Special Theme: Body Images on Film
TCM, beginning at 8pm EST, Catch a Classic!
Hollywood films are notorious for the often unrealistic body types of their characters, and of actors and actresses. But once in a while, a movie will come along and buck this trend, featuring a compelling story about a character who has an appearance more relatable to an average filmgoer. Some of those titles are the subject of each Tuesday night’s TCM lineup this month. Tonight, things kick off with Hairspray (1988), John Waters’ original comedy. Ricki Lake stars as self-described “pleasantly plump” Tracy Turnblad, whose weight doesn’t stand in the way of her gaining a regular spot as a dancer on a teen music show in 1962 Baltimore (or from stealing away the boyfriend of that show’s mean reigning queen). Tracy then uses her spotlight to help champion the cause of racial integration. Next, in the 1994 Australian comedy/drama Muriel’s Wedding, Toni Collette stars as Muriel Heslop, a socially awkward young woman ridiculed by her shallow “friends.” Muriel lives her life in a daydream of ABBA songs and fantasies of a wedding that will take her away from her dead-end town, before events cause her to take a hard look at her life and gain control of it. Rounding out the schedule later this evening are Georgy Girl (1966) and Shag (1989). — Jeff Pfeiffer
