In the film HEATHERS, the narration of the films plot demonstrates the carelessness and lack of genuine feelings produced by teenagers. From the very beginning of the movie in the opening scene, the film shows the three girls stomping over a rose path. This choice of narrative explores how the roses that someone worked hard to achieve meant nothing to the girls, therefore they could stomp on them all they desired too. The film continues on into the lunchroom scene in which the films narrative brings up another strong point. The point that teenagers have little depth to their friendships and to their lives in general. In the lunchroom scene we are taken on a tour of the cliques in the school. Like every school there are the jocks, nerds, potheads, wealthy kids,etc. But the similar charectaristic in each group is their lack of concern with each other. Their selfish attitudes and behaviors consume every idea and action. This aspect of narrative points out the selfish behaviors of the youth then and …show more content…
While problems such as bulimia, suicide, and murder continue to come up throughout the film, the charectars are rarely affected by it. This shows how the narration proves that teenagers do not care about the world unless it directly impacts them. In one particular scene this idea of ignorance plays out when after a funeral a charectar in the film desides to wash her hair with the holy water at the cathedral. This demonstrates multiple points of disrespect and ignornance. This issue doesn’t just reside with the teens, but even trickles to the adults. After one of the suicides in the film the teachers are having a conference. In the conference they are trying to decide how much time the students should get off. While the teachers could care less about the suicide and don’t even recognize the name of the student that passed, the feel that they are obligated because she was a
These chapters are trying to teach you that regardless of all the groups of friends out there, don’t feel like you have to be part of any group. For an example in the text it says that “Maddie and Evelyn are at one table and Rosie and her sporty friends are at another table, both groups want Louisa to join their group for breakfast, but she doesn't know what table she should eat at because none of the groups are her type and she doesn’t want to start any drama or arguments with her friends/roommates.” Louisa doesn’t have to feel a part of any of theses groups because she says they are not her type and you don’t have to part of any groups. This example proves that the author did a good job because it’s showing you that it’s okay to be alone sometimes because you don’t always have to be with your friends and groups, also you should wait until there’s a good type for you of groups of friends in life. You should never feel like you have to be part of every single group in life. Another example from the novel that proves the main message is where it says in the text “ Evelyn is very smart, Rosie is sometimes mean, depends what mood she’s in and loves to play sports, Maddie is sometimes negative about little things, and Louisa love's the boarding school ” because everyone has a different personality it’s hard to find the right
This film contains some classic examples of the kinds of real life issues adolescents deal with. Issues such as popularity, peer relationships, family/sibling relationships, sex, and struggles with identity are all addressed in this ninety-minute film.
The movie The Breakfast Club is a perfect example of peer relationships in the adolescent society. It shows the viewer some of the main stereotypes of students in high school you have a jock, a nerd, the weirdo, a rebel, and a prep. Over the course of a Saturday detention the different types of peers learn a lot about one another by hearing what each one has done to get into Saturday detention as well as why they chose to do it.
The famous the note that was left by the teens in detention at the end of the movie shows the social connection between each of their roles in society and how those are tie to society. The teens use the stereotypical names to tell Mr. Vernon who they think they are; the brain, the athlete, the basket case, the princess, and the criminal, they use the names that society has given them because of their reputations, hobbies and looks. They each realize throughout the movie that there is something that connects them to one another which makes them all realize that no matter the stereotypical separation between them, they all have some things in common and can work together for a common goal.
Despite an inappropriate music-video sequence and a phony up-tempo finale, The Breakfast Club offers a breakthrough portrait of the pain and misunderstanding which result from the social hierarchy created by youth themselves. The lookers and the jocks are popular and can do whatever they want — except relate to those outside their social circle of winners.
The movie is very relatable as most high school students have all thought about how nice it would be to just have one day off school. Though, a typical day of hookey for most students probably does not involve “borrowing” a Ferrari, scheming your girlfriend out of school, and living it up for a day in Chicago with two of your closets pals. Yet, Ferris’s acts make one think that they deserve an innocent day off school every once and a while. In fact, to quote Ferris “How can I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this?” Sometimes all anyone needs a nice day off to feel refreshed.
