Since Hollywood found that teenagers represented a vast, untapped market, the teen movie (or, for the English majors, \"Bildungsroman\") has been an ever-evolving staple of the cinema landscape. These movies try to get at the heart of what it means to be a teenager; some do it so well you would think you're watching a documentary.
From the rock & roll-laced homages of Dazed and Confused and American Graffiti to more recent entries into the genre, such as Bo Burnham'sEighth Grade, teen movies have always been a means through which filmmakers can explore the trials and tribulations of humanity through the innocence and sentimentalism of adolescence.
It's the last evening of Summer in 1962, and the streets of Modesto, California, are teeming with teens, cars, and rock & roll. We follow a number of concurrent vignettes of the teens, played by the likes of Richard Dreyfuss and Ron Howard, as well as an appearance from Harrison Ford, as they encounter greasers, mysterious blonde women, and all manners of trouble and intrigue as they cruise the strip.
A group of teens who call themselves the \"Imperial Skate Board Club\" cruise the streets of L.A., causing mischief and trying to pick up girls. When one of the teens finds romance, his club-mate becomes jealous and challenges him to a skateboarding duel.
The study (read it here), conducted in July, collected data from 662 teens, ages 13-18, from across the U.S. It found only 4.4% of the teens queried wanted to see aspirational content, about story worlds that teens wish they were part of, such as being rich, and living the kinds of lives portrayed in Gossip Girl and such. Instead, 21% said they wanted to watch content that grapples with real-world issues, such as family dynamics or social justice.
Social media also is the go-to place for authenticity, according to most teens. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed felt that social media does the best job at reflecting content that feels authentic to them.
Other findings: Stories about mental health are important to teens, ranking No. 4 on the list. LGBTQIA+ teens ranked mental health as one of their top two topics of content. Both older and younger teens want to see more stories about family life, including relationships with parents. Partying and/or drugs and drinking came in second to last and content about climate change came in last.

These are teens that have formed an international cult around a comedic bit. The bit being they ironically dress in suits and ties, see Minions in droves, applaud in unison, and document it all on TikTok to a rap track.
Taking place during the events of the fifth season of the series, the film follows the Teen Titans, who attempt to have a movie made about them in Hollywood while dealing with supervillain Slade, who was responsible for making blockbuster movies about superheroes undercover as a Hollywood director.
GameSpot's Chris Hayner, while finding fault with what he deemed excessive toilet humor and some dragging in the film, said that \"In a superhero movie landscape where the world is constantly being destroyed by massive CGI abominations, this is a refreshing change... it doesn't forget how funny and exciting these types of movies can be.\"[34]
In many movies, the hero will either do anything to win, or saves the day despite his proudly cultivated vices. It is probably best to avoid movies where heroes make light of killing (unfortunately, the Die Hard movies and many action movies). I also avoid movies where people break the Ten Commandments and thereby win, with little or no redemption required (controversially in my family, I apply this to The Little Mermaid and Despicable Me). Instead, try movies whose heroes doggedly stick to a personal code.
Many movies have a religion problem. They want to make religious people look like weirdos and bigots; this is a problem with some great films like Field of Dreams and The Shawshank Redemption. A related problem can be found in movies in which God is conspicuously absent, like Cast Away and The Polar Express. Instead, show them movies that respect religion:
Images you see stay with you for years. Avoid movies that objectify women, using scantily-clad female forms merely to titillate audiences. (I do show movies that include non-glamorized nudity, such as The Mission and Apocalypto.) Also avoid needlessly graphic violence (which kept an otherwise helpful movie, The Patriot, off various lists here). Instead, show them movies with inspiring images that will stick with them.
Smoking, drinking, and drug use endure as popular yet dangerous behaviors among American teenagers. Films have been cited as potential influences on teens' attitudes toward and initiation of substance use. Social cognitive theory suggests that teen viewers may be especially likely to learn from teen models who they perceive as similar, desirable, and attractive. Yet, to date, no studies systematically have analyzed teen characters in films to assess the frequency, nature, and experienced consequences of substance use depictions. Assessments of content are necessary precursors to effects studies because they can identify patterns of representations that warrant further examination. Accordingly, a content analysis of top grossing films from 1999, 2000, and 2001 was conducted. Overall, two-fifths of teen characters drank alcohol, one-sixth smoked cigarettes, and one-seventh used illicit drugs (N=146). Almost no differences existed between substance users and nonusers with regard to physical attractiveness, socioeconomic status (SES), virtuosity, or gender. Drinkers and drug users were unlikely to suffer any consequences--let alone negative consequences--in either the short or long term. Characters rarely were shown refusing offers to drink or do drugs, or regretting their substance usage. Girls were more likely than boys to be shown engaging in multiple substance use activities (e.g., smoking and drinking). Overall, recent teen-centered films may teach teen viewers that substance use is relatively common, mostly risk-free, and appropriate for anyone.
But even when the gun violence in PG-13 movies appears justified, parents think that the movies are more suitable for teens age 15 and up, two years older than suggested by the movie industry ratings board's PG-13 rating. Parents thought movies with unjustified but bloodless gun violence were more appropriate for 16-year-olds, the study finds.
\"The findings suggest that parents may want a new rating, PG-15, for movies with intense violence,\" said lead author Daniel Romer, research director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC). \"Violent movies often get a PG-13 rating by omitting the consequences of violence such as blood and suffering, and by making the use of violence seem justified. But parents of teenagers say that even scenes of justified violence are upsetting and more appropriate for teens who are at least 15.\"
Past studies by APPC researchers found that gun violence in the most popular PG-13 movies has more than doubled since the rating was introduced in 1984, and now exceeds the gun violence in comparable R-rated films. In the earliest years of the PG-13 rating, less than a third of the 30 top-grossing movies were rated PG-13, but recently more than half were PG-13. In past research on the growing acceptance of gun violence in PG-13 films, APPC researchers found that parents appeared to become desensitized to violence as they watched successive movie clips.
The current experiment was designed to understand whether parents became more accepting of the movie violence because they were being emotionally numbed to it or whether the justification for the violence influenced them. Could justified violence be less upsetting than unjustified violence And could parents who repeatedly saw the kind of bloodless, justified violence featured in PG-13 movies become so accustomed to it that they experience a kind of \"normative desensitization\" that leads to greater acceptance of its viewing by children 781b155fdc
