    this movie is literally the definition of one of those iconic wattpad y/n fanfictions. you've got the 4'2" brown hair, blue eyes, messy bun, "guys don't fight this isn't you!" main character and her 8'7" bad boy/delinquent, older than her, drives a motorcycle, probably should go to therapy for anger issues, harry styles-esque love interest. it could not get more cliche

      That's not all he did, Danny didn't include the whole thing. He dressed up in a skirt to embarass himself in front of the class to get Elle to forgive him.
      It's still NOT a good message that Elle accepted a date from a guy who groped her, but it's more than an I'm Sorry note.

We constantly see Noah being aggressive throughout the movie and I wouldn't have been shocked if he hit Elle at some point in a fit of rage (like during the car scene).

      Not really when you realize it was probably just because he thought it'd be gross for his brother and best friend to date. They were kids when they made the rules and he didn't act like the rule was made out of concern. He said that he's never talk to her again, you wouldn't say that if you were actually concern about your friend being in a toxic situation. Every character in the movie sucked honestly except elle but she was extremely flat for a main character.

      if a friend of mine told me that they had feelings for my sister i would just stay out of it. because i have no opinion on who my sister dates unless she's in danger. i do not give a fuck who she fucks and i think only the absolute weirdest people on the planet would concern themselves with that. the only way that i would ever insert myself into someone else's sex life is to prevent them from being hurt.
      i would totally be behind Lee if the reason he was against their relationship was for the sake of Elle's safety due to Noah's anger issues, but that wasn't the case. he literally said that the reason he didn't want them together was because Elle was "his", and not Noah's. he was viewing and describing her as property. and if that behavior is something you support then please re-evaluate your moral code. and if you have siblings please leave them the fuck ALONE.

      @jaymercer4692 2 роки тому +384

      Definitely better but I'm not sure about Elle throwing herself at Lee and going to therapy. I think that would make her character quite empty and promote the idea that there's something wrong with someone mentally if they end up in an abusive relationship. That is sometimes true but also it comes down to the manipulation of an abuser. Perhaps the film could have took a dark turn and depict domestic abuse quite graphically but accurately. I'm not certain what would be best in terms of Lee's role but I agree Noah facing the consequences of his actions and Elle learning would be a much better outcome. Dying seems to say that death is an appropriate form of justice rather than reformation or that death from a perpetrator can help a victim move on, which I don't think is a helpful or productive message but prison seems fitting.
      I suppose the issue is that it's a difficult story to write and unless it is genuinely well done, it wont sell. To accurately but also sensitively depict real world crimes is a very fine line and requires not just excellent writers but also very good actors. No matter how crap this is, I imagine it would do well enough to make some money from an American audience.

Not only because he's afraid of loosing his friend but for her physical safety. Basically this movie should have been a psychological horror.

    Aside from Noah, Lee is also extremely creepy.
    They could have made his disapproval of Noah dating Elle be about caring about her well-being because he knows his brother is an abusive asshole. But instead it boiled down to "you were the one thing I had that Noah didn't have"; like it's a rivalry game of who gets to own Elle as if she's an object.

      Right, they make it seem like we're supposed to believe he would hurt anyone but her, "oh look he's so protective!" When in reality, a man with a violent streak like Noah's isn't going to be like "oh but this person is off limits." He clearly has serious anger management issues, and a relationship won't just make that go away. Lee didn't just not want El dating his brother because it'd be weird, he didn't want her dating someone so violent and toxic.

    The scene where Noah slams his fist on the car and yells at Elle to get in always made me feel sick to my gut. And the fact that the movie just disregarded it and Elle got in the car anyway just to fuck him an hour later was so incredibly concerning to me. In a single scene, this film has taught young girls that if an angry guy who has just been in a physical altercation yells at you to get in his car, you just should, cuz he probably just wants to take you to a romantic secret place and have sex with you. It’s such a dangerous message and I was so disappointed that the opportunity to teach young people how to spot red flags was THERE and they chose to do the exact opposite. And combined with Noah’s behaviour throughout the rest of the movie and the general response to his character from fans, it paints a pretty scary fucking story

