An All In One Film!

       Brainless Babe is an all in one film. Let me elaborate:

Brainless Babe is a coming-of-age film that entails romance, drama, suspense, and more, all while reminding you of some of the most iconic late 90s/2000s chic films. Before I go on to discuss the genre, here are some of my favorite 2000s films: 

                                                 

       

I recommend watching these if you're the type to love girly Coming-of-Age movies. 

Now, what is Coming-of-Age?

Coming-of-Age is not necessarily a genre alone. At times, it feels like a theme. All films within this category usually rely on one focus, one character. This character's growth, from childhood to adulthood, is shown. The story depends on whether it's a love story, news story, or anything of the sort; therefore, specifying the genre. Coming-of-Age films create a lot emotional response within characters and it's visible through the use of dialogue. Often, the films don't rely on action. 

Values that are portrayed in coming-of-age films consist of morality, self-awareness, responsibility, growth, etc. Several life lessons are learned from these movies. An example is from the film Perks of being a Wallflower, "Things change. Life goes on. With or without certain people;" this lesson was derived by author Zara Komora in The Daily Clog blog. She has a couple other examples if you'd like to read some more! 

   More recent coming-of-age films are less "feel good" than what I'm going for; that is why I chose these 6 movies above as inspiration. In Brainless Babe, the young model would be facing a life-changing experience. Something so monumental that she when she's grown into adulthood, other young models look up to her for changing the stereotype.
