After watching this movie, I have concluded not all happy love ending movies are cheesy and just are “lovey dovey.” In the movie “10 things I Hate About You,” there were many examples of implicit and explicit meaning. Whether they were completely obvious or they were hiding in the shadows. This was my first time to ever watch this movie. Before I watched this film, all I knew was the title. When I read the title, “10 Things I Hate About You,” I immediately expected a “chick flick.” Well I was wrong, this movie ended up having qualities of a Shakespeare play. If you have been in a relationship, you will understand that more than likely that women’s’ emotions influence their actions. If the guy does something idiotic, like usually, (speaking …show more content…
On the second play through, I focused on what exactly was in front of me. I was looking for the explicit meaning. This was difficult for me to do because I like to read in-between the lines. I am going to start with the title of the movie (10 Things I Hate About You). Kat created a poem listing 10 things she hates about Patrick. She wrote this poem because she felt betrayed as well as used after finding out that Patrick got paid to take her out. The explicit meaning of the film has two daughters. One is Bianca, which is the one I admired because of her modesty and looks. While the older sister, Kat, is reviled and despised because of her shallow, independent, and loud mouth. While the father is, protective and created strict rules for them to listen to. Two guys still attempt to date the girl Bianca mainly because of her looks. Although the obstacle that is created by themselves, and by the father, they still win over the girls. The two to win were Patrick and Cameron. Patrick ended up falling in love with Kat. When he was just paid to take her out. Cameron fell in love on the first sight of Bianca. Cameron knew joey wanted to get with her as well so he decided to manipulate joey into paying
Other than his teacher, he has two best friends named Patrick and his step sister Sam. Patrick is a happy and care free guy who happens to be homosexual and has a hard time dealing with that in school due to bullying, especially because his secret boyfriend named Brad, who is the quarterback of the football team, doesn’t want anyone to know about their relationship. Sam is Patrick’s step sister and a senior in high school. She has a boyfriend named Craig who is also a senior and has to reject Charlie when he confesses his love for her because of him. Charlie was hurt when Sam rejected him, so Patrick helped him find a new girl to crush on.
Ten Things I Hate About You is a 1999 film based upon the play The Taming of the Shrew written by William Shakespeare in 1593. The storyline of these two texts is about a boy named Cameron (or Lucentio in the play) who falls in love with Bianca, a popular girl at his school. Due to her father’s orders, she isn’t allowed to date anyone until her older sister Kat (known as Katharina in the play) does. The trouble is, Kat is the opposite of Bianca - unpopular and not intending to date anyone any time soon. In an attempt to solve this problem, Cameron persuades Joey (both Hortensio and Gremio in the play), a wealthy boy who also has feelings for Bianca, to pay Patrick (or
In my opinion, the purpose of the poem is to bring awareness to the loss of aboriginal culture in society today. This is because the poem gives a perspective on city life and how it has affected her memories of what her life used to be like. It gives us insight to
Kat on the other side is a firm believer that you need to do what you think is right and not live up to other people’s expectations “why should I live up to other people’s expectations instead of my own”. With Kats beliefs Bianca can’t, have the freedom to do what she wants to do and is trapped by Kats decisions. Cameron sees Bianca on his first day at the new school and is determined to win her over. When he finds out that she likes Joey, he plans to kill two birds with one stone. He got Joey to pay Patrick to win over Katerina and then Bianca would be free for Cameron to claim her.
After the wedding Lucentio forces Katharine to leave with him to his country house, telling her now she is his property and that he may as he pleases with her. As they reach his old country house he continues to “tame” Katharine by starving her and depriving her of sleep for several days, he tells her that he loves her so much and cannot let her eat this inferior food or to sleep in his poorly made bed. Cameron, the character in “Ten things I hate about you” is a good natured, romantic, young gentleman who generally cares about Bianca and has liked her for as long as he can remember.
The poem begins with the speaker, the daughter, describing how the sky “has been dark for many years,” giving the poem a dark and murky mood. She compares her own skin to her mothers, pale from the lack of sunlight, realizing that her body is beginning to change just as her mothers did as she grew old. The realization worries her, as she secretly longs for freedom from the chore of taking care of her aging mother. But
Although the little girl doesn’t listen to the mother the first time she eventually listens in the end. For example, in stanzas 1-4, the little girl asks if she can go to the Freedom March not once, but twice even after her mother had already denied her the first time. These stanzas show how the daughter is a little disobedient at first, but then is able to respect her mother’s wishes. In stanzas 5 and 6, as the little girl is getting ready the mother is happy and smiling because she knows that her little girl is going to be safe, or so she thinks. By these stanzas the reader is able to tell how happy the mother was because she thought her daughter would be safe by listening to her and not going to the March. The last two stanzas, 7 and 8, show that the mother senses something is wrong, she runs to the church to find nothing, but her daughter’s shoe. At this moment she realizes that her baby is gone. These stanzas symbolize that even though her daughter listened to her she still wasn’t safe and is now dead. The Shoe symbolizes the loss the mother is going through and her loss of hope as well. This poem shows how elastic the bond between the daughter and her mother is because the daughter respected her mother’s wish by not going to the March and although the daughter is now dead her mother will always have her in her heart. By her having her
10 Things I Hate About You takes William Shakespeare’s classic play, The Taming of the Shrew and manages to make it relevant to a modern audience. The story remains the same with the younger sister, Bianca, not allowed to have a relationship until her older sister, Kat, does. They did maintain several original scenes and even used several direct quotes from the original play. The writers have eliminated some of Bianca’s suitors and changed the way Kat is tamed to appeal to a modern audience. Shakespeare would have agreed with the casting of the movie. This movie may turn Shakespeare’s work into a teen comedy but it maintains many of the elements that made the play such a hit.