      I watched this movie when it first came out. I was still young then and I'm ashamed to say that I liked it and was obsessed with it for so long. How could I have been so blind? I even liked the 2nd movie when it came out. Mostly because of Marco but I now hate him too. Anyway by the time I became an adult, I had watched a whole bunch of reactions on UA-cam just like this one completely slandering this movie and that's how I came to finally understand. This movie is terrible and sends so many bad messages to young girls. Messages that I took to heart, still being the young girl that I was and I ran with them. I had already experienced abusive relationships before I saw this movie but this movie didn't exactly help me with learning my lesson about trusting and dating the wrong men. I think it made it worse. Cause again this movie reinforced in my little mind that this stuff was normal. By the time the 3rd one came out not too long ago I was an adult and had finally learned my lesson. My boyfriend is not into romance movies like I am so he never saw any of the Kissing Booths. He never even heard of them despite having Netflix until I told him. I didn't give him any details and watched the first one with him to make him see. Immediately he thought the same as everyone else. Cringey, cliche and bad messages for young girls about relationships AND friendships. Then I made him suffer through the 2nd one with me that was a sh*tshow. Rachel was the best part of it even though she was stupid for being with someone like Lee. Then we both suffered through the 3rd one together when it first came out and we did it out of sheer curiosity. "How could they possibly make this story any worse?" Uggggggggggggh. Honestly he and I are kind of on the fence about whether or not we should let our children watch these movies, especially our daughters. I definitely intend to warn my children about this movie and tell them to not think that any of what is going on in the movie is a good thing. Hopefully they listen to me. And honestly hopefully we can all watch together so we can talk afterwards.

    I said this in another Kissing Booth review:
    Lee immediately thinking that Elle's cut came from his brother hitting her is a terrible sign. That his first thought is that his brother would do that to a girl he has known for most of his life shows how Lee views his brother's violent tendencies. If your bff thinks his own brother is capable of doing (and likely to do) that, take that as an important warning about the guy you are romancing

      Agreed. Not to mention that with how Noah has acted throughout this movie, I don’t find it at all unreasonable that Lee would immediately believe without question that Noah is abusing Elle.
      Also, in my opinion at least, that should’ve probably shown Elle that dating Noah is an absolutely horrid decision. It’s one thing that outside sources have been giving her the signs to press the eject button on this relationship, but one that specifically came from her bestie since she was a child? Girl, open your fucking eyes.
      For this entire movie Elle was essentially going, “He is an entire garbage truck of red flags, but good thing I’m wearing my rose tinted glasses”

    It's horrible too how Noah's anger is treated as completely normal and romantic. The fact that Lee saw a cut on her face, IMMEDIATELY assumed Noah had done it, and that was a COMPLETELY BELIEVABLE assumption from what we'd seen of Noah implies that maybe he wanted to keep her away from Noah because he genuinely believed Noah could/would be physically violent towards his partner. I know these movies don't go deep, but it just feels so irresponsible to release this to teens as a romance when it reads more like a slow burn horror movie with Elle as a future victim.

It clearly wasn't just about looks either so I got worried, I tried to explain to her the clear red flags she shouldn't ignore in real life but man, it kind of scared me ngl. Writers should be A LOT more careful with violent characters in movies made for kids and teens. Not saying there shouldn't be any violence, but we should be aware of the way they're presented / viewed / how they're redeemed etc.

      You said it all perfectly except with Elle. She is not an abuser but she is not innocent. Remember, she cheated on Noah. And she did because she THOUGHT he was cheating on her. And instead of trusting him or trying to work through her feelings through the conflict with Noah, she pushed him away and then started an emotional affair with another guy which culminated in her kissing him. In front of thousands of people. And the whole internet. Then she proceeded to continue spending time with the guy she cheated on Noah with, leading him on in the process while also disrespecting her relationship with Noah by letting him seduce her as well as provoke Noah. Never thought I'd say this but Noah changed for the better as the movies went on. Elle demanded 2 important things of him when they got together. No more fighting and no more telling her what to do. And he complied. Aside from the scuffle with Lee at the end of 1st movie he never fought anyone again, not even the guy who kissed Elle and then actively tried to steal her from him. And he stopped controlling her life, the only thing he ever asked of her was to not let Marco back into their lives. While Elle cheated on Noah and then still continued an emotional affair with the same guy and allowed him to sabotage their relationship, blaming Noah for all of that, all while prioritizing a friendship with a guy who definitely just wants to control her. Noah got better, Elle got worse and Lee just stayed the same selfish, whiny brat he was in the beginning.

