It is said that the movie ‘Heathers’ is reflecting the uncontrolled youths of the time. The movie itself was quite a shock to me when I watched it, but I think it is reflecting the uncontrolled wild personalities of the generation. It is kind of a movie for generation X which is a generation born after the WW2 and nobody really knew their path. It is described that generation X as ‘sleep together before they are married, were not taught to believe in God as 'much', dislike the Queen, and don't respect parents’ which is the situation of the characters in the movie. The main character Veronica, consistently calls her dad an idiot which shows that she doesn’t have respect for her parents. Also much of those socially not adjusted people; high-schoolers are depicted in the movie. Also it is said that this film changed the type of character girls are depicted in the movies as more dimensional character rather than boring old same concept. I think the media sets up the criteria for the people to follow. For instance, if they want to be popular girls should be pretty, and mean. Also it depicts the reality of the people living daily lives in a way sometimes that is shown but sometimes it is hidden and one cannot find it easily.
this is a solid summary of the articles found in the post, but what does the film have to show us about the role of media?
