Supplies Birthday Party Around Town supplies birthday party Information
Its seems as if American culture is obsessed with sex. From music videos to
commercials to teen movies: one cannot turn on his television without seeing a
scantily clad woman or two people engaging in some type of foreplay. Even on
game shows there is commonly a female co-host who wears next to nothing.
Moreover, besides a pornographic movie or a special on HBO, one can find more
than enough sex in a teen movie. These films contain teenage sex symbols who
cannot act more than the "common man." Yet, it seems as if these movies are
quite popular. They more often than not reach the rank of top selling movie at
the box-office. Their success illustrates much about our society- we want to see
sex and cannot get enough.
There are several formulaic characteristics of
every teen movie. All of these films involve two teenagers of the opposite sex
who "fall in love" with each other and describe their constant struggles in high
school. Usually, the two lovers are extremely different from each other. Many
times, one is popular and the other is a pariah or there are racial differences.
The dating between these two individuals usually begins when one of their
friends makes a malicious bet (in order to mock the unpopular teenager). The
relationship is considered a joke until the two teenagers actually "fall in
love." The movie climaxes when the unpopular youth realizes that a bet has been
placed and feels betrayed. But do not fear! These movies ALWAYS end happily with
the couple together. A perfect example of this is in She's All That where the
most popular student in the school, Zack, makes a bet with his friends that he
can transform any girl in the school and into a prom queen. His classmates pick
the "nerdiest" girl, in the school, Laney, for Zack's experiment. Predictably,
he eventually falls in love with the girl. However, one of his friends tells
Laney that a bet was involved, and she attempts to disown Zack. Again, all ends
well as they forgive one another and magically fall in love once more.
It
seems that America craves these movies; from Ten Things I Hate About You to
She's All That to Drive Me Crazy, teens have flocked to the theaters to see the
same movie plot merely with different characters. Although these films do not
contain much acting talent, their scripts are strikingly similar to those of
Shakespeare. For instance, O is a modern Othello and Crazy/Beautiful is merely
Romeo and Juliet in a high school setting. It is pathetic how many teenagers
excitedly watch and enjoy movies such as Save the Last Dance and Never Been
Kissed , yet they shun classics like Othello and Romeo and Juliet.
Almost
all teen movies have the same plot; once you have seen one, you have seen them
all. Guy sees girl. Guy gets girl. Guy and girl fall in love. An altercation
occurs to break that love. Guy and girl fall in love again. Hollywood is
attempting to make it seem as if events like these frequently occur in high
schools. However, every teen can testify that situations like these are not very
probable. Teenagers should not waste their money on movies which portray a
stereotypic, false existence of their lives. Perhaps the reason why so many
teens watch these idiosyncratic movies is because teenagers wish to escape
reality.
