Most of people's social learning path starts on campus. Starting from the kindergarten, all the jewels in the palms of the family and the proud children of heaven gradually understood that this is a world full of others. Even if they are young, in this immature group, many young children have already demonstrated their innate ability to get along with each other. It is common to bully the young or bully the good and fear the evil. How to bully others and protect themselves is a common behavior. The social homework that everyone must learn since childhood.
But if a person has never been to school and gets along with Tongji, will it make people feel more difficult to fight against social problems? Katie is such a girl. Because of her parents working in Africa for a long time, she accepted Home School since she was a child and did not return to the United States to enter high school until she was sixteen. During Katie's growth, African animals were his most frequent objects, and he was impressed by the rules of survival among animals in the jungle. I thought that I got rid of the cruel jungle when I went to American high school, but I didn't expect that the girl world in the school actually hides crises and traps.
Had it not been for meeting Damian and Janice, Katie's school life would have been miserable on the first day of her life. Damian and Janice’s first help for Katie was to take Katie away from the horrible and misconceptional health education class. Damian and Janice looked at Katie who was beautiful and well-built, and thought that she would not have difficulty integrating into the community. Then, Damian and Janice began to introduce Katie to the school’s "the plastics" (the plastics). This is a small circle composed of three charming girls. Not only do they have good figures, but they also keep up with the fashion. Their family background and wealth are even more enviable. They are the three that many female students yearn for but cannot enter. People group.
The title of The Plastics is very interesting. Although the origin of The Plastics is not explained in the movie, we can speculate from the original meaning of "plastic". Plastic has the meaning of man-made. For example, plastic surgery is called plastic surgery. When Damian and Janice used the plastics to refer to the trio of beautiful women, it literally conveyed a rather negative meaning. The charming girls are very close in size, life experience, and thoughts. They look like they are carved from the same mold. In addition, the goals they pursue are very superficial (appearance, handsome boyfriend, the admiration of everyone), just like Barbie dolls. Similarly, although the exterior is bright and beautiful, the interior is still empty and impoverished like plastic. The eldest sister who took the lead in "Plastic Plastic Man" is mostly Regina, who has a pungent and selfish personality and loves to be arrogant. Most of her classmates have been bullied by Regina. Regina has a "" () in private . The inside pages are covered with portrait photos cut from the souvenir book, and besides the photos are written unsightly bad things. Teachers and students are inevitable.
When Damian and Janice were asked to face each other, Katie was very careful when she went to the school cafeteria at noon, because the students at each table represented their own small groups, and some were both popular and disgusting. Surprisingly, Katie attracted the eyes of Regina and the other three, and was invited to successfully join the "Plastic Plastic Man". Damian and Janice, who have always hated the trio of petite girls, saw this as a good opportunity for revenge. They asked Katie to join Regina and act as a rape in the "plastic plastic man". After gaining their trust, they provoke discord and evil. Regina, the ultimate goal is to bring the trio down. This evil act made Katie a double-faced person, whoto please Regina but hatedheart (). But the strange thing is that she suddenly became a member of the most popular group in the school. Seeing the enviable eyes of other students and her increasing popularity, Katie actually enjoyed the feeling very much. She also began to put on makeup, play tricks, and even In the "Spicy Book", there was a false accusation that the math teacher sold drugs (Katie thinks the math teacher deliberately failed her). With this change, Damian and Janice gradually began to hate Katie.
The entanglement between Katie and the trio came to the culmination when the content of "Spicy Books" was deliberately made public by Regina. The whole school caused waves. The students scolded and fought each other angrily, and the school immediately became the incarnation of Katie. African jungle. Katie was hated by Regina at this time, and she lost her friends Damian and Janice. On both sides of her, she was not human and lonely. She never thought that the rules of survival in the girl world were far more difficult than imagined. As everyone hoped, the movie still gave the audience a perfect ending. But all the complicated tricks in "Mean Girl" and the success of high school life resonated with Americans. Even when screenwriter Tina Fei was interviewed, he thought that American adults would find this film interesting, while high school students would find it very similar. Watching a reality show. Maybe not everyone has to grow up to be as tragic as Katie, but the intrigue competition with the same economy is an inescapable challenge in a lifetime.
