STIFFLERS FOR LIFE

Movie: American Pie : BETA HOUSE(2007)




Most things in life happen without you expecting them to happen. I never knew that I would be sitting(rather lying) on a relatively small single bed along with two more boys, and three more who were around in front of a personal computer, with reduced volumes so that "aunty doesnt hear", and watching a not so recommended for teens, teenage movie called the American Pie Beta House....

The movie is about the legacy of the Stiflers and the college keedas they do. It really took me time to adjust to what was going on in front of my eyes...I never saw things going so much out of control, rather out of censor on screen. But whatever be the case, being a man, it was fun! So talking about the story, Dwight Stiffler leads a house called the BETAs and their rivals are the GEEKS.... Both have got the greek letters as their symbols. The major part of the movie deals with how Dwight trains up new BETAs by making them complete 50 unbelievably mischeavous and maddening tasks! I remember one of those tasks was to have sex with a college proffesor!

Now these 50 tasks and the love life of a BETA in the making, Erik Stiffler forms the major part of the story. This includes super funny sequences like father encouraging child to have sex, girls stripping around in dance areas, common bathrooms for girls and guys, phew phew phew!!. For the climax we have this maddening event called the Greek Olympiad. In this we see the tussle between the Geeks and the Betas for supremacy and existence.

During these events many things happen which are not really describable(like the horse semen gun), but let me tell you, they are sheer fun.

One reason why I appreciate this movie is that though it has got maximum exposure and freedom in both dialogues and scenes, it still isnt an adult movie as such. It is an ever teen movie. It tickles your inner youth spirit and encourages you for many things, its your choice where you want to get tickled and where do you want your encouragement.

Most of the people would be encouraged to go around and try to create this "pseudo-sex anytime anyone " world and get into trouble in their real lives. But the real beauty of the movie is its encouragement for team spirit and the power of unity. How the BETAs defeat the GEEKs just by their superior team unity. Thats a thing which should be learnt.

Off late, this 2007 blockbuster has tickled my class friends all over. They also formed this BETA group in our Government run high school, got their group uniform and stuff and have united big time. I dont know what they achieved by trying to be Stifflers but I can tell you they are much stronger friends and are much more united than before because of this adhesive called BETA......Such is the effect of movies like these....

These considerations inspire me to become a BETA too....Malay are you listening?
