I confess I was a little uncomfortable in the cinema at first. I am a mature male. I love movies, and see most all of the new "non blockbuster, non comic book" releases. I had seen Katy Perry, and a short promo clip of this movie on Graham Norton a couple of weeks ago, and was impressed. So I went to the early show just to check it out.
At first I wondered if I had stumbled into a movie intended only for girls. After 5 minutes, though, I didn't care! I was completely turned around- and totally mesmerized by Katy Perry. I generally dislike pop music- but loved this movie, and love this lady.
I suspect that if you are a pop music fan, you'll go to the movie for that, and good on you. But the movie is for everyone. I was truly inspired by Katy's life, her energy, and her creative spirit. There is far too little grace and charm in this world sometimes. And we can always use a powerful inspiration.
I don't suppose there is a plot, particularly, but I will abstain from commenting on the intimate gems revealed. I will save those for you to be pleasantly surprised by.
One of the aspects of her life that shine so brightly for me is how open and innocent she is with her fans- and with us, for allowing this movie to be made. There was no big drama about it- no big pose like some tabloid "celebrities" strike on the advice of their marketing managers. None of that grasping falseness. She seems genuine, natural, and absolutely adorable.
Once of the people- her manager or agent or somebody, said he had been with her for years, and felt like a big brother towards her. He said he just wanted her to be safe to express herself. I feel the same way way now myself. I can imagine how younger and single men may imagine her as dating material- that's natural. But for me, and I suspect most adults who see this, we will simply bask in the comforting thought that such a great person is out there giving us all a gift of her amazing heart and soul every day, on stage and off.
I urge you to ignore any preconceived notions you might have had, and just go with your sweetie, or whoever you care about. You'll be uplifted!
