Hairspray is about an overweight teenager, Tracy Turnblad, who has big hair and an even bigger heart. Tracy has a passion of dancing and her dream is to appear on The Corny Collins Show, which is Baltimore’s hippest dance show on TV for teenagers. In this movie, each and every one of the characters has different personalities that make them only one of its kind and significant to the movie. Hairspray demonstrates various underrepresented characters in today’s culture throughout the movie. The main character that stuck out more to me in the movie is Tracy Turnblad, and she is underrepresented in today’s ethnicity for being overweight. It’s not right to be mistreated because of your weight, how you look or even how you view things in life. Everybody is different, and unique in their own shape and form. The movie Hairspray not only talked about weight but also about race, sexual orientation and religion, those groups are underrepresented as well. Are they being underrepresented in a good way or bad way? It all depends on how people act towards them and how they show their values in things. Tracy Turnblad is a beautiful plus sized girl. Every day Tracy’s dad tells her to follow her dreams, while her mother Edna reminds her that she doesn't look like the girls on the show. Tracy doesn't fit in with everyone else, because her plus sized figure has always set her apart from the cool crowd but that didn't stop Tracy for going after her dreams. She’s a loyal friend to Penny, Seaweed, and Link. She’s very outgoing, always stood up for what is right, she’s confident, and she never gave up no matter what. Any obstacle that came her way she never backed down from it. Throughout the movie, Tracy was prejudged based on her looks and people kept trying to belittle her to make her feel less important. Instead of admitting that Tracy has talent and good looks, they made fun of her because she was larger than others and she as well supported integration and they were against it. You shouldn't judge someone till you know them and even if you know them they don't deserve to be judge. They didn't even give Tracy a chance to express herself, they just seen her and kicked her to the side all because of her size. This played a huge part in Tracy life. Not being accepted for who you are is very challenging and bad. So people only looked at her based on what others think or see of her instead of actually trying to let her be herself. So basically, they just threw her under the bus because she was overweight and didn't look like everybody else. Tracy never let her size get in the way, she knew she had talent and she wanted everyone to know it. You couldn't help but to love
