American Teen is the film we saw in class before Christmas which personally I like it.
This film talks about who the high school is in America in a kind of documentary which gives us the opportunity of comparing the high school here and the one in America. For example, the school here much smaller than there so in conclusion is more people there than here. Another difference is that there people are clasificated in different groups, some of them are in the cool group, other ones in the basketball players group and some of them in the geeks or awkward group. This last difference is not so obvious here and I think this is better. These groups are very well seen in the film, the girl that is a bit awkward fall in love with a cool guy and the go to a kind of party of cool people and this girl doesn´t feel comfortable, finally they broke up. Most of the students go to the school by car this wouldn´t be possible here.
The part of the film I most like it is the one were the house of a person is wrapped with toilet paper and the car painted. This is very men but to the people who are seeing it is very funny.
Finally I would like to say that I like the film for to mainly reasons, that it is funny the scene were the car is painted... and because the differences between them and us are very well seen.
Iñigo,
ResponderEliminarYou're right - often times the students in American high schools are segregated into many different groups of people (nerds, jocks, rebels, etc.).
And I don't know why, but it's also quite common to mess with your friend's cars. Once I helped wrap a car in cellophane (plastic wrap for food). And once my car was painted too! Luckily, it was washable paint.
