Review of Pretty Persuasion (2005) by Cancelled U — 03 Feb 2010

And this is why I love Evan Rachel Wood, she isn't just young, talented, and breath - taking'ly gorgeous, she is the bitch!

Pretty Persuasion revolves around a smart, cunning, not racist high school girl, who plot her plan in such a way that you can't help just love her, well at least I do. She create a media frenzy, with her friend's saying that their English / Drama teacher sexualy harrassed them. Is it true? Or is she just making it up for..?. Of course It doesn't have moral plot, it's just those kinda movie with dark humor, twist events, and challenging cast. The movie wouldn't be the same without Evan Rachel Wood, she is truly a star here. You will see, why she turned out this way, and the ending just open whole lot of interpretation; what ever suits you best. Other cast did good too, most noticable is Jane Krakowski from The Office.

Kimberly Joyce: I have respect for all races, but I'm very glad that I was born white. As a woman, it's the best race to be. Especially if you want to become an actress, like I do.

[pause].

Kimberly Joyce: If I wasn't white, then the next thing I would wanna be is Asian because a lot of men like Asian girls because they think they're docile and subservient and sweet which I don't really think is true because I once met this Asian girl at summer camp one time and she was a real bitch.

[pause].

Kimberly Joyce: If I couldn't be white and I also couldn't be Asian, then my third choice would be African-American because I've always wanted to be a gospel singer and also, black men are more forgiving if your butt gets big. Except I'd definitely want light skin and Caucasian features like... Vanessa Williams or Halle Berry. And finally, you know, no offense or anything Randa, but my very last choice would be Arab. I mean, truth be told you're not in a very enviable position. There's a lot of resentment in this country toward the Middle East and there's a lot of stereotypes floating around which I don't think are true because in the short amount of time I've known you, you haven't tried to bomb anybody and you currently smell okay to me.

8/10.
