Overview
On the first day at his new school, Cameron instantly falls for Bianca, the gorgeous girl of his dreams. The only problem is that Bianca is forbidden to date until her ill-tempered, completely un-dateable older sister Kat goes out, too. In an attempt to solve his problem, Cameron singles out the only guy who could possibly be a match for Kat: a mysterious bad boy with a nasty reputation of his own.
I love this movie, I watch it a couple of times a year, that's for sure 🥰
And a separate advantage is the unsuccessful duplicates. They show that the atmosphere there was cheerful. In general, one of the best romantic comedies. Now I'm going to watch everything about actors and edits with the film😅
The verse at the end with tears in his voice is amazing
Ah, this classic of the noughties...
in an era when cinema had not yet entangled itself in the web of political correctness, and teen dramas were not shy about speaking frankly about the turbulent chemistry of growing up, this sincere story was born.
"10 reasons to hate me" is a time capsule that preserves the spirit of the late 90s: it shows without embellishment how yesterday's children learn to love, hate and commit stupidities under the pressure of hormones.
The film seems to breathe the very freedom when the creators were not afraid to put explicit dialogues into the mouths of the characters, and scenes with alcohol, sexual innuendos and teenage rebellion did not cause the censors to have fits of righteous anger. That's the beauty of it — it's as honest as a high school student's diary, where the pages are covered with enthusiastic confessions and furious curses against the object of love.
Heath Ledger as Patrick Verona is an explosive mix of charm and chaos. His character is not just a "bad boy with a kind heart," but a real person: he is rude, but capable of tenderness, pretends to be a cynic, and writes love letters himself.
May he rest in peace — they don't make such actors anymore.
Of course, the film is full of idealization. After watching it, you start to believe that school bullies are actually poets at heart, and love conquers all injuries (although in reality, toxic relationships rarely end with dancing in the stadium). But who's looking for realism in this movie? This is a fairy tale about first love — bright, unfair and so necessary.
"10 reasons to hate me" is not just nostalgia for youth. This is a monument to an era when cinema has not yet forgotten how to speak to teenagers in their language — without discounts, without condescension, but with understanding. And if, after the end credits, you want to review it again, it means that somewhere inside there still lives that same rebel who believes that love is stronger than all the lists of hate in the world.
— I don't like peas.
The scenes in the credits are generally gorgeous, they added a pleasant impression to the film)
