When we are talking about naivete and silliness then there is no better example than Clueless. A coming-of-age comedy that satirizes the rich girls who are totally cool and unbelievably snobbish. Clueless is a movie that has a most distinctive style, there are numerous lines that you can use when you are talking as a reference to the movie and there is also that campiness that it is so damn powerful in that film that leaves you totally speechless. Clueless can be seen also as a great farce of the privileged, the movie clearly has a venomous humour for these kind of people. The stupidity, the pretentiousness and the false image that they are trying to sell are some of the elements that you can find in the movie. Clueless is a movie that clearly loves satire, it has build its whole story upon the idiotic image of a rich girl who as a clueless performs life in a most irritating way that is intolerable for the eyes of the spectator. A film that balances between the absolute trashing and forgiveness, you can't be sure if it pictures all these terrible, idiotic things to make fun of that girl or it tries to come to terms with her stupidity. She is the hero of the film but at the same time she is a really pathetic character who if she was build for a drama movie she would be really someone to cry for. Clueless is the yogurt thrown upon a character, is the instant cry that speaks about how stupid people are sometimes and it is most of all the "finger of death" that touches the ones that have no clue of how irritating, boring and utterly phony they are. A poisonous satire that worships its campy character and gives to the spectator a story where he can laugh out loud with things that are far from funny. They are in reality the sad truth of a whole generation of rich and privileged kids. Laugh out loud, it will do you good.
