Jim's Dad
American Pie
1999
Oh yes... American Pie. This film took teen angst to the next level. It took it beyond the ultimate desire to get laid, it went into the self stimulating, visual appealing, and even MILF category of wow-ness!
With a film based along the preface of sex, lust, boy meets girl, boy wants girl, and girl who is completely out of someones league, yet boy gets her, American Pie gave us laughter, humor, vivid memories and yes... horrific nightmares about Jim's dad. We will never forget "band camp" and will most likely never forget "shit break".
The talents of Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Alyson Hannigan, Shannon Elizabeth, Tara Reid, Seann William Scott, Mena Suvari and Eugene Levy, this ensemble cast made high school cool, and sex even more cool.
I think about the times where not knowing what something was could be so intoxicating. I think about times when feeling as if you were the last one on earth to know what a certain position was or how something felt gave you the creepiest vibe of being inexperienced. I think a lot of people learned about sex from this film. I think a lot of people heard words before that they would most definitely not bring home to momma.
American Pie was innocently sweet, yet vividly candid and vibrantly expressive. I like films that shock me. I like films that kinda leave you uncomfortable in certain scenes. It is what makes us human. Step outside our comfort zone, accept what is in front of us, and walk away with an open mind.
I think everyone competes with sex. I think everyone competes for sex. Does is bring you status, power, or energy? Does sex give you satisfaction?
A lot of books, films, songs and even paintings reflect sex. It is like the world is oppressed and needs to be reminded more and more that sex is out there. So the question is; what turns you on? Is it the thought, the visual, the act, the surprise, or the consistency?
We may all seek routine, yet, American Pie goes beyond the act, and into taking matters in ones own hands ;-)
