Stomp

When I hear the term "musical", I usually think of performers reciting lines and singing for a majority of their performance, but "Stomp" was quite the opposite. I found Stomp to be very fascinating because a group of people were able to create different pieces of music with the use of common objects, anywhere from Zippo lighters, brooms, trash cans, and even trash itself. It was interesting that there was minimal, if not lacking entirely, talking during the performances, which reminded me of a clown's performance at a circus because it's their performance, not their dialogue or monologue, which is supposed to keep the audience's attention. It was also interesting seeing how the performers interacted by looking at one another to make sure that they were with the tempo of the song, as well as silently communicate with one another. My favorite of the different performances included the segments with the rubber tubes, the newspaper, and the plastic water jugs. I liked the piece with the plastic water jugs because it reminds me of what I would imagine a bubble's song to sound like, as well as a song associated with water. I also liked the segments with the rubber tubes and the newspaper because they were aesthetically pleasing, but I liked them more for their comedic touch. This movie made me laugh out loud many a times, which is a great thing for me because I love to laugh and not very many movies make me laugh like they should. Overall, I would really recommend this movie to others because the entire process is very intriguing.
