One of the film's most iconic elements is the casting of as Edna Turnblad, Tracy’s mother. Divine was Waters' long-time muse and a drag superstar. In Hairspray , the performance isn't treated as a joke or a "man in a dress" gag. Edna is a grounded, hardworking, and eventually fierce mother. This casting choice normalized drag in a domestic setting, paving the way for the art form to enter the cultural zeitgeist. 3. Comedy with a Conscience
Grasso è bello is a celebration of the "outsider." Whether you were "too big," "too different," or "too bold," John Waters created a world where those qualities made you a star. It’s a film that proves you can change the world and still have time to fix your hair.
Long before "body positivity" was a hashtag, there was Tracy Turnblad (played by Ricki Lake). Tracy didn’t want to lose weight to fit in; she wanted the world to expand to fit her. Her confidence on the dance floor of The Corny Collins Show challenged the rigid beauty standards of the 1960s (and the 1980s). By making a "pleasantly plump" teenager the most desirable dancer in Baltimore, Waters flipped the script on traditional Hollywood tropes. 2. Drag as a Mother Figure
