I’m back!! So in my last post, I promised you guys more information about the genre Carlos and I decided to pick which of course was romantic teenage comedies (Rom-Coms), but of course, you guys already knew that since you read my last post right????
Before we dive into these case studies, I wanna go over some of the main characters that the audience, might come across while viewing these types of films. So to start with the more positive characters or in better words, the popular ones, we call them Jocks and cheerleader, while on the other side, we have the outcasts which are the Nerds and Loners. SPOILER ALERT!!!! In some cases, these films try to give a message to the audience which is that it doesn't matter which social group you are in because at the end everyone is the same which is why these films usually end with the Nerd dating the Jock or the Loner dating the Cheerleader.
- To All the Boys I've Loved Before
So basically, this film is about a girl named Lara Jean who I guess you can say is a loner. Lara Jean keeps her love letters in a box, one for every boy she's ever loved-- five in all. The Story takes a plot twist as her letters get mailed to all the boys the letters were for and Lara Jeans life changes. Don’t worry, it's not all that bad because she ends up making a deal with the most popular guy in school and of course a jock named Peter Kavinsky. The deal is basically that they had to pretend to be dating so that people who got the letters thought it was a joke and so that Peter’s popular girlfriend would get jealous. Little did both of them know that they were not pretending anymore, but more clearly were falling in love.
This is the trailer for those interested:
2. The Kissing Booth
Onto the next one film which is The Kissing Booth. So in this film, there is a nerd/loner named Elle Evans, who has only one friend named Lee Flynn. Elle is lowkey in love with Lee’s older brother named Noah, but Elle knew it was wrong since it violated her and Lee’s friendship pact. Later on, throughout the movie, Elle and Lee decide to run a kissing booth at her high school's Spring Carnival, when she finds herself unexpectedly kissing the popular jock and of course her big-time crush Noah. Elle's life completely changed as she must decide whether to follow the rules and be with Noah or follow her heart and ruin her friendship with Lee.
Here's the trailer for those interested!
