I watched Harriet the spy and there goes the scene when she cant take any insult anymore. I love when Harriet making people who made her life miserable a lot more miserable. Like "karma" or etc...
I love that revenge scene.... revenge can be so sweet........
"I love that revenge scene.... revenge can be so sweet........"
Revenge is also the way of an immature mind and can lead to even more retaliation in an escalating situation. It's what usually fuels feuds. And bear in mind that by writing all that about the other kids, she brought it all on herself. As a spy, she should have at least had the common sense to use a cypher of some kind.

What you said was true but um, it's just a kids movie. Don't read too much into it.

She didn't do anything to Rachel that we could see, but she pulled a stick from Pinky's sculpture which caused it to collapse, ran Carrie's bra up the flag pole out front, and that's all that I can really think of for corrections and additions.
Msg I'm replying to:
Marion - Said something nasty about her father not seeing her because he doesn't love her, when in actual fact he's in Amsterdam, for some reason
Rachel - cant remember
Pinky Whitehead - knocked over one of his sculptures
Laura Peters - cut her butt length hair off so it was around shoulder length (WAY over the line - I'd never forgive anyone who did that s--- to me)
Janie - messed up her science experiemnt
Sport - posted up pictures around the school of him dressed up as a housemaid
Carrie Andrews - cant remember, I think she ran her bra up the flagpole
Beth Allen something or other - vandalised her locker
Can't remember much else, my memory is s---e, I didnt like this fiulm that much at all

In case you missed it, she wasn't actually a spy.
shareI don't care. Harriet got them good. Especially that little bitch Marion. Everybody overreacted to her writings, when actually they should have never touched that notebook to begin with. It was private and everybody's got opinions on everybody. They can't all be sweet and nice.
Personally I loved it when she put Marion in her place. Twice. First she slapped that little bitch. Next when she told her all that stuff about her father. I was soo happy. In your face!
Sorry but I've had too many Marions in my life. Like too many, since I'm a child. I'm an adult and there's still Marions in my life. And unfortunately that's the only way to shut them up. With the truth.

I AGREE 100% ! marion was such a little h o bag hariett had the right to say that to her after all the bi tch y things marion did. And i wanted to push marion out the window when she goes 'Well that wasnt very dignified' ummm are you kidding me you stole someones private notebook and read all her personal thoughts out loud to turn all her friends against her. Is that dignified? No , marion it is not, so shove it.

Yeah. I mean why would you even disrespect Harriet's privacy. If I were Marion, I would leave Harriet alone but don't worry. It's just a movie.
Carissa
I love the paint slap, when Harriet left a perfectly shaped blue handprint on Marion's face in art class.
shareYeah! LOL. That was funny.

i l.o.v.e.d. the slap! that was the best! and the one with sport in the maid outfit? a.w.e.s.o.m.e. ... the only i WOULD NEVER do if put in her place were

a) it could WAY to easily get traced to you (ny teachers i mean...i wouldnt care about lil maid Marion lol)

Really? In the States students switch classes? In the Philippins we only stay in one classroom but the teachers go from one room to another just to teach.
Carissa
ironically, laura peters was in the 2004 movie, Mean girls. . .as, a mean girl. . .but not really an important character
P:CE
I wouldn't spill paint on people or read their private stuff even if it is their notebooks. It was naughty that Rachel spilled blue paint on Harriet and she lied about how it was an accident. She did it purpose. I would have told the teacher on her. I kicked students' butts when I was in middle school because they were harassed me. One of my teachers refused to do something about it. I got almost about every punishment that the school had to offer. I harassed one of my classmates back when I was in elementary school because he harassed me first and I wrote him two love messages. My mom got a phone call from my teacher about it.
sharethe revenge scene is so good.
ive been looking for the dvd for a LONG time because my VHS player is broken and i finally found it last night at Borders for ten bucks. i watched it and it was better than i remembered. When i watch watching it, it seemed sort of dark for a Nick Film...After those little s spill paint ALL OVER HER TWICE and she freaks out and jumps in the bath, i could TOTALLY see her herself. I was almost surprised when she didnt even though i have seen this movie about 2 billion times since it came out. During the part in the movie when i expected her to die, i kept thinking of when Miranda* kills herself in Pretty persuasion.
*I might have the name wrong. havent watched that in a while. i could look it up, but its really not worth it.

So your saying that she can't write down her own personal opinions? And she didn't envy Marion. Maybe she did envy her when she was the editor of the 6th grade newspaper. She did become the editor at the end.

