A few days ago, i watched an old movie called "Cruel Intentions" while i'm absent from my school because of my sickness. I enjoyed watching this movie which tell us the reality of teenagers these days. The plot is driven between 3 characters which involves manipulation, seduction and love. They are Kathryn Merteuil, a social perfection which having a bet with her womanizing step brother, Sebastian Valmont, to seduce Annette Hargrove which she has published a manifesto saying that she plans to keep her virginity intact until she falls in love. If Kathryn wins, Sebastian have to give his precious vintage Jaguar to her and if Sebastian wins, he can spend the passionate night with Kathryn as she knows that she's the only girl Sebastian cannot bed. This movie also shows a character, Cecile Caldwell, who used by Kathryn as a revenge to his ex-boyfriend, Court Reynolds, who's now having a little crush to the innocent Cecile. Kathryn promised to turn Cecile into a social perfection while her real intention is to intend Cecile to sleep with as many men as possible thereby destroying her reputation and teaching Court Reynolds a lesson. When Sebastian is having a chemistry with Annette and Annette finally falls for Sebastian but still keeping her defense up.
Sebastian declares that Annette is a hypocrite, waiting for love but refusing to sleep with the guy that loves her. Confused and beaten by Sebastian's logic, Annette relents - but Sebastian, now feeling guilty, refuses her. Heartbroken and embarrassed, Annette flees to her friend's parents' estate. Sebastian tracks her down and professes his love, and they consummate their feelings. Kathryn offers herself to Sebastian the next day, since he has won the bet, but he refuses; his romantic focus is now on Annette. Swayed by Kathryn's threat to ruin Annette's reputation, Sebastian coldly breaks up with Annette and returns to Kathryn. Kathryn, however, now refuses to sleep with him. After Sebastian tells Kathryn that he has arranged for Cecile and Ronald to be together, Kathryn reveals that she has known all along that he was truly in love with Annette, yet she manipulated him to give it up. While Sebastian may have initially won the bet, she made him lose his first true love, and she (Kathryn) does not sleep with "losers." Sebastian realizes his mistake. After trying unsuccessfully to talk to Annette, he sends her his journal, in which he has detailed all his previous "conquests" but written his true feelings for Annette, hoping she will learn the truth for herself and forgive him.
Kathryn however tells Court that Cecile was having an affair with Sebastian. A furious Ronald confronts Sebastian in the middle of the street and a fight ensues. Annette, in search of Sebastian, comes upon the fight and tries to stop it. She is thrown into the way of an oncoming cab. Sebastian pushes her to safety and is hit by the speeding cab himself. Annette rushes to his side. Before he dies, he professes his love for her, and she reciprocates.
(The ending ias the best part) While Kathryn gives a speech at Sebastian's funeral, her fellow students were suddenly started walking outside the chapel. Feeling not respected, Kathryn rushes outside the chapel while she met Cecile who distributes copies of Sebastian's Journal which reveals the truth about Kathryn that this social perfection turns out to be a bitch as well
