10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU
10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU!
The movie starts out at an American high school with a new student named Cameron sitting in the office of the Principal Ms. Perky. He is then shown around the school by Michael, who will become his best friend. During his tour is when Cameron first sees Bianca Stratford and he instantly falls in love, there is only one problem: she isn't allowed to date. And neither is her sister, Katarina, a senior who loves indie rock and is a feminist. But Kat and Bianca's father alters his house rule, now; Bianca can date... as long as Kat has a date, too. Now, in order for Cameron to date Bianca, he has to find someone to date Kat. So Michael helps him enlist the help of Antagonist Joey, tricking him into thinking that he will get to take Bianca out if he pays someone to take out Kat. Cameron and Michael select Patrick a so-called bad-boy who apparently has been to jail and ate a raw duck. Joey pays Patrick and then after a bit of persistence from Patrick, Kat goes out with him so now Bianca can date also. The two girls go to a party although Bianca has two dates.
At the party Kat gets drunk and throws herself at Patrick, but he rejects her leaving her angered and unwilling to talk to him. At the party, Bianca sees Cameron but is dragged away by Joey. He poses and tries to please her when Bianca realizes he is just obsessed with himself. Kat starts table dancing after getting drunk and hits her head on the chandelier, collapsing off the table and into the arms of Patrick who takes her outside. They talk on the swings; however after throwing up on his shoes, Patrick takes Kat home. She unsuccessfully attempts to kiss him after he drives her home, then slams the car door in his face and storms off. Cameron admits his feelings for Bianca, and they kiss in the front seat of his car. The next day, Patrick attempts at apologising but fails, but eventually wins Kat over with a performance of a song over the loudspeaker in front of her entire soccer team.

    Although the movie Ten Things I Hate About You is based on a Shakespearian play, it was released in 1999 so it was essential that the director Gil Junger made it both relevant and appealing to a modern audience. He does this primarily through alterations to the setting and the characters, with few changes to the basic plot. The target audience is teenagers, and all the major characters are also teenagers and are all in high school, making it much easier for the viewers to relate to them.…

    The Taming of the Shrew was a Shakespearean play that was written between 1590 and 1592. Set in both Padua, and Verona, Italy, the play details the “love” story of Petruchio and Katherina. Shakespeare had written the play to be a comedic piece. In 1967 Franco Zeffirelli transformed The Taming of the Shrew into a movie. Maintaining the original story line and setting, Zeffirelli worked the relationship of actors Richard Burton, Petruchio, and Elizabeth Taylor, Katherina into the comedic movie. In 1999 the Shakespearean play was transformed again and directed by Gil Junger. Junger’s movie, 10 Things I Hate About You, is a modernized take on the original play. Changing Katherina to Kat, and Petruchio to Patrick, Junger immersed the movie in the popular culture ideals of the 1990’s. Interpretations of the texts differ from person to person, this opinions will be based upon an individuals beliefs and values. I interpreted both texts to be misogynistic, although The Taming of the Shrew is more so than 10 Things I Hate About…

    I am a passionate aspiring director and photographer, who loves experimenting and creating art that I can enjoy as well as my audience. The video clips showed in my portfolio are bits and pieces of a movie, "With Love, Alex", directed and produced by me. My artwork is a drama, horror, and thriller flick that takes place in the life of high school senior, who holds a grudge on her best friends and takes actions on them. The theme of the movie was inspired by the 90's coming-of-age comedy films, such as "Clueless", "10 Things I hate About You", "She's All That", "Never Been Kissed", etc. The horror aspect is shown in the body language, actions, and insecurities of the girl who goes by the name "Alex".

Becky is chained to her phone and unable to talk about anything other than her work. She stumbles over her words and acts as if she were still a pubescent teenager on her first date. The marketing executive immediately realizes her awkwardness and incapacity to remove herself from her job and quickly asks for the check. Here the audience sympathizes for Becky, seeing her struggle in trying to fulfill one of life’s basic needs: companionship. The date is followed by a montage of her daily routine in…

    Almost everyone has heard the name “William Shakespeare” at least once in their life. Either they had to read or act out one of his plays in high school, are studying him in a college course, seen his play in theatre, or watched a video based on one of his works. There are so many movies that are influenced by his plays. Two of them are “The Lion King”, “10 Things I Hate About You”. Many shows mention his name. So here is the lingering question: why are we still so intrigued by him, a man who died almost four hundred years ago? I believe that in order to truly understand why William Shakespeare is still very much remembered, why so many movies are based off of his work, and why we still quote him to this day, another question must be answered…
