HIGH SCHOOL CLICHES IN MOVIES; how unrealistic!
I was watching a movie with my little sister the other day called “Bratz.” DESCRIBE MOVIE.
This movie got me thinking, high school isn't really like that. I went to James Logan High School in Union City. First, there were too many students to have the popular football team and cheerleader group we see in movies. We did have the occasional over achievers and some popular kids, but my high school was nothing like the schools depicted in movies like Mean Girls, Clueless, Mean Girls 2, Fast Times at Richmond High, Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club, Love Don't Cost a Thing and the upcoming new movie like Disney's PROM. In these movies, DESCRIBE CLICHES. But in reality, school doesn't function that way. For example, in Mean Girls a new girl comes to town she meets two kids who are nice to her then she falls into the "clique," of the Mean Girls who call themselves the Plastics. The leader of the Plastics takes the new girl under her wings and makes her into one of them. Shortly after the new girl falls in love with the Plastic's leader's ex boyfriend. Well you get the picture, same with all these movies. Now in Disney's PROM based on the trailer I've seen, my senior prom was quite lame, because the limo was late and we got there with two hours to spare, in Disney's version they hype it up with the prom king and queen dancing to the slow song, come on! In reality everyone joins in! And what's up with the nerdy girl falling for a jock and the popular girl not getting the right guy? That's not real life! After high school most of us go to college and try to start anew and not think about the high school "drama," of breaking up and going out. Most high school relationships don't last and many like to find their significant others in college. Anyway, to wrap it up and not drone on, high school cliches work for movies but the story line gets old unless you add murder, scandal, and maybe something exciting, PROM may be worth watching.
First of all Disney has a unrealic view of life. Everything about Disney is to enchant you. Hollywood has run out of ideas because their are making remakes of everything movie, that Hollywood has already done. And the same is with Disney. Alot of families have not had the Disney experince, so they want to make you think that this is the place to have that childhood experince.However If you miss the Disney fun then you as a child has missed out on something, that every child should be a part of. That where the parents come in to balance the bright lites and wonder for the Disney experince.Disney is for small childern. It brainwash the childern about a world that do not exist.It is all a fancy world that is not real.
