If I ever become a professor (haha grad school /money /student loans/ academia/ academic life/life- life /qualifying), I’d make my students watch Clueless because everytime I see something from it, I realize it is one of the best movies ever for subtle social commentary. Language as a structural concept that changes and adapts from context to context, ie gif below? Check. No RSVP on the statue of liberty, ergo, honoring the struggles of immigrants who make this country? Check. Talking about the El Salvadorian conflict when Cher is all like, omg, your mexican? Check. The suspicion of broad, white male literature and the social status it holds? Check. Consumerism as an answer for a vast empty whole? Check. Socio-economic differences? Check. 

This movie. This fucking movie. 

OK, and yes, absolutely, but let’s give Jane Austen some credit here.
