Most people have discovered revelations by undergoing an experience that made them realize what may be best for his/her own benefit. In the movie Fox Fire, Angelina Joli played a character named Legs, a revealer in most situations, where she influenced a group of high school girls to revolt against their teacher. The issue was about a high school girl who was sexually harassed by her teacher during school detention hours. Legs revealed to the girls that it was not right for a man, their teacher, to touch a student in a way she did not want to be touched. She tried and successfully persuaded the girls to fight against their teacher. The teenage girls formed an unlikely bond after the plot of revenge. In a particular scene, the girls attacked the teacher by setting him up, with the girl who had detention, in his classroom. The girls allowed the teacher to touch her, the teacher not knowing that the girls were outside the classroom door, ready to catch him in the act. Each girl had a chance to beat the teacher up, though there was one girl, named Maddy, who was hesitant get involved in the scheme. Legs told Maddy “don't take any shit” after the teacher told her not to do anything towards him. Between a student and a teacher, the teacher is superior than the student and for the reason that Maddy obeyed his command showed how much she resisted to fight him because ‘he told her not to’.
The revelation trope found in Foxfire was when the certain girls resisted against the truth about their teacher. A few girls did not get involved to the scheme of hurting the teachers, preventing themselves from getting in trouble, while others did not want to believe the sexual harassment was the truth. Legs, the rebel – prophet, took the initiative to try to motivate the girls to fight back the teacher to demand self respect, that all women need to unite and fight the power, the teacher that is. The girls eventually fought against the teacher, which gained them their respect, but their wild ways began to get out of control. The Message was to fight the superior in order to save the girl from being harassed again.
Similar to the movie The Matrix, Morpheus persuades Neo, a new member of the real world, to fight the power of the Agents in the matrix and the computer robots of the real world. In order for Neo to do this, he has to complete different obstacles to obtain his strength to fight the power. Both Morpheus and Legs, from Foxfire, succeed in influencing their acquaintance(s) to fight the power.
