For anyone wanting to study eighties teen films (like me), John Hughes is a crucial point of focus! Since the genre is widely American in origin, I found the American appropriation of particular teen films note worthy - you might not!
This article is broadly in response to Hughes "Pretty In Pink" (1985) but does delve into Hughes role as founder of the eighties teen flick tradition. |
| Synopsis |
Duncan tears the film, and the Genre to pieces finding it to be superficial and un-realistic.
She establishes Hughes as a master in 'double talk': relating to teens from an adult perspective which she believes leads to in-accurate portreyal of adolescent existences.
For Duncan "Pretty In Pink" is 'another' teenpic cliche.' |
