Yup. I went to middle school in the 90s. They did talk exactly like they talked in the movie. None of that scripted crap to "clean up the dialogue". It wasn't acting. And my school was just as diverse. It really could have been about my school and it'd be no different except without it being Catholic. And my choir teacher was just as hyped as Whoopi.She was the best! Shout out to Miss Turner! Like she's on here.

2024-07-25 16:05:13 +0000 UTCYes, some kids really did talk the way these kids did in the film in the 90's. Not all, but some did. I remember them doing it in the schools I went to. Frank Kay, I'm pretty sure that character is a play off of Vanilla Ice, or someone similar. Vanilla Ice is a rapper from the 80s. He's one of these mega stars that had a huge polarizing effect, where you either loved him or hated him. A lot of kids in the 80s and nineties kind of started acting like him, much as Frank Kay does. If not Vanilla Ice, then it would have been similar guys who were big at the time. Likewise, the "hey ho" thing he does with the waving hands was a thing, though I don't know who popularized it. He did it as "Frank Kay, hey ho" as a way of making it his own. I feel like he was also very much a stereotype, though I'm not sure about that. Rita kicked the door in frustration because none of her friends went along with her. I think she felt betrayed. Kicking a door in frustration is something people sometimes do. I believe the idea is that Rita's mother didn't know she was skipping school. There is nothing in the movie that expressly say it, but in the scene during the daytime when all the kids are talking on the street and Rita is sitting at her window watching them--it was probably the weekend. All the kids were there, including the brown noser, and typically, they don't miss classes. That tells me it wasn't a school day. Also, she may not have been skipping school, only that one class. That would mean her mother wouldn't know. Rita's angst didn't bother me because there was a reason for it that wasn't just her being a teenager. It's really hard when you want to do something you're really good at and the person who's supposed to support you won't allow it, especially when it's something that isn't in any way a bad thing. Rita's mother's attitude about singing also explains why when Delores wouldn't allow the class to remain a "bird course," she up and left. If her mother was scaring her off making anything out of anything music oriented, she would feel the class is not only a waste of time, but painful to be in. It would be a constant reminder of the thing you want most of all but can never have. As a kid, though, her pain comes out in the form of contempt and dislike for the teacher who's teaching said out of reach dream. Rita's mother's reaction is a little harder to explain, but it's very much a thing that happens. It's sadly extremely common for parents to view dreams of careers in artsy type things as being silly pipe dreams. Singing, playing an instrument, drawing, acting, writing. A lot of writers, even professional ones who make a lot of money, are often told it's not a real job. A similar thing happens with music and singing, and strangely enough, it doesn't always stop when you make it big. Rita's mother was just afraid she was chasing a dream that, admittedly, most of the time, leads to a life of heartbreak, poverty, and always wishing for what could have been. Great reaction. I knew this one would make you happy.
