If you've spent your life as a misunderstood outcast and always challenged traditional notions of good and evil, yet you are still an empathetic and deeply compassionate soul, you are a variant of "Elphaba Thropp."
Wicked is
based on the Broadway musical, story of the Witches of Oz: Glinda the Good and
Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of The West was originally adapted from a novel, The Wizard of Oz, but reimagined. Both witches explore their complex
friendship until some twist of events leads to Elphi’s vilification.
Wicked is a
beloved work of art for a dear friend of mine, who has shared how it profoundly
changed his life and perspectives. When he encouraged me to watch the movie, I
agreed, even though I wasn't entirely sure what to expect.
The
strength of the movie lies in the performances of the lead actors -- the
chemistry between Ariana Grande (Galinda/Glinda) and Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba/Elphi)
serves as the emotional core of the story. The visuals and production are striking,
and the iconic songs, especially my favorite, "Defying Gravity," hit
all the right notes. I resonated with Elphaba during her anthem and cried along
with her, as Defying Gravity, is a powerful declaration of self-empowerment and
individuality.
If you want to catch sight of an unforgettable blend of friendship, acceptance, and political intrigues rolled into a single shot -- Wicked is a captivating musical movie you shouldn’t miss!
