Not Another Teen Movie

Amy Heckerling is a “drama and teen film” involving the students in Ridgemont High coming of age. This film shows many different people’s views of their life in high school and how they have had many challenges to face and how these students were able to come over them. It is hard to say who is the protagonist is this film because there are so many to pick from. I would say the top two protagonists in the film are Stacey Hamilton and Jeff Spicoli.

scene I wrote about in the above paragraph. Sam is continuing to ride in the car with the older teens. The older teens begin to throw trash cans and bash mailboxes.

The movie also showed me it's better, to tell the truth instead not showing who you are as a person online and it's better, to tell the truth to the people that are around you. Like I said,…

thing. The movie Mean girls total earnings from movie tickets was $130,953,026. This movie was meant to be one of Hollywood’s precautions against bullying, by shedding light on how damaging female social cliques can be in high school.

the first LGBT+ gay teen film to be produced by 20th Century FOX, a major film studio. I have chosen to analyze two separate genres for this topic.

An author’s purpose when writing movie interviews is…
