Clueless (1995)

Nonton Film Clueless Sub Indo – “So, OK, you’re probably like – what is this, a Noxzema commercial? First words of “Clueless” That’s exactly what I was like. The hand-held camera was tilting crazily, showing the sun-blessed teenagers of Southern California, and I’m like – what is this, an MTV video? Then Cher says the line and breaks the ice. Not Cher who won the Oscar.

Cher, the heroine of this movie. A little later, she explains that she and her friend Dionne “were both named after great singers of the past that now do infomercials.” (She adds, “She’s my friend because we both know what it is to have people be jealous of us.”) “Clueless” is a smart and funny movie, and the characters are in on the joke. Cher (Alicia Silverstone), who lives in a mansion and looks like Cybill Shepherd, is capable of lines like, “Why learn to park when every place you go has a valet?” But she puts a little satirical spin on them. She is one of the most totally self-absorbed characters in a movie since the heroes of “Wayne’s World,” and yet she isn’t a victim, and we get the idea she will grow up tough and clever, like her dad (Dan Hedaya).

Nonton Film Clueless Sub Indo – He’s a big-time lawyer, a litigator who is always working on big cases. In most movies like this, he would therefore be a blundering, insensitive oaf with a microscopic IQ. Not here. He knows everything that’s going on, cares for his daughter, is protective of her, and tells a kid taking her out on a date: “If anything happens to her, I got a .45 and a shovel. I don’t think you’ll be missed.” Also looking out for Cher is her stepbrother (Paul Rudd) by one of her dad’s earlier marriages. Family trees have many branches in these circles.

Cher and Dionne live in Beverly Hills and go to one of those high schools where the students look like they’ve posed for the cover of Sassy. They have longsuffering teachers such as Mr. Hall (Wallace Shawn) and Miss Geist (Twink Caplan), who both give Cher bad grades. She is not discouraged. She knows that happy teachers give higher grades, and convinces each teacher that the other is a secret admirer. “You negotiated your way from a C to an A?” her dad asks.
