Daily Dialogue — September 12, 2016

“You were nothing before you met me. You were playing Barbies with Betty Finn. You were a Bluebird. You were a Brownie. You were a Girl Scout Cookie.”

— Heathers (1988), written by Daniel Waters

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Bullying.

Trivia: With its shared themes of vicious girl cliques and murderous outcasts getting revenge, Heathers was described by many critics as an 80s version of Carrie.

Dialogue On Dialogue: One of the best 80s teen movies, Heathers offers a particularly dark view of bullying leading to multiple deaths and much self-reflection.
