7/25/22 Clueless Revisited?

     We hadn't sat and watched Clueless in a long while, but we watched it again as part of the movies we have been watching with Mijo lately.  It is generally a good movie with some fun parts in it, and kind of a disturbing ending.  I wanted to see it through Mijo's viewpoint, and the boy did not disappoint, he is pretty consistent.

   His first notice was "Wasn't Cher (Alicia Silverstone) stupid in the beginning of the movie, but then she seems to get smarter halfway through the movie."  I always thought she was more of an airhead, having no reason to take anything seriously, as daddy gives her everything.

    Nowadays, I really like Paul Rudd, but it took me years to like him initially, this movie gave me the creeps about him, in the movie he falls in love with his stepsister, how was this okay with Hollywood, other than as the conservatives say, Hollywood has always been full of degenerates.  In the story, the dad even seems to approve of the two step siblings falling in love, it just has a really creepy vibe, when taken out of the fantasy of a movie.  

    Even Mijo noticed it saying the story is going along just fine, Cher and her friends are having little adventures, then it seems like the movie was taking too long and they needed to finish it, so they came up with this idea to give Cher a "perfect" older man, since that is what she keeps saying is what she wants all along.  I would have preferred to see her just stay single, why does everyone have to live happily ever after in the end of the movies, this relationship would only have lasted through a semester at the most.  What are they going to do, go to family functions together, that is still creepy, and these liberal elites like to make fun of the south?

    It is fun to see Donald Faison as a kid, who went on to great success in Scrubs, loved that show.  I also really liked Brittany Murphy, who sadly passed away too young.  Paul Rudd is obviously the breakout star of this ensemble, shoot, he is in the Marvel universe now as Ant-Man.
