So Clueless...?

For my film critique, I've decided to analyze the file Clueless. The film premired in the early 90's and was an intstant hit. The movie stars Alicia Silverstone and Stacy Dash. Their characters, Cher and Dee, are young rich and live in the "sunset" of Southern California. The film is a comedy that pokes fun at the lives of privliged teenagers while sending a message to help others. In the film, main character Cher goes through many battles: getting her license, finding love, getting "dissed" and she deals with no longer being the most popular girl in school. The creators used many aspects of Pentad in this film, so that is what I chose to use in this blog.
In the film, Cher acts as the agent. The film is presented through her narrating and revolves around her. The scene of the film is in the upper southside of California. The act is Cher overcoming her battles while helping others to find herself. The agency is the satisfaction Cher gains when she helps others with her resourses. And the purpose is so Cher can find herself and be accomplished.

Cher is a very privledged 16 year old who has a routined life. When things begin to go a bit wrong for her and she gets a C in one of her courses, she begins to take charge. Her recieving a C in her debate class gave her the idea to give the debate teacher a pick me up so he will give better grades. This leds to her interfering in everyones love life, and making over the new girl on campus. This also leds her to find love for herself.

The film portrays the California teens in a very upscale light. They all drive new top of the line vehicles and where expensive labels which is suppose to give viewers a glimps as to how California really is. When a new student from New York moves to town, she shakes things up with her not so designer clothes and wild hair. Cher and Dee decide to make her over and make her into one of them. The film also has Chers love intrest as a homosexual. The guy she ends up chasing is gay and the guy she end uo with is the one she always ignored and annoyed her. The film sends several different messages to people of all ages.

The content of the film is based on the idea that a young Califorina girl just want to be happy; and money cant buy that happiness. The relationships she builds throughout the movie are far more valuble than money, cars or designer labels.
