clueless

Its been a while since i saw the entire movie of clueless, and its been a while since the movie was presented, but i think that the movie is an absolutely rediculous representation of pop culture in america. The typical blond spoiled barbie cher who leads her pack of fake girls around the school and runs people into their stereotypical cliques is a horribly overdramatized image in todays society. Recently, with movies like Mean Girls and others this idea has just been totally played out. The parts of clueless that i thought were funny were the parts where cher is learning to drive, and taking her road test. she is more worried about how cute she looks in the car rather than if she almost kills someone in the process of the road test. Another part i like is when they are making over the dorky girl to be a part of their little group. My favorite part is when they are in the car though and they sing Rolling with the Homies. I cant think of much else and i dont actually own the movie so i cant watch it but i will add some things to this blog if i can get a hold of a copy from someone in the next day or two.

I'm not sure if it is a 'horribly over-dramatized image in today's society'. Girls like this exist. I'm actually waiting for someone to make a film about these pop tarts (Lindsay, Paris, Britney, Nicole, cast of the Hills). There will always be films made about teen cliques. From Rebel Without a Cause to the Breakfast Club, teenagers have it rough. I haven't seen Mean Girls, but I do like Tina Fey, who wrote the screenplay.

I'd like for you to watch the film and support your argument against it. Right now, you don't have enough. But I'm glad you are ready to attack it.
