While this leaves out the further Chandler stands in front of the bathroom mirror, sipping some water to wash her mouth out. That person could be me.”. Chandler is meant to be the physical embodiment of that. One kid says he’d give it to his dad, whose a broker. Admittedly, I think it’s kind of weird, but within the context of their relationship, it’s normal for them. She doesn’t have to worry about being vulnerable or submitting to someone else’s power here - she’s still the one in charge. –> This mishandling of Chandler is a major flaw and entirely changes the message the musical gives off. One of my least favorite conversations about Heathers is whenever anyone compares it to Mean Girls. I got Heather Duke but I'm actually more Heather McNamara... OMG YES I’M HEATHER MCNAMARA. her bargaining for something. Like scarves. Essentially, there are a lot of perks gained from being able to go to college parties over high school ones. Heather McNamaras rise up (fr though she's so much like me), I got Heather McNamara, god can I relate to her so much irl. Once again, she is powerless here. the parents of these kids are still paying their tuition most likely, but that After all, no one wants to get cast as Heather Chandler, die like a quarter of the way through the musical, and then have nothing else to do for the rest of the show. Also, if Chandler is given even just one moment in the TV series where we see her being weak and outmatched or threatened, that would already be ten times better for her character than what we get in the musical. She snobbily remarks, “This is an excellent forgery. Veronica’s first convo with the Heathers takes place in the bathroom. It’s a clear establishment of her bitter and jaded nature. He and Veronica catch the other’s gaze and are checking each other out, until Veronica bumps into Betty.
Knowing that they already have a table set up, this seems a bit unnecessary and just meant to belittle Duke, keeping her in her place. Now, Movie Chandler is also clearly a bully, but we’ve also noted her variance in tactics, her social intelligence, and the difference in presentation of her smugness/condescension towards others. Musical Chandler is so shrill and over the top hammy, you would think they were trying to write her more as Regina George or Chanel Oberlin. May 27, 2020 - Explore s t a r 's board "Musical Heathers", followed by 138 people on Pinterest. “Corn. However, they still have to answer her poll question and seem like they tolerate her. We don’t really learn anything new about Chandler herself, and the number is meant to be more a display of how seductive the Heathers are.
Movie Chandler only threatened this after Veronica puked on her and stormed out of the party. Here, JD and Chandler don’t exchange a single conversation together before she kicks the bucket. Veronica defends the Heathers from their teacher by forging a hall pass, which immediately gets Chandler’s attention. Likes a lot of stuff. She’s looking for anyway to get out, as soon as possible.
One of my biggest pet peeves as a writer is assuming that a character having more screen time = having more depth, personality and development. If you actually know what you’re doing, you can express of a tragic foreshadowing moment that gets ignored by the rest of the cast. And Heather Duke isn’t safe from it. out a lot. What’s my thanks?
Chandler also mocks Veronica being poor, which is strange, In contrast, Veronica refuses to sleep with Brad, much to Chandler’s dismay. I think this a good time to mention that I feel the musical tries to build up Heather Chandler as this legendary character that everyone will call back to (hence why she’s “a mythic bitch”). As Mac explains who he is, Chandler is glaring over at Veronica, eyebrow raised, as if to ask “really? Chandler, but it’s such a weird detail the musical decided to change.
The boys seem And then Chandler drops her most iconic line: “Fuck me gently with a chainsaw. What made Heather Chandler work so well as a character in the movie was how sparingly she was used. The intent was to have a character be so openly awful a human being that’s actually laughable and quotable. Also, look at how blue is more prominent here than red. She also doesn’t seem mad at seeing Veronica inside of her house, so it’s safe to assume Veronica has come over a couple of times when Chandler was still sleeping. On “The Me Inside of Me”: There was a sad irony in the suicide letter in the movie - because while JD and Veronica didn’t know it, Chandler didn’t like herself. She hardly raises her voice, and yet it still oozes with irritation and hostility. (Salty Side Note: Musical Chandler can lure everyone she wants to her candy store, but it doesn’t change the fact that she’s the diet version of Sharpay Evans, whom I’m pretty sure was supposed to be based off of HER, look i never said i wouldn’t be biased). All of this done to make us purposefully “hate” Chandler to the point of actually wanting her dead. But I’ll get into this a bit later when we talk about the party. Veronica’s crush on him. They might not know about Chandler’s insecurities, but they know they have her, hook, line and sinker. But this backfires entirely on the musical. Yes, just one, because that is literally all that we need. that they’re only laughing because they have to (when they Why the demonstration of power? Chandler angrily confronts Veronica outside.
Musical Chandler puts no pressure on Veronica to “behave” so to speak at To recap thus far: Movie Chandler is composed and in control. here instead of Mac, who said it while in the cafeteria. Even trying to compare it to her appearance in Veronica’s dreams is laughable because there’s nothing new or interesting to say about it. Her next ghost appearance comes following JD’s “promise” to stop the other killings. Veronica didn’t just mess up here, she completely screwed Chandler over. “Grow up. moment to remember that Chandler isn’t just taking Veronica to a party - it’s That’s what matters. Sure, you could argue that the shot is trying to build up Chandler as a major figure in the story, but again, the most important take away here is the color red. To put it simply, it feels like leaves out the mocking of Heather Duke. Movie: Chandler wakes up surprised to see Veronica and JD in her bedroom. Relishes power and wields it like a scalpel-- no fear, no patience, no mercy. It’s a pretty quiet scene all things considered (admittedly, there is the very hammy part in which “Cornnuts” is dubbed into the scene, which I think would have been better cut). We cut to the bathroom scene, where about ten seconds in, she tells Duke to “Grow up” because “Bullimia is so ‘87″ And to contrast Veronica’s sign of kindness, she taunts Duke: “Let’s take another look at today’s lunch.” All of this said in the snobbiest yet most composed tone of voice you could imagine for a popular girl. However, Veronica sees through her words, commenting “You’re beautiful” and storms off with Chandler in pursuit. But if we have to see Veronica join the Heathers, that means we’re essentially going through two status quos right at the beginning of the story - one in which she is unpopular and only has one friend that is mostly made fun of, and another where she is super popular and a part of the Heathers. David assures Chandler that they’ll “eventually” get back Nuuuuuts!” Chandler cries in Veronica’s arms, before dramatically falling to the floor to her death. Chandler seems less freaked out by JD being there, and more suspicious that she thinks JD and Veronica are dating now, especially as a result of last night’s falling out. Who knew? Her irritation continues to grow as Chandler watches Duke clean out her locker, getting touchy over her stuff. And boiled down to one small, solitary concept, I think this line is the reason they wanted to keep Chandler in the musical for as much as they could (well, besides not wanting to make an actress sit out for most of the show, but that’s a different conversation). Filed under heathers heather chandler heathers the movie heathers the musical heathers crit. If you really listen to her tone, you can tell just how done she is with Veronica and her “reindeer games”. Who are you?” And throughout the scene, she continues to make remarks to Veronica in the most over the top, snobbish way (”You’re a greasy nobody, but you have good bone structure”), and seizes control of Veronica’s transformation into one of the cool kids via the teen movie makeover. Both are petty, mean girls, but as we’ll see, movie Chandler isn’t a
