Heathers (1989)
The film starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater does resonate with the feelings of teenage outsiders seeking acceptance, which remains a relevant theme today. However, the film’s climax, featuring students blowing up their high school, is no longer appropriate in light of the ongoing issue of real-life school shootings that continue to impact communities across America. The depiction of such a violent act, even if intended to be comedic, would be deemed highly insensitive and offensive in today’s context. The tragic reality of school shootings demands responsible storytelling that avoids trivializing or making light of such devastating events.