The revenge scene is one of the best scenes in the movie.
First off, regardless of what Harriet said, I wish a bitch WOULD pour blue paint in my hair. Did you see Harriet's face when Marion did that! She's lucky all she got was a slap! You do not pour paint in someone's hair.
Secondly, although cutting Laura's hair was pretty bad, I love Harriet's face when Laura turns around and Harriet has this look on her face like "what bitch? you got somethin to say?"
Oh and I always cheer after the bathroom scene with Marion. Harriet again put her in her place. And when she pushed Rachael and Laura and said "MOVE!" omg, love love love it.
Sometimes you gotta let people have a taste of their own medicine so that they can shut up!

does anyone here have a book of Harriet the spy?
Carissa
I felt sorry for Laura.
She was the one least involved in the bullying of Harriet and she got it the worst.

The revenge scene is what I watch this movie for, that was some sweet devious plotting by Harriet. The only thing I feel went to far was the hair cutting, I would have put someone in a coma for doing that to me and would never forgive them. Plus like others have said it was to easy to trace back to her. I thought knocking over the sculpture, the bra up the flag pole and ruining the chemistry experiment was pretty weak though; she should have done something much worse than that especially to her apparent best friend. Maybe if it was done during the science fair and she sabotaged it while it was being judged.

haha, that's funny that so many say she went too far with the hair cutting thing. i actually think she went too lightly on everyone else. the marion thing needed to be said, someone needed to put her in her place with her so-called perfect life. those douches had no right to read her private journal and they took their retaliation wayyyyyyyyy too far. Hello, they stalked her, ostracized her completely from her peers and best friends, and they poured paint on her while basically attacking her with paper towels. That scene always pisses me off so much, but I also welcome it because I know the most awesome revenge scene is coming up. people say that eye for an eye leads to blindness, but if i realized that i was one of those kids in the herd, i would feel so guilty for putting a little girl through all of that stuff...if i was one of the ones she got back, i would feel like i was appropriately put in my place.

I feel Harriet so had the right for her revenge. Those kids were just plain mean to her! Even her best friends totally ditched her after the journal was read; they didn't even let her explain or say she didn't realize how hurtful those comments could be. Plus I feel that was a total violation of Harriet's privacy to read her journal out loud. She obviously cared about her best friends a lot and I think they weren't that great of friends to allow their entire class to continually pick on her and ridicule her for weeks. It'd have been nice if they had stood up for her after a while and said "Look, her comments were wrong and mean, but she didn't mean for us to see them. We're being even worse to her now and we should just leave her be." So I love the revenge scene but I do think the hair cutting was a bit overboard. The comments to Marion were totally deserved though; Marion was the one who read her journal aloud and turned the whole class against her. I think the locker one was really lame though; like that girl would really care that much. The knocking down of the kids popsicle stick building was good though; imagine how long it'd taken him to build it!
shareMy mom was watching it with me today and said that Laura got the worst punishment. Even Harriet telling Marion her father doesn't love her wasn't as big to her as Laura getting her hair cut off.

Beth Ellen loved the pictures on her locker, though. Harriet comments how she always looks like she's going to cry, so she wanted to make her do so by ruining the things she loved so dearly.
She didn't do anything to the Boy with the Purple Socks in the movie. But, with Rachel, she was the one to tell her that nobody liked her, and they only hung around her because of her mom's cake. They didn't show it actually happening, but Rachel remarks later on about how someone told her that, and it was Harriet in the book.
I think the worst revenge one was Carrie's bra on the flagpole. The boys in her class seemed to love it, why would she care about her bra being up there? She didn't seem to mind mentioning playing "spin the bottle" and other various sexual-themed quotes from her.
they got what they deserved. Did they forget, that as marion read out everything that everyone was laughing and by laughing agreeing with/escalating/highlighting everything harriet wrote? Everything that was the truth anyway?
and people like marion just walk around and never get put in their place. At least not until she wastes blue paint on anyone.
Wow. Are we living in a society so shallow where cutting someone's hair is worse than an assault of psychological torment about troubling personal issues? Who the hell cares if you get your hair cut? People pay to get their hair cut. It is easily fixable. Marion might need counselling.
Jeeze.

I was going to say. I can't believe people are saying Laura got it the worst. Hair grows back. What Harriet did to Marion was beyond cruel. That's probably why Marion was so mean: because she was insecure about her father. Harriet probably KNEW it would cut her deep and she did it anyway. That's WHY she did it. I'm not saying Marion's a saint; she was cruel too. I just don't see how you can compare cutting someone's hair to telling someone her father doesn't love her and that's why he doesn't live at home.
Furthermore, I don't think you're supposed to sympathize with Harriet in that scene. For me, that's when the tone of the "revenge montage" changes. Before that, it's really funny with Laura's hair, Beth Ellen's locker, Carrie's bra (etc.) but when the scene with Marion happens, I think the movie's telling us Harriet's gone too far. You just don't do that to someone. I also find the scene with Sport very haunting too. When she's hanging up the pictures and turns and he's just standing there staring at her. And that's when the guilt hits her, I think.
