It stars Camila Mendes, Maya Hawke, Austin Abrams, Rish Shah, and Sarah Michelle Gellar, and is loosely inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train (1951).
Review of Do Revenge Netflix movie has received a lot of “popularity” at the moment, giving ‘Do Revenge vengeance … alternately solving’ work of (Jennifer Kaytin Robinson) with directing and writing a long film after She has only recently worked on a screenplay for ‘Thor: With Love and Asani’ (2022), which, if you look at her past work, it can be said that she has a talent in the genre. Female-powered teenagers like this are more than hero movies. Both writing the script for the series ‘Unpregnant’ (2021) about a female friend who intends to attend a top university but fails to get pregnant first.
or the series ‘Sweet/Vicious’ (2016), which tells the “story” of a female vigilante who retaliates against sexual harassers on campus. It can be seen that although it is a typical teen movie series. But Robinson always has something different to offer.
Likewise in ‘Do Revenge’, it tells the story of (Dreda), a typical homely Latin American teenager. but has an ambitious dream to be a special person in a high-class high school society to move on to entering a leading university Which she uses both her intelligence and pressure to survive in the world of chaotic teenagers. Until one day she was bounced back from (clip) until she lost her social queen status. And it creates a resentment that she’s convinced herself that she’s being bullied by Max, the good-looking ex-boyfriend of the school’s beloved king.
Drea also accidentally meets (Eleanor), an introverted young woman with a grudge against her lesbian ex-girlfriend. Causing Drea to come up with alternate plans to avenge the other party. It’s like taking (Plot) Alfred Hitchcock’s classic crime movie ‘Strangers on a Train’ (1951) in an interesting teen movie.
The movie might look particularly striking from the original plot, but it hasn’t escaped the formula for success in the genre, which comes at some point after an act of heart-wrenching revenge. (Actually, I still don’t feel very satisfied. (Maybe given that it’s a young movie, too), we’d expect the two best buddies to have a drama of conflicts and then alleviate to end all the problems in the end beautifully.
But Robinson I tried one more difficult move to say that this wasn’t such an easy-to-guess teen movie, and made things more and more controversial and unreasonable, asking if it was interesting. It makes from a movie for teenagers to kill time and forget about each other. When you have something to stick in your mind But the way to impress the audience turned out to be incompatible with the way the story was told in the first place.
Another thing that the movie does well is that “teenager” is a tiring age. Every character is locked in a cage and has always become the lure of something. from their dreams, their expectations or those around them from having to be accepted from the social hierarchy From the moral standard that white people behave badly to other people of color, it can turn into a racist controversy, no matter how good a black person is.
Including the subject of revenge and forgiveness. With the question of where it ends or why take revenge because no one is truly happy, even in the end, the movie returns to the normal standard formula that teen movies need to take back and enjoy life. go And the lessons of adult life that should be considered as overlooked and forgiven for the creator as well.
