example of intertextuality

I looked at the film 'Not another teen movie' and found they had a loads of different scenes that have been embedded from different movies..Including..'She's all that' , 'Ten things I hate about you' and 'Bring it on'

Here are a couple of examples

'Not another teen movie' And 'She's all that'

In these pictures you can see, this girl is 'nerd'. they are both wearing Overalls with paint all over them. There names in the films are also very similar, The girl on the left is 'Janey' And the one on the right is 'Laney' So it is made pretty obvious that this was copied/borrowed

'Not another teen movie' And '10 things I  hate about you'

In this scene both guys sing to the 'Nerdy' girl trying to win her over.

'Not another teen movie' And 'She's all that'

This is the part in the film where the 'nerd' girl gets transformed. As you can see both girls are wearing similar red dresses.

In this clip, the 'Nerdy' girl that has now been transformed gets taken to a party by the typical 'hot popular guy. These two guys are also both Football Jocks in both the films

'Not another teen movie' and 'She's all that'

Both the girls are drawing/painting pictures of there mothers who in the films have both passed away.

'Not another teen movie' and 'Bring it on'

Both these pictures look very similar, in the films..both girls are having 'cheer leading wars' on who has the best routine.

• These are just a few examples from the film 'Not another teen movie'. Before I learned about intersextuality I hadn't realised that movies do actually 'borrow' ideas from other movies, and I was surprised to what extent some movies go to. Although I  know that 'Not another teen movie' is based on copying other films hence the name, it made me feel quite intrigued when I realised which films they had taken the ideas from. And as a viewer I felt quite proud when i recognised where it was taken from.
