So, I watched this movie called Sex Appeal.
Plot:
It's about this perfectionist girl Avery who is kind of a nerd. She has everything figured academically, and sees everything from the perspective of science. She has an early acceptance to MIT, is very smart and has all of life planned and figured out. She is in a long distance with this guy whom she met at STEM conference, and they decide to have sex on the next conference which is in a month.
Thoughts:
So, I won't go into the plot too much, it's kinda like writing a story lol, but she asks her childhood friend Larson to try and experiment things with her. So, this guy Larson (haha as I am writing this I know it's kinda stupid but please hold on...) has feelings for her. He kinda expressed it when they were 14. And basically she didn't have feelings for him that way so he got stuck in the friendz🥶ne.
But now this whole figuring out things about sex is kinda difficult for him, because he loves her and for her it's purely experimental. But he decides to do it anyways. They do it, and then she loses her virginity with her boyfriend which is extremely awkward, the whole thing is she later finds out she has feelings for him, but it was too late by then because Larson feels like she didn't value the relationship (which she hadn't). You know, if it was any other movie, things would have ended perfectly and problems would've resolved and stuff like that, and it doesn't happen so.
Which is exactly why I love the movie. It's nice to see things work out once in a while. Because I've been watching too many romantic movies where things always work out and had this feeling that it should always be the same. Which often doesn't happen in real life. Which is also why I loved 500 days of summer.
Anyways, it's just that it was nice to see realistic depiction of friendships and love once a while. I recently lost a friend of mine, and it was the first one that I did my entire life, so I am processing this. You know ... somehow losing ex doesn't feel anything losing your friend. And it becomes wayy to complicating when they are the same person. So, yeah please follow my guide to how to never fall in love with your best friend. (I am getting good at linking articles in my blog 😎.. let me know if it worked in the comments.)
Now, you may label it as a stupid teenage movie, but it was fun. I liked it. Also, loved the dialogue "You can only experience so much love as much love as you are willing to give", and "friendships and sex is about giving" which is true. I think we expect too much from other people. Giving is an art? It takes a lot just to give without expecting anything in return, and without feeling like "oh i'm the person who always gives " and stuff like that.
I hope I can learn to be more giving, loving, and understanding.
Until Next time
