20 years later, and still a fantastic movie

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2008)

A movie that created awareness and controversy, yet still a beautiful adaptation of life for teens in the 80's, and even nowadays. The characters, although stereotypical and strict in their format, display all different aspects and characters that some may remember back in High School.
Disregarding that each character is a stereotype, the movie is entirely realistic and is an eye-opening look at the emotions and impact that a social life or a cruel family life has on each student.
Another "fun" aspect of this film is that everyone can relate to it. It is amusing to "pick out which character you were", and to compare these characters to people you know.
A beautiful movie that is also very funny and at certain points, very dramatic and meaningful.
10/10
