Pretty in Pink
A teenage love film in 1986. Popular for its time, delt with the clash of the different types of classes during the 80's. Molly Ringwald is a poor city girl who has a crush on the school rich boy. The friends of these two each take turns in bashing the other. In the end the two main characters, Andie and Blane overcome the social faux pas and get together for the high school senior prom. This outcome is procured when Andie creates her own pink prom dress. The original story has Andie ending up with her long time friend Duckie, but due to the idea to sell the movie, the ending was change to the Cinderella style setting that is meant to inspire teenagers of that time. The movie was shot at the same high that Grease(1977) was shot at, which was also mentioned throughout chapter 9.
