Teen genre

These three movie relate to each other on a high level of representing how the life of being a teenager is hard on many levels, un on some levels, and emotional on other levels. The movies that are most relative to life are Rebel Without A Cause, The Breakfast Club, and Perks Of Being A Wallflower. The  teens in these movies give a great showing of teen life, like how it is living at home, dealing with parents, dealing with school, and trying to connect with others.It isn't easy being  teenager trying to connect with others. Being a teen suck and every day it get's harder and easier at the same time and no one know's if it ever get better.

In Rebel With Out A Cause were shown a teenager with family problems, his dad isn't great at being a man and a father. The teenager gets in trouble time and time again and his family always move to run away from it and the teen say's it's his dad falt. There's also another teen in the movie that suffer from parent issue's and keep's lashing out for love and attention from her two parents. In this movie it's giving of a high sign that parents need to give their teenage child more attention or they'll do bad thing's. Parent's in many ways just don't understand teenagers and don't know how to deal with them, and don't know how to connect with them.

In The Breakfast Club were have five teens that have issue's of their own that they don't know how to deal with. In the movie it's self they say what they are a brain, a athlete, a princess, a criminal, and a basket case. All of them tell each other of their parents being over controlling and demanding of what they want them to be. Each of them seem to hate their parents for making them the way they are in the movie. Each character over the course of the movie become better aware characters and teach of them see that they have to be what their parents want but be what ever it is you want to be.

In Perks Of Being A Wallflower which is personally my favorite teen movie of the three because I relate most to the character, suffers from the emotional trama of his aunt doing ilegal things to him. He trie's to push back deeper in his mind what happened to him but it keep coming back. He makes his life better by becoming friends with a group of kids that are extreme in their own way. Over the length of the movie he becomes a better character, and over the course of the movie he help his friends become better and they help him. This movie show's that it's not always the parents with the problems but the teenager them selve is the one that need's help and doesn't know how to deal with it.

Disney discussion

The topic today is on disney movies and the symbolism and message that movies are maybe  trying to send little kids. There are many disney movies that hold allot of messages, but i'm only focusing on a few of their movies. One movie is called The Little Mermaid, another is Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs. When looked at closely anyone can see the very grown up every day things some men and women go through.

The first thing i'm going to talk about is the fact that in disney movie they expose little kids to very grown up problems that for som e happen in their every day life. In little mermaid is this important rich in authority girl daughter of king triton. She complains about not being happy, about her wanting more than what she already have. the villan of the movie of the movie make a deal with ariel ti  make her human and say's things like men don't want a women that can talk and they like women that can cook. This is pretty much saying that women don't have a say in anything, that just appost to clean and do everything men say.

In Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs the message in this movie is saying that women are lost with out men to protect them, and guid them. In the movie Snow White is this helpless girl that's so sweet and innocent in a world of wrong doings, and she dosen't understand the danger around her. We she got in trouble or did something she should't of done the dwarfs were there to help her. Even in the ending when she'sa put under a spell and stuck in an endless sleep a man is the one that had to help her wake. In this movie men are figurer's that control women's fate and it's showing that women need constant protection.

All these movies show that in disney princess movies they have some kind of way to show a representation of the real world and real life problems. In the movies they show the problems of love, marriage, and different levels of wealth. Disney movies have been doing this for years and years and their trying to expose younger viewers to adult problems early in life. What disney is doing is a bad thing because some viewers might take it the wrong way and create something else out of it. But it's also a god idea because then viewers can have a better understanding now so they can be better to deal with it in the future.
