Okay, here's an idea, watch the Swedish film "Fucking Åmål" (under the title of "Show Me Love" at rental stores, such as Hollywood Video) today. No, it's not what you think, even if the alternate title is "Show Me Love." It's about this girl, Agnes, with chocolate brown hair and eyes who's new in school and feels left out and not beautiful, even though she is, and about this blond, pale bombshell named Elin who is too cool for everything and too hot for everyone? And definitely enjoys her popularity.
And the thing is, watching them, it looks like Rosalie, that is Elin, is all in charge, and Bella, that is Agnes, is always pining and indecisive, but that last scene in the bathroom (again, not what you're thinking) shows the vulnerable Elin and the self-assured Agnes that defines the relationship between the two girls.
And when Elin opens up that door after that seven seconds in Hell? And faces down everyone's censure? And casts aside her need to be like and liked by everyone?
You've just got to see this film.
