High School Musical 3

If High School Musical 3: Senior Year is a full-stop of the HSM series, the prom in the musical also means an end of the puberty that the young adults of East High have to step forward to the adulthood, a world full of sex and violence, hatred, jealousy, drug addiction where they have to face a life of uncertainties.

The musical kicked off with the scene and a strong beat hip-hop music Now and Never that the Wildcats Basketball Team of East High School had only 16 minutes left to gain two scores to win the game. At such a crucial moment, Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens) stood up, sang and celebrated Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) for his heroic spirit. Her melodious sentences had heightened the excitement of the team and they finally notched the game. Such team spirit was once challenged when Ms Darbus (Alyson Reed) announced that the teens had to present their best in a prom for East High, but the spirit lasted till the end of the prom, plus their achievement – they received awards from the Julliard School, Stanford University and other renowned colleges to pursue higher education.

During weeks of rehearsals, these teens were facing the reality step-by-step: the sudden separation of everything: love partner, friendship, the Wildcats teammates, and the team spirit. The sudden change: the crossroads from puberty to adulthood forced them to make decisions that they had to sacrifice something before they gained. As the director Kenny Ortega said, “They’re leaving their childhood behind, and then making all important choices about higher education, their futures and who they wanna be.”

Rather than saying that it’s a pure musical, it is a portrayal of how teens grow to be adults when one day they leave school for higher education. The most salient shot to portray this message is when Troy was dancing alone on stage, frustrated, while Ms Darbus witnessed his frustration and made a note that he should think about his future and follow his heart for dreams. But the reality was the fact that love affairs could not be brought to the adulthood once he separated from Gabriella. The reality is always cruel and unfeeling, yet the frustration and worries have energised these teens to make the best decisions during the honeymoon.

In terms of costumes, HSM3 has injected a lot of colours into every bit – the red basketball gear, Sharpay Evan’s (Ashley Tisdale) costumes, her locker and car as well as the stage design. The message of youth is robust, while Sharpay’s extravagant locker in school symbolises the individualism and freedom that the US schools teens can enjoy. This film has indeed left us a glimpse of the US teens’ lifestyle today.
The only flaw of HSM3 is the simplicity and idealism of today’s teens: no sex violence, no drug abuse and bullying. But with the consideration of a Walt Disney picture, this is a fair judgment for its innocence and cleanliness. Parents can be relieved to let their teens enjoy the movie without worrying them being brainwashed with violence and drug abuse.
