Clue..less!

As I got ready to watch the film for Monday night, I started to think about the movie and why it was so memorable in so many people's minds. I tried to watch the film as critically as I could, and tried to breakdown what made this such a good film. The characters really stand out in my mind. They all were strong points in the storyline, even if they were small parts. The writer gave each character a very identifiable image. An image that we can remember a friend being like in high school, or even one we could recognize as being oursleves. The characters all had their little missions or conflicts in life that needed to be resolved, and many of them helped eachother resolve them. We all remember what life was like in high school and the "big deals" that were going on in our lives, in this film we can remember and laugh at them.

The characters stand out in my mind also because of who played them. I think the casting director should also be thanked for finding actors that fit the characters perfectly. How could we imagine anyone else but Alicia Silverstone playing the part of Cher. The friends of Cher, the father, the teachers, they all seem to be mean't for their roles.

The film is so well received, popular, memorable, because of the strong characters and better actors in the film that we can all remember clearly. A story made this a movie, but the actors make it a good film.
