Best friends, social trends and occasional murder.
Heathers is still perfectly relevant to
today’s young audience and still a guilty pleasure for the audiences whom first
received it. This delicious black comedy is a brutal take on the emerging teen movie
genre that began to appear in the 1980’s. Our primary character is Veronica
Sawyer (Winona Ryder) is in student in a cliquey Ohio school, who after meeting
and falling for the sociopath J.D. (Christian Slater) goes on a murderous rampage though the
school, beginning with the Heather’s the three most popular girls in school. In
many way’s Tina Fey’s Mean Girls echo’s many of the themes from Heather’s
though there’s no murder in Mean Girls. The subject matter becomes even more
prominent now more than ever since the numerous amount of high school tragedies
such as Columbine. These thoughts leads me to think that this picture may be
social relevant for a long time to come.
