They always bust out in song at random times."Īnother observation I made was that everyone made fun of the songs, yet they all knew every word of them. For instance, my roommate made fun of the scene where Julie is reading her letter from Wally and starts singing, by saying in a very sarcastic tone, "ya, because I always sing while reading letters." At that point I turned to her and said, "Are you kidding me? That's what they do in every musical. Why do members of the church hate this movie SO much? I'll admit the movie is totally cheesy and bad, but in my opinion so is every other musical. My roommates also took every opportunity to make fun of the movie. For instance, one of his roommates walked in halfway through the movie and immediately said, "What are you doing? That's my VCR you're playing that on!" Another of his roommates walked in and started belting the songs (that was the nicest response I got, although who knows if he was being sardonic or not). While watching it at my brothers place with some of my friends (who assured me that they were only watching it with me to keep me company and to be good friends) I witnessed a lot of negativity towards the film.
He said yes but it was obvious he was a little embarrassed about it. However, I don't have a VCR in my apartment so I had to ask my brother if I could watch it at his. Also, I hoped to watch it in the safe, privacy of my own apartment, assured that no one would walk in on me watching it. When I told my roommates I was watching Saturday's Warrior I immediately found myself having to quickly explain that it was for a class (implying that there was no way I would choose to watch it on my own). What most intrigued me was how aggressively opposed to the movie EVERYONE was. I recently watched the Mormon musical Saturday's Warrior for the first time in probably 10 years and I must say it was a very interesting experience.
