into the Teen Angst category. Or, really, any hardlined category for that matter. When you say "teen angst" people thing of the Hughes' films, but more importantly of the Hughes' ripoffs of modern day. The recent ones have been done poorly so it gives the genre a bad name.
That's what sets BLT apart. So let it stand on its own laurels. It'll work.
: But guys...Why does everyone frown when another "Teen Angst" film comes out. None of my friends wanted to see "Better Luck Tommorow" cause of it's angst mood. Well fuck them...I saw the movie and it was terrific.
: Being in high school, i understand why more and more of these films are coming out in theatres. Although high school has been misrepresented in most films, "Better Luck Tommorow" portrayed high school realistically.
: High school is filled with hate and i believe movies that express that are very entertaining. Kids fight all the time, it's crazy. The point of this post is to say that TEEN ANGST FILMS ARE RELEVENT AND ENTERTAINING.
