10 things i hate about this movie

10 Things I Hate About You is a pretty popular movie, and literally everyone was glazing it so i was like huh ok cool I’ll watch it. but honestly i think it’s a bit crappy. so here’s 10 things i hate about it:

1) kat stratford—a hyper feminist and bold girl—at one point of the movie FLASHES a teacher to get her boyfriend out of an ONE HOUR DETENTION. like, HUH?? WHAT ARE THE STAKES?? and the boyfriend, patrick verona, later praises her for it, saying something along the lines of “not everyday you find a girl who flashes a teacher to get you out of detention” and actually, you’re right pat! you don’t! why?? ITS DISGUSTING! ITS ILLEGAL!! AND JUST.. WEIRD!! plus, kat’s entire character contradicts this action, because she literally hates objectification of women. the scene just undermines her values to try and make a “romantic, sacrificial” scene but it just sucks and forces sexual shock value down your throat. and the teacher just accepts that he got flashed instead of reporting it??

2) perverted guidance counsellor writes explicit romance named after herself on the clock and she laughs at patrick apparently exposing himself and then he declines it saying he was holding a bratwurst and she laughs at the double entendre instead of reporting him. plus she added the word bratwurst to her trashy romance novel and im not sure how i feel about that.

3) then the girls dad (whos a gynaecologist, MIND YOU) makes the girls wear a pregnancy belly before they go out to a party or whatever so they feel the “weight of their consequences”. sorry, i just find that weird and super controlling? it was meant to be a gag, i can tell, but it just kind of centers the girls freedom around their supposed sexual activity.

4) kat drops her hatred for patrick the second he mentions obscure bands and calls her sexy

5) there’s a scene where cameron is venting to bianca about how she’s being selfish and how she shouldn’t treat people like they don’t matter. you would think, in such a vulnerable moment, bianca would apologise and they would talk, but NOPE! she just straight up kisses him and then runs off. just completely invalidates his feelings, his vulnerable speech goes in one ear out the other, and they even show cameron celebrating with a fist pump after she left. did he even care about being heard?? did he just want a kiss?? huh???

6) bianca saw kat get concussed after hitting her head on the chandelier and left without checking on her

7)  kat mad was at patrick for not making out with her when she was drunk. isn’t that.. the right thing to do..???? huh???

8) joey donner actively pays to manipulate a girl and treats women like objects and ends up with no real consequences. plus why the hell was biancas friend so smug while telling bianca joey was gonna “nail her (bianca) tonight”?? like ok?? you want a cookie?? is he gonna nail you instead??

9) cameron was a total “nice guy” and entitled. i know it was like framed as yearning but he only liked her for her looks and pretends to be a french tutor and coordinates all these lies just to get her to date him. and i can see how bianca choosing to hangout with joey at the party seemed like a douche move, but cameron literally just gets mad at her as if they have something going on. they don’t. open your eyes and you will see that all that’s happened between them is that they’ve sat at the same table at the library while he attempted at teaching french.

10) AND THE FINAL AND 10TH THING THAT PISSED ME OFF. a scene where kat reads her poem in class and it’s about missing patrick after she found out he dated her for a bribe and they obviously had a fight (the movie revolves around how he actually fell for her while they dated, as usual) and she cries during it. instead of making him earn her trust back, you just make her cry infront of her whole class over a guy who dated her for a bribe to show that she’s forgiven him. like what?? so instead of his shitty actions, it’s about her emotions so that he can get off with no consequences?? 

here comes the verdict.

drumroll.. 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

DON’T end arguments with kisses! 2/10

oh & please praise my somewhat witty title
