‘Pitch Perfect 2′ Star Chrissie Fit On Getting ‘Pitch-Slapped’ And Latino Stereotypes

The set of a low-pitched comedy isn’t accurately where we design to get physically slapped, generally by a physique of water. “But yeah, we got pitch-slapped genuine tough by a lake,” actor Chrissie Fit recently told The Huffington Post — regulating a kind of wordplay for that a “Pitch Perfect” film authorization has turn famous.

Fit, 31, had her confront with a lake while filming “Pitch Perfect 2,” a much-anticipated supplement to Jason Moore’s 2012 sleeper hit. The strange “Pitch PerfectAnna Kendrick’s chronicle of “Cups”

In a sequel, created by Kay Cannon

But with jokes about being deported and failing during sea, or roughly being sole for a duck during a age of 9, there are positively moments where a film takes Fit’s sense and steers her toward Latino-stereotype territory.

Fit, who was innate in Miami and is of Cuban descent, recently spoke to HuffPost to plead her character, a classify question, that “crazy” occurrence with a lake and more.

Tell me about your character, Flo.

She’s a unfamiliar sell tyro that comes to Barden University to continue her preparation and afterwards she’s now one of a newest singers in a Barden Bellas. we sing a drum line many of a time, that is humorous ‘cause I’m like a smallest lady personification a lowest note.

It wasn’t transparent from a start that Flo was an sell student. Do we know some-more about her credentials than what done it on screen?

I do personally. We talked about it a small bit, as distant as if we were going to be unequivocally specific on where she was from or keep it kind of a mystery. When we watched a movie, we kind of kept it a small bit some-more of a mystery, that we enjoy. It kind of reminds me a small bit like Fez on “That ’70s Show,” where no one knew where he was from.

I know where she’s from — she’s from South America and here [in a U.S.] to continue her education. But it doesn’t unequivocally make it that transparent in a movie, and we consider it’s kind of cool, actually.

Tell me about when we saw a book for a initial time. we listened we guys indeed got it flattering late.

Yeah.

So when we finally review a script, what was your initial sense of your character?

I suspicion it was hilarious. we mean, I’ve been a large fan of Kay Cannon for a prolonged time. One of my favorite shows is “30 Rock.” So we was like “This is so funny,” since it was kind of a conflicting take on a Latina character. Basically all we contend is kind of in a approach creation fun of their white lady problems, and so we apparently appreciated that a lot. we consider it was unequivocally funny, and only to be means to be spiteful and intelligent and intelligent about a amusement — we unequivocally kind of desired that too.

She’s unequivocally specific and that’s also something that we unequivocally conclude in comedy, when it’s a unequivocally kind of specific tinge and voice.

What accurately do we meant by Flo being specific?

I feel that she knows accurately what to contend and when to contend it. She’s kind of like a frigid conflicting of [Brittany Snow’s character] Chloe, in that Chloe thinks that not behaving [at] a Puppy Bowl is a finish of a world. And Flo is kind of like, “Well, not really, because…” And afterwards she gives an instance of a real-life conditions that is apparently farfetched though is a humorous dichotomy of their kind of relationship.

I can unequivocally see that. But we have to be totally honest with we — when we saw a film, we felt that a sense of Flo and her comedy relied too heavily on Latino stereotypes. The film is apparently a comedy and a lot of a amusement is unequivocally dark, though we consider there will be Latinos who wish that Flo herself had had some-more dimension. What are your thoughts on a subject?

Well we mean, initial of all, it’s a comedy. And it’s a comedy where one of a categorical characters [is named] Fat Amy and she creates fun of her earthy entrance all a time. I’m a very, unequivocally unapproachable Latina and we didn’t find offense to it. we suspicion it was a funny, intelligent approach to go about it. There’s so many examples via cinema and TV where they… kind of [play] off on that. And we consider we did, though in a conflicting way, in a intelligent way.

[Flo is] in college and removing an education. There’s a unequivocally specific partial — and assembly members will skip it — though when we’re graduating, my sense has an honors [stole]. So we know, she graduates from college with honors and it takes a unequivocally clever chairman to come from another nation where a denunciation is not their initial language. we gifted it privately entrance from Miami, where we have a lot of friends who had come from Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, and they were entrance here kind of blind. I’m unequivocally ardent about that, since we consider that people will describe to it and will also conclude it.

Plus, Flo is fundamentally my mom. If my mom had been in an a cappella organisation in college, that would substantially be Flo. we drew a lot of impulse from my mom.

Like we said, your sense graduated. But this supplement valid that it doesn’t meant past Barden Bellas can’t lapse for a subsequent film. So if there were a “Pitch Perfect 3,” what would Flo’s ideal storyline be?

Ooh, that’s a good question. we wish we could foreordain that. we would dream adult Flo being a CEO of a association and afterwards carrying to be, like, called to come behind to sing a cappella with everybody else. But she’s too bustling using a Fortune 500 association or something like that. That would be fun. Or maybe kind of holding some-more of a care purpose within a group. That would be cold to see.

This isn’t your initial low-pitched rodeo, either. You were in Disney Channel’s “Teen Beach Movie,” so how was your knowledge with “Pitch Perfect” different?

I didn’t comprehend before going into “Pitch Perfect” how formidable it was going to be to sing a cappella and dance during a same time. Just since we sang a drum line a lot of a times and a choreography was customarily to a lyrics of a song. So we kind of have to combine to be means to do things in sync and in a right frame. So it takes a lot of bid in that respect.

So we guys indeed entirely sing it out on set, not only rest on a playback?

Well yeah, we pre-record in a studio, though so that it seems authentic and it seems correct, we sing it out. we would indeed adore to see a recordings of that to see how we sound, since there’s a lot of movement. we know a lot of a cappella groups, though nothing of them are doing backflips while singing, for sure.

You guys must’ve had utterly a examination with all your onscreen antics. we can suppose it’s even some-more fun behind a scenes. What is a craziest thing that happened on set?

I can tell we right now that a craziest time we had on set was when a Green Bay Packers were there. Those boys are fun and humorous and violent and crazy. we adore them. But also there was one indicate when we were during a a cappella foot stay and we had to burst off into a dump rebound and afterwards into a lake, and a attempt man jumped off of cave so that we could burst aloft than a other girls, ‘cause I’m flattering tiny. And we over-rotated and literally got pitch-slapped by a lake, unequivocally hard. There was a impulse of overpower after we strike a water, since everybody didn’t know what had happened to me. And afterwards we popped out out of a H2O and was like, “I’m OK! I’m good.”

“Pitch Perfect 2” premieres in theaters national May 15. This talk has been edited and precipitated for clarity.
