For those who haven’t watched Pitch Perfect 3 yet, be prepared for some spoilers ahead.
If you haven’t caught the movie yet, perhaps now is a good time to explore our other engaging articles.
In the latest installment of Pitch Perfect, the focus shifts back to Beca, emphasizing her talent in creating beats that captures the attention of DJ Khaled’s music producer, Theo.
Rather than embarking on a romantic journey with Theo as originally intended by the writers, Beca remains true to her charming yet independent self, thanks to Anna Kendrick’s refusal to film a scene involving a kiss with her colleague at the end of the movie.
Anna Kendrick voiced her concerns about the romantic subplot between Beca and Theo, citing potential problematic implications.
She believed that portraying a romance between her character and someone offering her a career opportunity solely based on talent would convey a message she was uncomfortable with.
Her decision to decline the romantic angle added depth to the storyline and humor, portraying Beca’s witty rejection of Theo’s advances throughout the film.
Pitch Perfect 3 encompasses various romantic elements without necessitating a love interest for Beca.
Chloe, played by Brittany Snow, finds herself drawn to a young serviceman named Chicago, while the reserved Lilly forms a connection with one of the performers on the USO tour without exchanging many words.
The absence of a romantic arc for Beca highlights her dedication to pursuing a music career rather than a romantic entanglement.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Anna Kendrick expressed surprise at the movie’s choice to steer Beca towards a music career instead of her longstanding aspiration to become a producer.
Despite her initial reservations, Kendrick acknowledged the film’s success in justifying this narrative shift, showcasing Beca’s evolution within the music industry.
While Universal has promoted Pitch Perfect 3 as the final installment in the trilogy, leaving room for a potential sequel depending on its box office performance, the movie effectively concludes the Bellas’ journey.
Whether this marks the conclusion of Beca’s story or hints at future adventures for the group remains to be seen.
