This is a video clip from the movie John Tucker Must Die, a
popular movie about a group of high school girls attempting to embarrass a male
classmate in front of the entire school.
The clip depicts a girl, Brittany Snow, who, with the help of her
friends, tries to tempt John Tucker to climb across several balconies to her
room. In the clip she puts a lot of
effort into portraying herself as “sexy,” sporting lingerie and subtly hinting
that they won’t just be hanging out if he comes to her room. However, when he finally climbs through the
door to a dark room it turns out the room is not Brittany’s but instead a
parental figure who proceeds to drag him down the hallway to the coach’s
room. After an embarrassing encounter
with the majority of his classmates in the hallway, Brittany tells him she must
have counted wrong and gives a dainty “sorry” in return for the mistake.
Do you think that sex draws people to do outrageous things
like climb across several balconies to be rewarded with sex? Do you think that guys are more likely to
react to sex appeal than women because of the extremes taken by John Tucker in
the movie? The music playing in the
background claims “I want you so hard, I want you so good,” so would it be fair
to say that even though John gets caught, that some actions are worth taken if
the reward is great enough? Do you think
producers use sex to sell movies?
