"Is our vocabulary so poor? We need French to express our views?" The reason why we use French to quote the lines in the movie is because the use of French cannot avoid class and taste.
The taste of citizens is bourgeois, and gossip girls are nouveau riche. Who could have expected that the same description of Manhattan’s preppy has changed so much in more than a decade. The general public has been discussing the loneliness of the class. To a certain extent, as these children said, it is easy to move down. Think about the class represented by gossip girls. It depends on fashion (mainly brand) and conspicuous consumption. Indeed, the class is down. Moved.
The whole movie is mainly dialogue and simple scene alternation, is it consistent with Jane Austen's novel? The heroine Audrey also has the personality and value of the characters in Austin's novels. Bourgeois' tastes, such as literary discussion and philosophical thinking, are slowly being replaced by a haute bourgeoisie. As the American middle class shrinks, this class is also being diluted. If this movie is shot today, 30 years later, no one seems to believe it. Gossip girls need quick sex and the satisfaction of money, but if you are alone, you can talk to him about philosophy and literature and you will find that you are slowly falling in love. He would be said to be the obscenity of intellectuals. So I still prefer this movie. To borrow from the movie, "Austin's value will be laughed at now." "Austin would laugh at our current value back then."
Think about the rush of college time, are there still people thinking about society and philosophy with you?
