You Call Yourself Fat Amy?

In the movie Pitch Perfect, Fat Amy is a character who’s personality is so outrageous and hilarious.  She is an overweight college student in an all-female a capella group made up of not-your-average show choir girls.  Fat Amy has chosen to embrace her stature, which I think is wonderful.  When asked why she calls herself Fat Amy she replies, “so twig bitches like you don’t do it behind my back”.  This comment is very sad, yet true. I believe that Fat Amy can be a role model for many women out there that you do not need to have a tiny waist in order to be talented and sexy.  She even turns down a kiss from the most popular singer in their rival men’s group, the Trebles, by saying, “sometimes I have the feeling I could do crystal meth, but then I think… mmm, better not”.  Fat Amy makes it very apparent that she is confident in her self through her words and actions.  Fat Amy is also incredibly hilarious, going against the norm that women cannot be funny. Fat Amy is so confident in herself, I find it inspiring.  She is not afraid to speak her mind or show her true personality.  She realizes that everyone around her is skinny and still finds comfort and confidence in herself and adds, “even though some of you are pretty thin, you all have fat hearts, and that’s what counts”.  I think we should all learn a little something from Fat Amy.
