Examples Of Stereotypes In Horror Movies
In every horror movie there are always certain people that survive. They always go by the same plot like rules. In every horror movie there are rules everyone should follow.. Some of them are the way people act (stereotypes) or what they should and shouldn't do. In a horror movie there are always the stereotypes of how people act.
There are always rules on how to act. The stereotypes are always the same, the cool, the dumb, and the smart friend. The cool one is the jock or the popular guy. They think about their looks and girls. The dumb friend is that one girl who thinks more about their appearance than smarts and staying alive. THEY ALWAYS DIE. Don't be them. The smart one is the popular girl. She doesn't really care about her appearance.

    The Queen Bee And Her Court Analysis

    There are many different ways to classify a person, some good and some bad. In Rosiland Wiseman’s essay “The Queen Bee and Her Court” she says, “We need to give girls credit for the sophistication of their social structures”. She’s right, the way girls separate each other into different cliques is very complex and multilayered, but sometimes it can be very harmful to some of the girls. If you classify someone has a “Queen Bee”, or “The IT girl”, they are going to feel empowered and special. But what about the girls you call “Losers”, or “Wannabe’s”. They are going to feel depressed, like they don’t fit in, or that they’re weird or not as good as those other girls.…

    Stereotypes In Paul Feig's Ghostbusters

    Sequels usually have a bad reputation, but Ghostbusters 3 takes that stereotype and shove it in the Patriarchy. Yes, many years later we have a more modern sequel slaying the theatres. I went to see this the day before my birthday with a few friends and the movie left me in awe. Ghostbusters 3 makes women into the saviours, instead of the mother, the nurse, or supporting roles.…

    Dr. Carson's Informative Speech

    Cool kids supposedly have great lives and are cool for most of their lives. The nerds are shunned by their classmates and prefer to focus on their studies. You may choose being cool after hearing about their lives in school but later on the nerd goes to a good college while the cool guy flips burgers at a fast-food restaurant. After college the nerd gets a good job which he uses to get a car, and changes his normal attire into suits and no longer wears glasses. The nerd finally has a good life because he worked hard and the no longer cool slacker is stuck having the job at the fast-food place. I would much rather be a nerd half my life and successful the rest than be popular and then end up failing at life…

    Cliques In Mean Girls

    No matter what school you go to, there will always be cliques—the social hierarchy of the entire student body. The movie Mean Girls, or really any teen high school-based movie, depicts the lives of teenagers and how everyone fits into a certain group. However, these movies tend to be hyperbolic, and not everyone necessarily meets the standards to be in a group. For example, the cheerleaders and jocks are always at the top. Those who excel at sports are considered the "popular" kids, but I've never truly been able to figure out why that is. All movies that depict teenagers are stereotypical and make everything more dramatic than it ever truly is. When it comes to drama, people believe what they see and hear before they actually know anything about the person or subject.…

    High School Confidential: Notes On Teen Movies

    Similarily like television shows, these films are also filled with stereotypes and can develop a type of society that the producers intended to create in the film itself. In more detail, it categorizes people and divides them among each other. In the essay “High School confidential: Notes on Teen Movies.”, author David Denby states that typical teen movies all have the same two type of characters that are repeatedly used. “She is beautiful and rich…everyone is afraid of her, that’s why she is popular…she has a counterpart. He’s usually a football player” (366). In reality, this may apply to many schools where it is indeed correct that the popular people are the most attractive and athletic. Numerous films are based on stories where the “cool kids” are never seen with the nerds because it simply goes against society’s rules. “The social queens and jocks, using their looks to dominate others, represent an American barbarism of beauty” (Denby 369). In actuality, it is a realistic representation in America. Therefore, it is these films that tell its audience that it is the way it should be and not the other way around. In addition to films using attractive and athletic people to represent reality, films also tend to exaggerate in people who have low social statuses. In the reading, “Class and Virtues”, the author states that the people who are low-class are made to…

    Examples Of Stereotypes In Blackface

    Growing up in America, I’ve been exposed to stereotypes of many races because they were prevalent throughout popular culture. I remember going back and watching movies and TV shows from my youth and realizing that many stereotypes( mainly jokes based on stereotypes) and adult jokes went over my head. As I was watching this film, I couldn’t help but to feel deeply disturbed and sad at the images I saw and the words I heard. I already knew about all of the stereotypes mentioned in this film and the history behind blackface, but I have never seen them displayed in a visual way. My one consistent thought throughout this film was that black people don’t look like the exaggerated and distorted way they were portrayed in cartoons and advertisements.…

    Non Conformity Research Paper

    Have you ever wondered about those few in your class who just do everything on there own, not caring what everyone else thinks about it? Those who oppose the cliques and those who think the "popular" kids are just a group of followers. If you actually get the time to look at then and get to know them you will find out that they are not just the group of "weirdoes", they live the romantic way of life, they are called the non conformists. Sounds kind of important huh? Well that is just what these kids strive not to be. They do not want to be the big time lawyers and businessmen, they do not want to be voted "best dressed" or "most popular". They just want to be themselves and be happy. You may ask yourself, well isn't that what we all want? If you think about it though, the majority of us also what to be wealthy and pretty and overall, just accepted. Well if you really were a non-conformist you wouldn't care about any of…

    Why Do High School Cliques

    Hannah Dancer, a senior thats apart of this popular girl clique, stated “we stick with other above average looking girls; most other girls are so basic.” This quote caught us by surprise because it lead us to wonder if the stereotype of popular girls being mean is true. This thought of only hanging out with other good looking girls spread out through all grades, but grades did not interfere with each other. In retrospect, these girls look for good looks in their friends, which may be why so many high school girls create drama and have problems.…

    “Jock”, “prep”, “loser”, “geek”, “criminal”, “ popular”, are just a few labels of teenagers that are used everyday by outsiders who judge them without looking skin deep. In the matter of stereotyping, some may perceive it as being the base of an identity in the view of society. Stereotyping is categorized and used as a positive view. As opposed to the film The Breakfast Club, that creates a more negative input on stereotyping. Peer groups have really changed over the years in a High school atmosphere.…

    High School Confidential

    High school in real life is full of surprises, but according to David Denby in his article "High School Confidential," High School in the movies is very predictable. The typical Hollywood "High School Scene" opens with the jock and the cheerleader characters. Blonde and buff, the Jock and the Cheerleader are superficial and proud to proclaim it. They are popular and perky, and always too good to be true. The cheerleader is usually the enemy of the hero or heroine. She is generally rich, blonde, and queen bee of the social circle, with no sense of selflessness. The jock is usually the bully, muscular, good looking and not very smart.(Denby 343) In an essence, the male counterpart of the cheerleader. The Jock and the Cheerleader are almost always the doppleganger of the hero and heroine. The jock and cheerleader stand for everything the hero despises, yet seemingly have everything that the hero is aiming for.…
