For this blog I have used this scene as it shows that even though to the
outside world they may portray as perfect to themselves they will always see
flaws and always believe that their not good enough. In this scene it shows all
three of the girls and them standing in front of a mirror explaining to one
another the flaws they hate, to Cady as she stands in the distance she never
knew life was like this and that the “girls world” was so cruel and they would
never accept their image and their looks. You hear comments such as “ my
hips are huge”, “I hate my calves” “I have man
shoulders”, “my hair lines is so werid”, “my pores are huge” and little things
such as “my nail beds suck” .
Everyone is stereotyped however the media are
making it harder for girls to never accept their looks when they see
woman/models being photo shopped to have slimmer body, and air brushed to show
no freckles, no pores, everything that a girl will go through once in her life,
it’s the development to become a woman. In the scene you notice that the girls
are all wearing tight clothing and they are making sure that there ‘huge hips’,
‘man shoulders’ are all on display and why is this? Because what the woman wear
is what the men are attracted to, For Regina she has airbrushed face and is
covered in makeup and this is harder for the views eg the students also to pull
out the pores she may have, Girls are never going to look at themselves as
being normal, being a powerful young lady
and not needing to have the make up and fitness sessions going for them
morning and night 24/7 girls will never understand that not being the skinniest
and the it physically showing is perfectly okay.
As a viewer watching this film
and certainly this scene you seem to doubt yourself and look at yourself and
think about the flaws for example In my case I was born with freckles and they
developed more and more over time and I wished that I never had them however it
is genetics and I know im not the only girl that has to go through the stages
of life and the disappointment of the way you appear in the mirror, the more
make up I use and appeal the more fake I appear to others and deep down to
myself, as a teenage girl we always can find something wrong and something that
to us we will never be able to fix or change to us as teenage girls we found
this a normal everyday routine,
however to a parent this is shocking they believe in their own world we are
accept able and that we don’t want to change at all. Parents’ watching this
full movie will understand how a teenager girls mind works and the saying of
“girl world” why is this that parents are worried and concerned for their
daughters? Because health issues can occur in fast rates and can be mentally
damage to a girl of a young age, they want the best for their daughters that
are all. If a mother was forced to stand in that room and her put downs they
were making about themselves she would be very concerned and uncomfortable and
possible blame herself because of genetics. What would happen if the directors all followed this stereotype and made
many movies classing these stereotypes and not giving us a balance in movie
choices? Teenage girls would be a high concern in and if we think we are shallow or uptight now it would only
get worst.
Looking at the features that could occur in
this scene that may show the representation of teenage girls
·
Dialogue : the way people
discuss and the way they talk to another character in this scene you notice the
girls are putting themselves down and turning to Cady to see what she believes
is wrong with her, Cady is unsure what to say so she pops out that she has bad
breath in the morning and to these girls that is not a physical flaw so to them
they are now disgusted, the way they are acting as a friend group is quite
close to reality and is shown in now times girls which are open with what they
see as a horrible feature and what they wish they could change.
·
Costumes I described at the top
but costumes In this scene are shown to be tight and in Regina, Karin, Gretch
clothing. However I understand that to these girls that it is the day they are
meant to wear pink “a girl rule” but to them they may feel the tightest
clothing they wear the more acceptance they are going get and the way the
men/teenage boys are going to be attracted to them.
· Camera angles, you notice a
certain angle where Regina George
is facing the mirror and the camera is looking back at her when she says “my
pores are huge” however when you look directly at her there is no flaws in
sight she is prefect and has clear skin however she does have make up on ( a
mask) that covers up the real problem.
·
Lighting: is quite bight and
making all aspects quite noticeable.
Mean girls is a movie that shows girls
that have no respect in the way they respect themselves and others, a movie
that stereotypes are highly shown throughout.
A insight to real life teenagers
girls and why media has affected our life’s in making us think that we are not worth
able for any teenage boy and that you have to be cake faced, tall, tanned,
blonde and skin body figure. Life is cruel.