On Saturday July 29th, 2017, I was able to catch one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a while, Girls Trip. I was able to view the movie with four of three of friends of mines at the Regal Moorestown Mall Stadium 12 & RPX, located in Moorestown, New Jersey. My experience started with the aromas of popcorn. I am one of those type who has to have popcorn with lots of butter while enjoying a movie. After I purchased my popcorn and bottled water I was ready to enjoy this night with my friends. However, I wasn’t the one who purchased the tickets so the seats choices where horrible. They were floor level, on the very far right and third row. Still trying to make the best out of it I reclined my see as far back as possible so my neck would bother me the during the movie. The theater was packed, mostly with women.
Michael Lehman’s film “Heathers”, which was released in 1988, is a teen-drama film that stereotypes an “all-girl clique” in school. The title “Heathers” refers to a group or clique of four girls in Westburg High School wherein three of them are named Heather and meanwhile the fourth member is named Veronica. This film is coated with noir and mischief which is presented in a “bright colored” setting—- completely irrelevant to the theme of the film. “Heathers” also happens to be insanely funny and in fact, it may be the cruelest fun you can have.
It is soon after that she successfully commits suicide and despite the Lisbon parents tightening their grip on their remaining daughters, the family is sent into utter turmoil. As the girls continue to test the waters of being independent-- going out on dates, making friends with the boys in the neighbourhood, attending school dances-- their parents also grow more protective. It is their lack of independence that ultimately leads to rest of the sisters to kill themselves in a suicide pact. It is a tragic series of events, one that should have no business in a teen movie, but that, in a way, is the point of The Virgin Suicides. It is not supposed to be happy or positive. It is a hard look at the lowest points of growing up, and a statement that even those who are innocent and seem to have it all can fall victim to
When Stephen tries to recapture Kate, in the scene in the primary school, he too is overwhelmed by childhood. Without thinking he is drawn into a lesson and becomes a stereotyped student until he is able to break out of this strange reality and return to ...
At this point of the story it is reflective of a teenager. A teenager is at a time in life where boundaries and knowledge is merely a challenging thing to test and in some instances hurdled. Where even though you may realize the responsibilities and resources you have, there is still a longing for the more sunny feelings of youth.
The main character of the movie, Jimmy, is able to give a good view at these relationships, as he struggles to fit into school after school, never truly knowing what the purpose is. As Jimmy says to Buzz when contemplating the “chicken” game they are about to partake in, “Why do we this” to which Buzz replies “Well, you got to do something. Don’t you?”(). While this dialogue is somewhat unrealistic, it serves to show how a lack of real responsibility, and control in society, can drive youth to do unpresented, and sometimes even stupid actions, with no visible outside reason as to why. With countless more of these depictions of the relationship between youth and society, “A Rebel Without a Cause”, proves to be a great movie, for teenagers looking to understand themselves, their peers, and the world around them, and also provides a good look for adults to understand the youth of their society in a clearer
The film the “Breakfast Club,” is a movie about a group of stereotypical teenagers whom all received detention and must report to school on a Saturday. These students are known as Brian the “brain,” Claire the “princess,” Andrew the “athlete,” John the “criminal,” and Allison the “basket case.” Despite the different groups, they belong to, each student learns they are not as different as they thought they once were from one another. Spending eight hours with one another helps them, not only form a bond, but figure out their own identity as well. When taking a closer look, psychologically, the audience learns that they behave certain ways because of how they were brought up and what is expected of them by the people that they surround themselves with.
HEATHERS is a movie based in 1988, it’s about 4 teenage highschool girls who trying to get popularity at their school. It has been a success, it was very accurate, the author didn’t really used a lot of settings for his movie to portray it accurately, but he was mostly based on the most important part “high school”The movie HEATHERS set the film’s mise-en-scene (visually) reveal character and shape my feelings by using the setting he creates space. By taking 3 teenage high school girls and calling them heathers, he clearly shows us that the principal characters of the movie are bullies and are trying to get more popular than what they already are by humiliating and being mean to other people, by doing so he’s making the most part of the movie
