This blog will be all about film reviews. I'm going to be watching a lot of movies, writing reviews, and hopefully not spoiling any movies you plan to watch.
Director: Mark Waters
Mean Girls is every high schooler’s movie, something every teen can relate too. It details a young girl who is going to school for the first time as a freshman in high school. Her journey through her first year of school is far from smooth sailing, leading to a total breakdown of the school. Cady Heron has been home schooled for the past few years, having been living in Africa. When her and her parents moved back to America, they enrolled her in a high school. Upon arrival, she describes it as a jungle and soon finds herself in a friend group with two social outcasts. They guide her but soon she is in a group of hyper popular girls known as the “plastics”. Janis, one of the outcasts, decides to use Cady to ruin the life of the lead Plastic, Regina George. Over the school year, Cady and Janis plot against Regina and slowly ruin her life. Finally Regina discovers what Cady is doing and plots her revenge. She takes a book full of rude comments about spreads them all over the school, causing the girls to attack each other. They all make up and rally against Regina, who gets hit by a bus but survives. The school’s hierarchy is destroyed and everyone becomes friends again. Mean Girls relates to almost any teenager who has seen it. Everyone has been through high school and has had to go through similar problems. This movie is able to relate on a very deep level with those watching and shows them the better way. It is almost like a dystopian to utopian film where the beginning shows a discontent yet stable life but after a massive shake up, life is restored to a better, more equal life. It was like a light shining the way that things should be. However, it is dangerous because the means are quite extreme and very unpleasant. A lot of lives could have been ruined had things literally not gone according to the script. While the way things magically all work out for the better, it would likely not be so in the real world.