    The fact that Lee warns elle saying, "you can't date my brother" and then when he catches them the first thing he assumes is that she's being abused is not a great thing to show in a movie where Elle eventually gets together with Noah? Like, this is a blueprint for teenage girls to find abusive behavior romantic. Yikes, Scoob.
    edit: I understand it was based on a story by a very young writer, but the production team and editors are there for those things. I also understand this movie is important to a lot of people. It just feels like confusing romance and controlling, aggressive relationships is far too common in media aimed at young people.

    • @nutellacelery8830
      @nutellacelery8830 2 роки тому +81

      I don't think so. I think Lee is worried about his brother's violent behaviour but I don't think he think that he abuses his girlfriend. The whole "You can't date my brother" thing was probably because he thought the concept would be gross, he never seems like he's actually concerned that Elle would be hurt. He doesn't try to warn her or anything and says he'll never talk to her again if she hooks up with him. That's not how you react if you're worried your friend is gonna be abused. The assumption thing is concerning but considering Noah has been violent throughout the movie and even to Lee, it's not that far fetched to think that he was just worried because Noah is just a typically violent person.

    Dude, the trope of violent guy and the girl who calms him down was always kinda off with me. It seems to romanise abusive relationships. Like, in regular abusive relationships, victims don’t think of themselves as victims, but as good people helping out a troubled individual aka their abuser. They think themselves as the only ones who can help their abuser and become trapped in their relationship. The victim can’t leave easily because the abuser would threaten their own life or the lives of others if the victim leaves.
    The victim thinks they still have power because they can calm the abuser down, but really they’re just following the cycle of abuse.
    Get abused -> Get apology -> Forgive them -> repeat
    The trope kinda romanize this concept, but ignoring the abuse part.

It's dangerous to value characters like that, like Hardin Scott or Christian Grey, who play the card of tortured guys who just need love when in reality they need therapy. Because it sends a very dangerous message (not just for young people). It's not okay to be abusive, in any situation, even if it's for love

    It's so, so weird to see Elordi be the exact same character than in Euphoria with violent, possessive impulse that are incredibly scary BUT be treated as a dreamboat by the movie when he clearly has so many issues that he should be taken care of instead of getting a gf ?

    This reminded me SO much of all the stories I would read as a teen on wattpad. This screamed "And my mom sold me to the alpha king of wolf kingdom" male love interested to me. Low and behold this was originally a wattpad story. For those who don't know, yes absolutely all these things are red flags. However there was a section of wattpad filled with teen girls drooling over fictional men who would treat you like this. I was apart of that section of wattpad. As a teen I didn't register these things are red flags, I had been conditioned into thinking it was hot. I and I am sure many others have grown up, moved on, and become PAINFULLY aware of how dump and naïve they once were.

      wattpad is ruining their own reputation at this point. I've been on the app for four years now and I've always avoided the "big name" books like the plague. But one time I got curious and read a random popular book I could find and it was literally like a ten-year-old had written it. And everyone was praising it! Like?? I just don't understand. Why put THAT on your front page? There *are* some genuinely good writers on there, but they're overlooked.

      @@bumbabees FR. I’ve read some really good books on there, but I only found them because I was reading on another site (tapas) first. I don’t go on that app because the shit I see on there genuinely scares me. I was seriously considering posting on wattpad before, but I’m glad I didn’t because I don’t think that would get me anywhere if they keep advertising REALLY uncomfortable content, a large amount of amazing authors would go missed because their content isn’t shit like this.

      You weren't dumb in the slightest IMO, you were a developing brain that was encultured around a culture with some issues, that happens to all kinds of bright people : ). Your brain learns from its environment, you can't help that really. I'm glad your idea of a healthy relationship is has evolved as you got older, and hopefully you can use your experiences there to help the young people learn how they can be respectful parners with good boundaries and empathy
