I'm a Loser, Baby!
|
I like Amy Heckerling's approach a lot. The story line in her movies really doesn't matter much, it's the characters she builds that make her movies worthwhile and deserving of repeated viewings.
I just saw this flick again a few days ago (for about the 3rd time over the years) and I noticed things about the main and supporting characters I had not seen previously. The roommates are some of the greatest parodies on college ne'er-do-wells I've ever seen. And Professor Alcott is more deliciously evil the more you watch this movie.
I went to college a long time ago, but there are elements of the bad characters that do exist I remember, thankfully not so concentrated around one poor guy, but hey movies need to compress things.
The spoiled, self-centered, immoral, rationalizing roomies are hilarious and allow me to laugh even now about some of the stupid attitudes & affectations the "in crowd" had when I was in school. Their desperate clinging to the latest "cool" thing is very well done... look carefully at how glammed out these idiots are and think of how much time and effort some people spend trying to be hip and it just ends up making them look like complete a-holes to pretty much everyone including the people they are trying to impress.
So anyway, don't watch Amy Heckerling's movies for story or plot. Watch for the memorable characters (Spicoli, Cher, Professor Alcott, etc) and try not to act like them in real life or at least use them for comic relief when you encounter some their traits in others. |
