why do you hate fun anon?
>>64270638
I just think it's ideologies are really twisted and harmful and it paved the way for endlessly stupid propaganda teenager movies like The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.
>>64270638
Also I don't hate fun, fun hates me.
>>64270648
the perks of being a wallflower was a really good movie though.
>>64270648
even if that's true, so what?

It portrays its idealism as something common, the norm, that the way its characters act, act that way because they should and that's what their real-life stereotypes do in the high school setting. Like, the popular virgin falling for the thug, something common, but they portray the thug as someone misunderstood, someone with a moral compass like it's common which is not common. They portray the outcast and the nerd as people who are rejected but still interacted with in a friendly way which is absolute bullshit, the outcast and the nerd types in the real-life setting are shunned and bullied. They use this ideology as "this is the norm, this is how everyone should act" but it's just how they wish everyone would act but it's presented to people, the target audience, kids as "this is how people act in school". It's manipulative and gross.

What? No it doesn't. Literally towards the end of the movie they all admit that they won't be friends or talk to each other when school starts. It's an incredibly important scene where the characters all admit that everything will go back to normal in spite of what they all experienced with each other that day. Couple that with the speech at the end about labels not meaning anything, and you have the perfect message; that *they* now realize labels mean nothing but their peers aren't up to that speed yet so in reality nothing will chance as far as how they interact with each other. It's a very mature movie. It's not idyllic at all like you seem to think it is. It prompts the viewer (ideally a young teenager) to look past and rise above cliques and labels, but acknowledges that high school will never be like that.
Brian and Alison both say they'd be friends with the others, but that's what would happen in real life; the nerds and the outcasts would have no problems with a popular kid being nice to them, but the opposite isn't true. Claire is very up front about the fact that she wouldn't be friends with anyone, and Andy claims that he wouldn't do that, but it's clear by the expression on his face and the fact that he never really argues with Claire that he would. Bender just flips his shit at Claire and basically tells her that he would never be seen with her.
And Claire isn't saying that to be mean; she's shown to be nice, especially to Alison. But she knows she wouldn't be seen being nice to them at school.
I'll give you props for not being salty about how Claire gives Alison a makeover to win over Andy though. That's the stupidest fucking complaint this movie gets.
Breakfast Club was a good movie. The Strokes are a good band.
