I am an intern in Time Warner Public Access in Santa Monica. Last time I was working there, I saw a show interview about the new movie of Ann Finnegan, a new producer. I also had the chance to see a preview of her new movie Plastic makes perfect.
The movie talks about a big change in the teens of nowadays. It shows young girls wearing hills, make up and sexy swimsuits. They actually behave like her mother. From the back, we believe they are at least eighteen , but, then we realize that those are kids and they are having an unusual behavior for kids of their age. There is also a scene where they talk about sex and check out the guy who is cleaning the swimming pool.
With such a controversial movie, Ann Finnegan wants to show that the new teen generation is not what it used to be. Girls do not play Barbies anymore, they want to be Barbie and fool around with ken.
This movie is definitely going to shock people because of the straightforwardness of the dialog. It is also an important movie that is showing the change that is happening in the new generation. Kids are growing up too fast. They do not live a childhood for a long time. They want to act like adults. They want to dress like adults. This movie is denouncing this. Kids should not act older than they are. Society is sick because of all the media and images that kids are exposed too, they are acting differently. They want to be the sexy models on the magazines. They want to seduce boys as girls do in the television shows. It is becoming dangerous because sometimes, we have problem to figure out what age someone is. It may be dangerous for teenagers that may become victims of pedophiles.
Kids should try to look older or imitate the adults at the point that they kinda look alike. Media are dangerous and the results of it are underage kids trying to pretend they are older.
