Comically Missing the Point: In Act I and some of Act II, all Berenger cares about is whether African rhinos have one or two horns (It’s Indian rhinoceroses that have one horn). This is before he realises that the rhinos all used to be human beings. Did Not Get the Girl: Daisy, the girl Berenger is in love with, decides to become a rhinoceros at the end. Drowning My Sorrows: Bereneger at the beginning of the play. Dwindling Party: One by one, everyone starts turning into a rhinoceros, until only Berenger is left. The Eeyore: Lethargic, apathetic, impassive Berenger, at least in the first act. But then she changes her mind and leaves him to join them. Hypocritical Humor: In Act I http://www.selectivelets.com/25390/, Jean tries to help Berenger to snap out of his alcoholic depression. His encouragements work. and then he announces that he’s going out for a drink with friends. The Insomniac: Berenger in Act III, who is so scared of turning into a rhinoceros that he can’t sleep at night and has to take barbituates to set himself straight. Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Jean recommends that Berenger go and see „one of those Ionesco plays”. Only Sane Man: Berenger, whom everyone seems to think is mad for not conforming. He does go into a Sanity Slippage in the third act, but manages to reaffirm himself. Rhino Rampage: And it only gets worse throughout. Screaming Woman: A housewife with a cat, frequently. That Poor Cat: A rhinoceros tramples a woman’s cat. Translation Convention: Productions of the show that are in any language but its native French will retain Berenger’s line about how he’s speaking French. Unusually Uninteresting Sight: The first rhinoceros, but only to Berenger.
Haley and her teammates eventually make it to the National Championship. When one of the girls, Mina (Maddy Curley), is denied her rightful ’10’ for the reason of having a bra strap showing (an ancient and rarely invoked rule, only brought up because of Mina’s teacher), the other girls band together in an attempt to fight the judging system. Alpha Bitch: Joanne. Tricia too. Artistic License Sports: Though the film is impressively researched, the filmmakers did ignore one critical fact at Nationals to be in contention for a vault medal, a gymnast must perform two vaults from two different vault families. Mina only performs one. This omission is likely due to dramatic license two vaults would only complicate the plot needlessly. As Himself: Nastia Liukin had a small role two years before she won Olympic gold. Gymnastics fans will recognize Bart Conner, Tim Daggett, and Elfi Schlegel as commentators, and some of the gymnasts in the background as NCAA gymnasts. Bait and Switch Boss: The film builds up the rivalry between Haley and Tricia, but at nationals Tricia is superseded by the judges themselves, who use antiquated rules to punish gymnasts and coaches they dislike. Tricia even joins Haley’s rebellion. Brutal Honesty:Haley: What if I decide not to come back.
