Story was amazing as well, just not my kind of ending hahah. Hangeng's characters is basically probably every girl's dreamy boy next door type and the female actress was stunning as well. I'm so happy because Kris kinda disappointed me a bit in his Never Gone role so I was a bit nervous but it's obvious that dramatic characters suit him amazingly well. Otherwise all I got to say was acting was ON POINT. kinda?) then they'd really like the ending. For those who aren't looking for your stereotypical happy ending (I mean idk, maybe some people can find it somewhat happy. Rewatch Value 10 So I would give it a perfect 10/10 but for me the ending was too upsetting.
SWEET SIXTEEN MOVIE REVIEW MOVIE
NOTE: Also please watch the movie first before you decide to dig up the real ending to the original story. "Love is courage, love is joy, love is sacrifice, love is not a sin. Even though he was impulsive, he was heroic on most events, and brought together this message and lesson to the movie: He had gotten himself in trouble many times for Ya Wang. You'll see how much Xia Mu has grown and how he became a stronger person throughout the movie. Rather, he will progress and develop as a character through action. I just wish Xia Mu would have more dialogues, but I understand he's a stoic and emotionless character from the start so he wouldn't speak much. The cinematography and the amazing music went well with all the scenes. (on unrequited love)Įnding: Hopeful (That's a hint that it ended well.) Ringwald provides a perfect center for the story, and her reaction in the first scene with her grandmother is just about worth the price of admission.Near halfway: Heartbreaking. There are a lot of effective performances in this movie, including Paul Dooley as Samantha's harried father, Blanche Baker as the zonked-out older sister, Hall as the Geek, and Gedde Watanabe as the exchange student (he elevates his role from a potentially offensive stereotype to high comedy). Then, in a real departure for this kind of movie, they really start to talk, and it turns out they're both lonely, insecure, and in need of a good friend. They're sitting in the front seat of an old car. For example, on the night of the dance, Samantha ends up in the shop room with the Geek. But writer and director John Hughes doesn't treat them as subjects for exploitation he listens to these kids. "Sixteen Candles" contains most of the scenes that are obligatory in teenage movies: The dance, the makeout session, the party that turns into a free-for-all. Also, there are complications involving Jake's stuck-up girlfriend, Samantha's impossible grandparents, various older and younger brothers and sisters, and a foreign exchange student named Long Duk Dong, who apparently has come to this country to major in partying. Meanwhile, the Geek ( Anthony Michael Hall) is in love with her. She has a crush on a senior boy named Jake ( Michael Schoeffling), who looks like Matt Dillon, of course, and doesn't even know she's alive.
The movie's told mostly from her point of view, and it's like " Valley Girl" - it's about young kids who think a lot about sex, but who are shy and inexperienced and unsure and touchingly committed to concepts like True Love. The movie stars Molly Ringwald as Samantha, a bright-eyed teenager who pulls off the difficult trick of playing a character who takes everything too seriously - without ever taking herself too seriously. It doesn't hate its characters or condescend to them, the way a lot of teenage movies do instead, it goes for human comedy and finds it in the everyday lives of the kids in its story.
This is a fresh and cheerful movie with a goofy sense of humor and a good ear for how teenagers talk.
If "Sixteen Candles" begins to sound a little like an adolescent raunch movie, maybe it's because I haven't suggested the style in which it's acted and directed.
