Heathers (1988)

Rate: 2
Viewed: 7/05

7/05: Oh, please.

Heathers is a sick movie with a twisted, perverted perspective on life. For example, look at what happened at Columbine. That type of thing isn't funny. It's just high school: a phase that everybody goes through before moving on with his or her life. Those who take it seriously are doomed to live in their high school world forever and will never get over the trivial incidents.

There's no reason to embrace the needs of teenagers because high school provides one and only one thing which is the most important in life: a window of opportunity to set themselves up for the future. Those who fail to take advantage of it are subject to a dead-end life that's filled with never-ending complaints, health issues, and financial problems.

All in all, Heathers isn't a true black comedy as people have claimed it to be but rather a vehicle for the selected group of sick people who can't accept the reality of how society works.
