I was surprised that someone made such a dark high school movie in 1989 (the original ending was darker and was denied by the producer), and I still feel that no youth movie has a ridiculous and terrifying plot like it. There are connotations that are worth thinking about. At the same time, the depiction of the young people's mentality is extremely accurate. It is not as warm and affectionate as THE BREAKFAST CLUB, but it is just as direct. At first, it was the usual routine of Bully in ordinary high school, but slowly got out of control to a terrifying murder. For Veronica, JD changed from a rebellious prince to a terrible lunatic. Every time JD kills, he pretends to be suicide and has never been dismantled. Those funeral scenes make people wonder whether they should laugh or be sad (these few paragraphs deliberately exaggerate a strong black humor, but there is a sense of despair) . It used to be weird why the Miren REMAKE movie, I realized after watching it, even in today’s eyes, it is still an extreme and cruel movie. Wanting to REMAKE it requires courage and talent, not simple. Haolaiwu assembly line can be done.

The movie was filmed in 1989, so most of the people in the dress and makeup are rustic and sweaty, especially the girls’ thick shoulder pads and blood-red lips... But Christian Slater is really handsome in it, standing there. , His rebellious temperament is ready to come out, and JD's crazy and abnormal character has a lot of room for him to play, so it is natural that he is the most dazzling person in the whole movie. For MM, he belongs to the kind of man who knows the danger but can't help being attracted to him. It fits some MM's romantic fantasy (for example, when depressed, an SG comes in through your window...) of course. Head, it’s not so romantic~~ But no matter what, JD’s unreasonable madness and anti-socialism are his charms~~ The endings of such people in and out of the play are generally the same. , Died in a way exactly like his own character.

    It feels a little bit suddenly seven days, others are reflecting on campus bullying and life, and we are on the hot search. I actually like JD quite a bit, it's just that he doesn't look very smart when he talks, it's strange, he still looks good, not to mention his character (this sentence is added every time), Winona's acting skills and The face value is really good, completely different from Stranger Things and Aquaman, each of which is very real and will not play.

    The overall production is not exquisite, I don't know if it was intentional, especially the film's cutscenes are far-fetched and clumsy, but what I want to express in this film just forms a boost, and there is a feeling that highlights the high-rise of life of fragility. Veronica's parents scenes are also interesting. They are a symbol in the middle, talking about Sid's death and watching TV at home. These two dialogue scenes are directly given as positive medium and close-up shots, with little relationship. It's also very interesting to shoot. Several appearances of the male protagonist, such as riding a motorcycle and the backlit mid shot in the woods, because of the same shot, reminded me of Batman, who was a similar role later. However, the performances of all the members are relatively poor, especially the male lead is slightly deliberate.

Heathers quotes

  • J.D.: Is your life perfect?

    Veronica Sawyer: I'm on my way to a party at Remington University... No, my life's not perfect. I don't really like my friends.

    J.D.: I... I don't really like your friends either.

    Veronica Sawyer: Well, it's just like - they're people I work with, and our job is being popular and shit.

    J.D.: Maybe it's time to take a vacation.

  • Veronica Sawyer: My parents wanted to move me into high school out of the sixth grade, but we decided to chuck the idea because I'd have trouble making friends, blah, blah, blah. Now blah, blah, blah is all I ever do. I use my grand IQ to decide what color lip gloss to wear in the morning and how to hit three keggers before curfew...
