Who knew that hating someone so bad could feel sooooo good.
With so many movies out and about. I couldn’t but feel lost... indecisive was clearly decipherable on my face.
Walking towards the cinema a sudden flash hit my eyes, ‘10 Things I Hate About You’, I began to read off the cinema board. I couldn’t believe it. Could this be the one? We all decided to watch it. Huffing and puffing as I ran up the stairs and slowly entering the cinema doors. I could feel the adrenaline moving through my veins and at any given moment I was ready to break. With so much excitement rushing inside of me, a sudden fear also consumed me. A dozen of doubtful questions began entering into my head. What if this isn’t the ONE?
As the curtains began expanding, the advertisements stopped playing, the bright lights became dark as knights, and the boisterous crowd sat silent like mice. This was it; this was the moment where all my doubtful questions would be answered.
After viewing the opening credits, listening to the non-diagetic music and observing every detail. My eyes widened and my mouth just dropped. I was lost with words. Never before has a movie been more active and attention grabbing.
With references to the classic Shakespeare play "The Taming of the Shrew". The ‘10 Things I Hate About You’ movie was set in a modern day high school, whereby freshman Cameron (Joseph Gorden- Lewit) instantly falls for pretty, shallow Bianca (Larisa Oleynik) but she’s in love with cool, egocentric Joey. With Bianca being forbidden to date -with the only exception if her sister Kat does (showing no inclination to date). It leaves Cameron with only one solution and that is… finding Kat a date.
In an attempt to win her heart and get the girl, Cameron is determined to do what ever he can, even if it kills him. Singling out the mysterious bad- boy (Heath Ledger) for Kat should be no problem right? Or is it? This comedy film is a wildly entertaining look at exactly how far some guys go to get a date!
The smart, wry wit, and sharp dialogue are certainly key ingredients, and one of the reasons why ‘10 Things I Hate About You’ succeeds.
Described as “funny” and “uproarious” by many. I give this movie a rating of 4.0 out 5 for being “devilishly entertaining.” This all in one movie is perfect for viewers wanting a touch of comedy, a pinch of romance and splat of drama.
