MEDIA LANGUAGE•Centering on a trio of high school girls, Pretty Persuasion is a darkly humorous satire that, unlike most films of its genre, is not confined to its setting, the high school, but aims to comment on various timely social issues by including mansion, bedroom and court room
•(Writer) Skander Halim's script provides plenty of shock value, such as racist remarks, somewhat subtly out of Kimberly's mouth as an after-effect from the more overt comments made by her caricature of a father (James Woods)
•Also there are title cards which often announce, one month earlier or one month later
•The main iconographic images we see in this film are of “the media” which relate to the fact that the story is based on the main character wanting fame