There is no good and proper time to fall in love. In fact, most love stories derive from the most unlikely of circumstances. When two successful, career-driven individuals set out to advance their career at the unsuspecting expense of each other, the idea of falling in love couldn’t have been further from their minds. In the Paramount Studios 2003 film, “How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days”, what began as a selfish work project for a young successful man and woman, ultimately ended in the pair falling in love. Both parties are challenged to manipulate one another for their own personal gain. Throughout the film we see the interpersonal communication between the pair as they set out to achieve their goals over the course of a 10 day period. They are torn between victorious outcome of their challenge and keeping their selfish focus of their career advancement, and how they truly begin to feel about one another.
The poem becomes personal on line 10 when she uses the first person and says “I lost my mother’s watch”. She is letting the reader know what she has lost in reality. Then she gets sidetracked to mention other things she has lost; she then mentions other things she has lost of much more importance such as houses, continents, realms, and cities, but then again mentions it was not so hard to lose those things. But in the end, mention the loss that really matters. She remembers the qualities of the lover she lost.
The comical, intriguing and riveting ‘ 10 Things I Hate About You’ directed by Gil Junger was no doubt excellently coordinated. Stephen Hunter of Washington Post assures ,“It’s a celebration of young American women, finding them…tougher…than any movie.”. This film adaptation of ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ was remodeled into the modern storyline of the alluring Bianca Stratford who is forbidden to date by her overprotective father until her insurgent sister Kat does. This ensues competition between Cameron (Lucentio) the new comer and Joey Dunner the attractive model who both attempt to win Bianca. Cameron pursues Bianca under pretenses by becoming her French tutor whereas Joey pays Patrick (Petruchio) to undergo the burdensome task of winning Kat's heart.
When the late 1990’s movie, Ten Things I Hate About You, released many fans praised the movie for its unique storyline and creative characters. But in fact the concept behind this romantic comedy is not new but was derived from two historical pieces of literature. In 1595, Shakespeare wrote his famous play “The Taming of the Shrew” which drew inspiration from Don Juan Manuel’s short story, “Of What Happened to a Young Man Who Married a Strong and Ill-tempered Woman”, which was written 20 years earlier in 1575 (The Editors of Encyclopedia Britannica). All three stories focus on a woman considered to be unworthy of love because she is too headstrong and opinionated. Secondary characters in all three stories believe the main female character
10 Things I Hate About You and The Taming of the Shrew “Where did you come from, planet loser?” exclaimed Bianca, the popular younger sister. The humorous movie, 10 Things I Hate About You, staged in 1999 about an opinionated, sharp-tongued older sister, constantly degrading and criticizing people all around her, who finally finds love, is somewhat familiar. Although it might seem crazy that a high school and teenage life centered movie might somehow be based on classic literature, it actually borrows the same storyline from the Shakespeare play, The Taming of the Shrew (TOTS). As a modern interpretation it not only includes the same characters but also the same characteristics associated with them. Additionally, it includes the same plot sequence
The romantic drama, directed by Nick Cassavetes from a screenplay by Jeremy Leven and adapted by Jan Sardi from the novel, is a rollercoaster definition of true love. It is told in recollection of memories as Duke (James Garner) reads excerpts audibly from a love story to Allie Calhoun (Gena Rowlands) a patient suffering from Alzheimer 's.The theme is going above and beyond for someone who you genuinely love, and how sometimes you will never stop loving someone no matter what happens between you and them or the struggles and hardships that may get in between. Allie’s heart is so troubled by this love story about Noah, a poor Southern boy who works in a lumberyard, and his wealthy girlfriend, who is also coincidently named Allie, that for terse moments his readings re-generate her cloudy memory into focus. “The Notebook” shows how miracles can happen by having Allie remember memories from many years ago despite her
I was slightly confused when I read this poem at first, but it became apparent from the rich metaphors, that it was about the sexual relation between the woman and man. It is also about conception - or rather the potential of creating a child from this sexual act - told from the woman's point of view.
