00:00Why is it that in high school, some people have power even though they have no official authority?
00:03I make videos about movies and TV series, subscribe!
00:06It's back to school time, so we're going to talk about how school is portrayed in TV series and...
00:10movies.
00:10In Clouless, Cher is beautiful, rich, popular and of course, practically everyone knows who she is.
00:15But like Regina George in Minx Girls, Cher obviously has no real power in her high school.
00:21His influence stems primarily from his social status.
00:23She knows the rules, she knows how to dress, she knows who to talk to
00:26And above all, she knows how to change the way others are perceived.
00:30And we see this perfectly when she meets Tay.
00:33Tay is new, she doesn't really know the rules of the school and doesn't belong to any group yet.
00:38Cher then decides to take her under her wing.
00:40She changes her look, she gives him advice, she explains who he was hanging out with,
00:44She explains everything she needs to do and it works!
00:46Tay becomes popular, so popular that she even begins to question Cher's position.
00:52And that's where Clouless becomes interesting.
00:54The film shows that popularity in high school is not necessarily linked to who a person really is.
01:00It can also be constructed with an image, codes, and above all, the gaze of others.
