Toronto, and my tween self got to meet Zac Efron and take a picture with him
Luckyyyyy!
OmGGGGGGGG. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
But did you meet Travolta?🥺 How was he?
I was today's years old when I realised that John Travolta played Tracy's mother
bro same like what
Ikr I was so surprised!
When I was in high school two kids were doing it in the bathroom and someone recorded some of it on vine. That video spread like wild fire and by lunchtime everyone knew. The couple were sitting in the cafeteria, everyone started staring and the principal called them to the office. The two of theme were suspended and the guy who recorded the act was arrested for child pornography. Those restrooms were closed for the rest of the year.
Okay so zac didn’t sing in the first HSM cuz none of the songs were written in his key. So they got drew seeley to do it 🙄
And I’m mad that they didn’t just cast Drew Seeley. Or at least transpose the keys to fit Zach.
Allanah Davis lmaooooo but was he really? I didn’t know that. I just knew he played Troy in broadway

🤣🤣🤣
"but now I taste the chocolate , and I'm never going back " yoo 😂
Corny Collins (played by James Marsden) is a handsome man. Move over Link.
High key it’s more like Queen Latifah and Michelle Pfeiffer carried the movie
Don't forget James
For me, it was Queen, Michelle, John, and James. For the kids, it was absolutely Elijah Kelley. I gasped and cried watching him onscreen. I felt like I was watching Sammy Davis Jr for the first time.
I love them all I think they all carried the movie but since John played a housewife in 2007 literally embodied being a woman for this role during a time which men would only dress up as woman in movies as a comedic plot so he definitely deserves the praise. Queen Latifah and Michelle are just always amazing to watch and they thoroughly played their characters and brought originality to the roles as well. James as corny was like superb. Personally all the characters really were amazing and each person brought something unique to the role 🙌🏼❤️
Omg you’re hysterical and actually me when I watch Hairspray, instantly subscribing. I love your mixture of self deprecation and confidence because girl you are GORGEOUS.

"tracy is y/n" im- that's the most accurate thing i've ever heard
This is my first video of yours that I’ve watched and I love you already.
the reason they got drew seeley to sing in the first hsm was coz they didn’t think zacs voice was high enough
they can both sing but there are some notes that drew can hit that zac cant
Black Ninja i didn’t say it was his fault, i was j saying that they thought his voice didn’t fit yes zacs an amazing singer
