Flipped: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Bryce's grandfather, Chet Duncan.

* [[Courtly Love]]: Bryce and Julie never even kiss although they are only in seventh grade when the story ends.

* [[Everything's Better ~~With~~ Chickens]]: Juli's pet chickens.

* [[Everything's Better with Chickens]]: Juli's pet chickens.

* [[First Kiss]]: Juli is convinced that Bryce is carrying her first kiss. Bryce would beg to differ...then {{spoiler|attempts to give her exactly what she wants near the end}}.

* [[Genki Girl]]: Arguably, Juli during a couple of scenes in their second grade. By the time the main story starts she's grown up.

Line 28:

** Bryce's father, Rick/Steven (his name was changed for the film) is a petty jerk completely caught up with surface appearances.

** Bryce's friend Garrett, who has no problems betraying Bryce, or ditching him when he becomes a social pariah. Not surprisingly, Garrett and Bryce's father ended up shaping Bryce's views on Juli, which is why he's initially so cold towards her.

* [[Jerk ~~With~~ a Heart of Gold]]: Bryce. On the surface he's detached, paranoid, and at times, outright manipulative of others. But he's a product of his environment, and at the core of it, really isn't that bad.

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Bryce. On the surface he's detached, paranoid, and at times, outright manipulative of others. But he's a product of his environment, and at the core of it, really isn't that bad.

* [[Kidanova]]: Played with. Bryce has lots of girl's pining after him and he's ''very'' aware of it. He's also more or less completely uninterested, and only uses Shelly/Sherry to keep Juli at bay.

** Also justified, at least within the film, where we see that Bryce is in very good shape for a teenager, and is a known sports player in school, along with being cleancut and good-looking.

* [[Literally Loving Thy Neighbor]]: Bryce moves in right across the street from Julie. She sees him and decides that he's walking around with her first kiss.

* [[Love At First Sight]]: For Juli anyway.

* [[No Social Skills]]: Juli early on, what with barging into the Loskis' moving van, [[Stalker ~~With~~ a Crush|following Bryce everywhere]], ambushing him at school, and [[Flat What|sniffing his hair]] in class, the girl does not have the best grasp on social niceties.

* [[No Social Skills]]: Juli early on, what with barging into the Loskis' moving van, [[Stalker with a Crush|following Bryce everywhere]], ambushing him at school, and [[Flat What|sniffing his hair]] in class, the girl does not have the best grasp on social niceties.

* [[Puppy Love]]: The basic premise.

* [[Rashomon Style]]: Shows the events in the movie and book from the perspectives of both Bryce and Juli, which are quite different, especially at the start.

Line 41:

** Actually also played straight. After getting over her pining for Bryce, Juli actually comes to learn that she really knows little to nothing about Bryce as the two never had a ''real'' conversation. It wasn't until Bryce attempted to make amends for his previous callousness that the two actually started to bond.

* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Bryce. He's obsessed with blending at school, making sure that no one realizes how bad the situation at home is, and remaining completely under the radar, all while covering how badly ''repressed'' he is. An interesting variation as he looks like a Type B to the outside world, but is actually far more of a Type A. There's a lot going on there; he just doesn't like to show it.

* [[Stalker ~~With~~ a Crush]]: Juli acts a lot like one early on. She later starts to grow out of it; unfortunately, Bryce still remembers her this way.

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Juli acts a lot like one early on. She later starts to grow out of it; unfortunately, Bryce still remembers her this way.

** [[Stalking Is Love]]: Juli's following of Bryce is never portrayed as anything other than cute; then again, she was in the second grade.

* [[Tomboy]]: Julie will climb a tree, own chickens and tame her yard.
