the best hi-school drama!

Rating: 9/10 (13 May 2006)

I heard about this movie from a friend and saw on cable about a year ago. i think it is one of the best hi-school movies done ever, if not, the best. It represents teenage life very well from different points of view. but this is not the best thing about this movie, what i liked most about this film is that it criticizes each of the five characters. the jock and the princess are criticized for their completely unauthentic behavior, they can't think for themselves, everything they do is because someone tells them to do it or because of peer pressure. then the brainy one is told that his whole life should not be the grades at school and that he shouldn't be obsessed with them. the basket case is told that she shouldn't shut herself out of the world and socialize a little more, and finally the criminal is told that he can't rebel against everything CZ he'll just "lose" of he does. i think a combination of these five types of people makes out an almost perfect person, but this movie does not tell us to be perfect, it tells us to be who we really are, to be ourselves no matter what defects we have. IT is a fantastic movie and it has great moral for every teenager around the world.
