I need this English sentence translated to Dutch, please: While every other social and ethnic group is deemed off-limits to filmmakers, one remains a target for cheap laughs: Preppies. From "Animal House" and "Caddyshack" ("the slobs versus the snobs") to John Hughes and Savage Steve Holland, to more serious fare like "Six Degrees Of Separation," filmmakers have availed themselves of this last group of people they can target with a broad brush of easy scorn.Which is one reason why Whit Stillman's debut film, "Metropolitan," is so refreshing. By taking a more sympathetic, inside look at a group of affluent East Side Manhattanites home from college, Stillman makes a case for an underlying core of goodness beneath the Thurston-and-Lovey veneers.Making the foray into their world for us is Tom Townsend (Edward Clements), literally and figuratively a red-headed stepchild in this world of privilege, having little money (his big secret, which he guards carefully with the help of mass transit, is that he lives on the West Side) and a defensiveness about his place in high society he manifests by adopting the stance of a disapproving socialist, though in reality he is more than a little too shallow to feel anything that deeply.The truth of Townsend is immediately obvious to members of an upscale social set that call themselves the Sally Fowler Rat Pack, but they take him in anyway because he knows their world and seems like a good audience.

Terwijl elke andere sociale en etnische groep tot het domein van de filmmakers wordt gerekend, blijft één groep een doelwit voor goedkope lachertjes: de preppies. Van 'Animal House' en 'Caddyshack' ('de sloddervossen tegen de snobs') tot John Hughes en Savage Steve Holland, en serieuzere werken als 'Zesgradenscheiding', hebben filmmakers gebruik gemaakt van deze laatste groep mensen die ze met een brede waaier van gemakkelijke minachting kunnen bestoken.Wat een van de redenen is waarom Whit Stillmans debuutfilm, 'Metropolitan', zo verfrissend is. Door een meer sympathieke, persoonlijke blik te werpen op een groep welvarende inwoners van East Side Manhattan in de buurt van hun school, pleit Stillman voor een onderliggende kern van goedheid onder het venijn van Thurston-en-Liefje.
