DVD Reviews of She's Too Young
DVD Review: The Middle of Adolescenes
Summary: 4 Stars
(CAUTION for spoilers!) In the movie She's Too Young, the dominant contrast corresponds to its intrinsic interest because it symbolizes the popularity that Hannah Vogul wants to become and because it symbolizes the subject about Dawn catching a disease. On the other hand, the subject of getting in with the crowd means that Hannah, Becca, and Dawn has to put out the rest of their world.
Being a high school student that I am, I am taking Film as/and Literature. For my Monthly Movie Review of November, I watched a Lifetime movie called She's Too Young. Although this was my second time watching the movie, the first time I've watched it was on the Lifetime channel early this year.
Adolescence is a time when teenagers go through mistakes without realizing it. In She's Too Young, the dominant contrast is about three girls living two separate lives, one at home and one outside the home. Within those closed doors though, lies a world of its own game. This leads to the intrinsic interest of the movie. The three fourteen year old girls, Hannah Vogul, Becca White, and Dawn Gensler, are pressured to have sex in order to become one of the popular girls in school. This subject results to blocking their own parents out of their teenage life.
Dominant contrast is an area of an image that immediately attracts you attention. In the movie, it starts off by showing a little girl in a blue baiting suit playing in the light brown sands. Your eyes goes instantly to the blue suit, which symbolizes the innocence of childhood. The next scene shows Hannah Vogul putting on makeup and getting dressed for an evening with some friends. The lipstick and the bright clothing attract your eyes immediately, which is a symbol that the childhood of innocence is about to become a dilemma. Furthermore, in the scene where Hannah is playing her viola in the center of her room, instantly your eyes are drawn to the instrument. This captures the intelligent, innocent, talented, and the virgin Hannah. Another example of dominant contrast is after dates with the most popular guy in school, Nick Hartman, Hannah loose something very precious to her in order to become known. "I had a fantasy." Hannah types this to Becca on her I.M. messaging and the camera is focused on her computer typing those words in colors. The next example is Hannah was crying in front of her computer chatting with Tommy. "You're right he is the enemy." This shot shows the words in black on the white background on the computer and it symbolizes the fact that Hannah loosing her virginity to some popular guy does not make her the popular girl she has wanted to be.
Intrinsic interest means that through the context of the story, the audience knows that an object is more important dramatically than it appears to be visually. An example of intrinsic interest is Dawn sitting down at the nurse's office getting her mouth checked. This leads you to conclude that something terribly shocking is about to come in the movie. Dawn sitting down at talking to the State of Public Health is another example of intrinsic interest. The scene shows the office doors closed and that Dawn is crying through the holes of the open blinds on the glass paneling by the door. As you see Dawn crying, you automatically think that she received an awful news, which is her catching a disease from having multiple sex partners. The last example of intrinsic interest is when the letter about syphilis, a disease that can be transmitted from another individual, gets out to the student body. As a result, the high school students rip and throw the white paper around. This shows that the object, which is the letter, is being unknowledgeable and that students are not accepting the fact that catching a disease from having sex is contagious.
Furthermore, the facts of getting in the crowd leads to Hannah, Becca, and Dawn putting out the rest of their own life. As for the three girls, the unsafe parties they attend symbolize the intrinsic interest meanings through the context of the story. For example, the party shows people drinking alcohol, smoking, and having sex. These images say that the girls are on a road of danger if it means drinking, smoking, and having sex is a way to popularity. Another example is when Hannah, Becca, and Dawn all find out that they all have syphilis from having sex with the same guy, Nick Hartman. The symbolic meaning behind this is that syphilis is a disease that anyone can catch, especially from young teenagers who has multiple sex partners. The last example is the scene when Trish Vogul, goes to the State of Public Health and ask for more information on syphilis. This symbolizes that Trish is willing to help her daughter and other parents who have a child that has syphilis.
Never do something against your will just to fit in with the crowd.
