Director Alice Wu flips the Cyrano de Bergerac trope. A shy, straight-A student helps the jock write love letters to the girl they both secretly love. This is a quiet, philosophical take on teen love. It argues that romantic love is not the highest form of love (Eros); sometimes, the friendship and intellectual bond (Philia) forged through a shared secret is more profound. The ending—a train station goodbye without a kiss—is more satisfying than any wedding scene. Key Themes in Modern Female Stories 📍 Self-Discovery
B&S About Movies
Based on the date I am going to guess this ending was inspired by LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR – which does a similarly nasty last minute misogynist sucker punch fake-out after two odd hours of women’s lib swinging. Were male filmmakers really threatened by the entrance of women’s lib, Billie Jean King, Joan Collins, and Erica Jong’s “zipless f*ck” they needed a retaliation? If so, good lord. I remember being around 13 and seeing the last half of GOODBAR on cable thinking I was finally getting to see ANNIE HALL. I seriously could have used PTSD therapy afterwards – but how do you explain all that as a kid? I’ve always wanted to (and still do) sucker punch Richard Brooks for revenge ever afterwards, And I would never see this movie intentionally. I’ve cried my Native American by the side of the road pollution tear once too often.
