Before I go into detail about what this movie has taught me, I thought I'd share my favourite Clueless quotes with you all. Read on.
[driving up to a huge house]
Cher: "This is where Dionne lives. She's my friend because we both know what it's like for people to be jealous of us."
Amber: "Was I the only one listening? I thought it reeked."
Cher: "No, I believe that’s your designer imposter perfume."
"Ugh, as if!"
Amber: "Ms. Stoeger, my plastic surgeon doesn’t want me doing any activity where balls fly at my nose."
Dionne: "Well, there goes your social life."
Mr.Hall: [as Travis goes to jump out window] "And could the suicide attempts PLEASE be postponed until the next period?"
"Christian said he’d call the next day, but in boy time that meant Thursday."
"So okay, I don’t want to be a traitor to my generation and all but I don’t get how guys dress today. I mean, come on, it looks like they just fell out of bed and put on some baggy pants and take their greasy hair (eww!) and cover it up with a backwards cap and like, we’re expected to swoon? I don’t think so."
"He does dress better than I do, what would I bring to the relationship?"
Mel: "What the hell is that?"
Cher: "A dress."
Mel: "Says who?"
Cher: "Calvin Klein."
Cher: [wondering why she feels so horrible because of Tai and Josh; looks in a store window] "Ooh! I wonder if they have that in my size."
Cher: "If it’s a concussion, you have to keep her conscious, okay? Ask her questions."
Elton: "What’s seven times seven?"
Cher: "Stuff she knows!"
"I was just totally clueless."
Okay, I'm done (but seriously, this movie is like the Mean Girls of the 90's!).
Just about all of us are a little clueless about something (or everything), and during our teenage years especially. I actually think this is a pretty good thing. I mean, life wouldn't exactly be exciting if we knew all about anything and everything. This is the beauty of life - no one truly knows what is going to happen in the future, so this definitely gives you the right to take chances. Discover new things! No matter how 'crazy' your ideas may seem, you should definitely attempt to put your (not too extreme) ideas into action by doing whatever you can to make your dreams into a reality.
Still not convinced you should share your ideas? Maybe I should give you an example. I'm guessing you're all familiar with Richard Branson (or heard of any business beginning with 'Virgin'). He single-handedly began quite a large number of his own businesses - some failed; others are now extremely successful. My point being, Branson had an idea. No matter how many times he got knocked down or was laughed at, he didn't stop giving up and is now one of the richest people in Britain.
So no matter how clueless you may be right now, someday everything will make perfect sense. So make the most of it! xx
