Comedy/Coming-of-Age

    Hey guys! I'm back and presenting to you the other topic that I had already promised. 

    A coming of age comedy.

    I believe that one of the most ICONIC coming of age movies is Clueless. It has so many realistic situations, while also pushing reality and creating a sort of criticism mixed with satire.

    Amy Heckerling's film Clueless is relevant, relatable, and entertaining even in society today. 

    Here are some techniques frequently used in coming of age films:

• Character Growth: 
• a character realizing their future, which makes them pass on from being innocent, to an adult.
• Dialogue: 
• interior lives of the character are focused on, and dramatic actions or events will not help to develop the character's emotions or personality.
• Social Commentary: 
• addressing issues that teens face today
• examples:
• coming out: Moonlight (2016)
• teen pregnancy: Juno (2007)
• race and violence: Boyz n the Hood (1991)

Another important coming of age movie is The Breakfast Club (1985)
