This week I have watched Silver Linings Playbook. I love this movie. It is my absolute most favorite movie that I have ever watched. In my opinion it is a very funny and romantic movie. I have seen this movie before I had watched it with my class. I did not expect such explicit language. I also didn’t expect Pat, the main character, to go on about Nicki for so long. I also did not expect for Pat and Tiffany to get together in the end, since he was going on about Nicki for the whole movie. I did not read any reviews about this movie before I had watched it for the first time. I don’t like reading reviews on movies, because there could be a spoiler alert in them. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who hasn’t seen it. This is a really …show more content…

  • Teen Movies: Pretty in Pink and Ferris Buellers Day Off by John Hughes

    1621 Words  | 4 Pages

    Almost everyone in America today has seen one of John Hughes’ iconic 1980’s teen movies. From Pretty in Pink, to Ferris Buellers Day Off, these iconic 80’s hits are still viewed as pop culture even two decades after their release. None of John Hughes movies has had as great an impact on society in America as The Breakfast Club. The 1980’s in America were filled with nuclear threats from the Cold War, President Reagan’s war on drugs and an increasing gap in wealth distribution. Even with America experiencing these heightened tensions, American teenagers were able to be more carefree, in a large part due to the draft being over, and worry about “teenage” problems. The Breakfast Club was able to capture this newfound freedom among teenagers as well as the feelings of anxiety, fear, and drama that came with high school. The film showed that one’s parents don’t determine your life, that breaking out of a label is possible, and that the emotions and issues that take place during this period of life aren’t any less important than the ones you face later on. The Breakfast Club by John Hughes was so impactful on 1980’s American culture because it gave hope for social class mobility, fought against the conservative politics of the era, and was one of the first movies to be shot from an accurate teenage perspective.
