The Caste System is mostly practiced in India, however it slowly travelled and made its way to high school. In the 1986 comedy, drama, and romance, “Pretty in Pink”, starring Molly Ringwald as Andie Walsh and Andrew McCarthy as Blane McDonnagh the two main characters face many trials and tribulations in their love for each other in 1980’s high school because of the different social classes the two come from.

The relationship the two main characters share is real and does not seem “Hollywood.” The way the couple acts on screen is very similar to the ways a couple would act in real life and does not give the idea of a perfect relationship. Ringwald and McCarthy are very introverted at the beginning of the relationship and are very open about their feelings towards one another to their own friends, but never truly to each other until their relationship starts to grow. Proof the couple demonstrates couples’ reactions is when Andie says, “I’m sorry for bumming out the night for you.” and Blane said, “You didn’t bum out anything.” This acting style pleased me and gave me the idea the couple had real feelings for each other. The acting style this duo portrays on the big screen is very realistic of a budding relationship and is very deserving of kudos.

Consequently, “Pretty in Pink” was a decent film that did have its hilarious moments and upsetting moments. “Pretty in Pink” is a film that is not my favorite genres, however the acting that was done in the film was very enjoyable to watch and caused for the film to grow on me and become one of my favorite movies. This film is a must see and will be a memorable movie to watch and can be relatable to anyone in high school and the older generations’ high school
