Media homework

On this task, we were asked to analyze and compare two movies of our choice.
I decided to analyze the movie ''Mean Girls'' and ''Men in Black''  and compare them to each other.

Mean Girls is recognized as a 2007 American teen comedy film that was written by Tina fey and directed by Mark waters. Mean girls is a movie that is all about a sixteen-year-old girl named Cady Heron and her parents who arrive again to the United States after spending 16 years in a research program in Africa. Overall the movie shows her experience in an all- American high school  and what difficulties she has when she is  pressured to be a plastic just by her friends just so they know what the experience is like.

There have been indications in the movie which show that the movie is mostly for girls as the color pink has been flaunted around the movie very often which is seen stereotypical a color that girls are associated with and like. Also, pink is a color that is very feminine. The color pink is practically the color that represents the movie Mean Girls it is on the film cover and is the most common color that is worn in the film. In the movie there is even a famous quote the plastics say which is ''on Wednesdays we wear pink''.

Age group : When it comes to the age group of this movie  I believe that this movie would be relatable and found interesting to fifteen-year-olds up to eighteen-year-olds, i believe that anyone can watch mean girls however because of the language and concept of the film i believe it would be found more interesting to the younger generation as it involves relatable and girly scenes. However, it has been noted that the movie is PG13.

Men in Black is known as a 1997 American Comedy Scifi movie that was directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and produced  by Walter F. Parkes.

The movie shows two spies Agent K and his partner Agent D they try to stop a truck smuggling illegal immigrants to the United States. However, difficulties are then faced as they find out inside there is an alien in the truck disguised as human and overall they try to capture the alien. The spies are known as the best-kept secret in the universe as they work for a very wealthy funded unofficial government agency. Agent K and Agent D are the Men in Black the source of immigration services and manager of all things alien on earth.

There have been some signs that show that this movie is a movie that seems to be an attraction for mostly males as some of the scenes are faster and action packed. Although it may be a movie that is seen to be more male influenced I believe that any gender could watch Men in Black as some female could like action films and be interested in this movie as it is a comedy too.

(Spies could be seen cool to young kids as they have gadgets and wear dark glasses and get very important roles)

One of the reasons why this movie could attract guys is because young boys of the age of thirteen might find it intriguing  that these two guys have a job role of capturing aliens and being spies. Also, the thought of something supernatural in a film could excite them. It could even be that being a spy is something that some boys may aspire to be when they're older. 


Age group: When it came to the age group of this film it was said that the age group was PG13, acceptable for thirteen-year-olds to watch. However, I believe that anyone could watch men in black as its a movie that has mature scenes that could be enjoyed by people of older age.
