What’s better than one controversy? More controversies. And of course, the public eats it up, leaving viewers to let out an audible gasp. Like all powerful white males, they tend to have their minions clean up their controversies for them. Sure, there could always be an instance where the antagonist rues the day and truth will prevail, right? Not exactly. Because in the real world, they call themselves “the nice guys” and then get away from their wrongdoings scot-free. This film, however, draws a symbol of the antagonist and how their cronies barricade him from getting any bad reputation. We grew up in a society where women were pitted against each other to get the guy or whatever goal meant to be achieved by one woman only. And credit goes to them especially when they don’t deserve it. Their acts of kindness are usually forced because they’re linked with the problem. Often a narcissist, a powerful white male’s selflessness is deemed a personality trait that needs to be rewarded.
Often highlighting the struggles of women, she taps into the anatomy of a powerful white male (and the problems that come along with it). She made a big hit in 2019 with Someone Great, co-writing Thor: Love and Thunder, and now Do Revenge. You’ll know it’s made by Jennifer Kaitlyn Robinson when she makes a feminist impact that people are not ready for. If you’re pissed at the two-faced Max just as much as the main characters do, then you’re aware that this is a real problem some women are facing.Įxposés may be fun and daring, but this film reminds us of the consequences and karma if we were to indulge in such a thing IRL. In the film, Drea (played by Camila Mendes) is a popular High Schooler who went downhill because her ex-boyfriend, Max (played by Austin Abrams) leaked her nudes. But there’s one thing most old chick flicks leave out: boys can spill the tea too.
Chick flick movies on netflix full#
Talk about a full circle!Ī chick-flick is not a chick-flick without the good ol’ gossip– it’s the thing that the protagonist gets in trouble for. To top it all off, Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) rejoins the Chick-flick scene by becoming the school’s headmaster. Robinson understood the impact of nostalgic flicks, so much so that she incorporated the vintage aesthetic and references from the likes of 10 Things I Hate About You’s paintball fight, Jawbreaker’s nerdy makeover, and Mean Girls’ pink chaos into Do Revenge. With it, gives you different High School cliques, mean girls, and opposites attract teenage love. It follows a high school socialite and an outcast avenging each other against their arch enemies in a rose-colored private school. Enter Do Revenge: a new Netflix film starring Riverdale’s Camila Mendes and Stranger Things’ Maya Hawke. However, there are obviously a lot of outdated beliefs and remarks. Teenage movies were enjoyable in the 2000s.
However, director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson took this as a challenge and made a *shocking* film that tackles patriarchy (to the ground) in the new generation of teenagers.
Chick-flicks in the modern age are often a hit-and-miss compared to Mean Girls, Bring It On, and The Princess Diaries. Put this idiom in a cotton candy formula, and you get Do Revenge.
