Rama’s SCREEN

This is one of the most interesting movies I’ve ever seen. It’s a fun take on, how should I put this, sexual exploration, if you will. It deals with different ‘genres’ of sex. It’s obvious from the title that the movie’s trying to be as blunt as possible but I’m surprised by how well structured each of the story is and how… somewhat profound everything gets in the end. Now, bear in mind that anybody who says that it’s like riding a bike, he’s probably a nympho or an experienced porn star. This movie deals with the awkwardness and the uncomfortable demands of our sexual urges and whether or not IT needs to have any meaning at all.

The Couple, Abby (Kristin Booth) and Andrew (Josh Dean), try to spice up their stale love life, only to discover that things are worse than they thought. Matt (Aaron Abrams) and Kristen (Carly Pope) are The Friends, lifelong buddies, one sick and the other sick of love. Their plan to sleep together goes off the rails when romance rears its ugly head. The Exes, Mia (Sonja Bennett) and Eric (Josh Cooke), hook up again for old time’s sake, while trying to hide the feelings they still have for one another. In The First Date, world-class playboy Ken (Callum Blue) comes clean about his history to his naïve young date Jamie (Diora Baird), learning some of her secrets in the process. The Roommates, Dave (Peter Oldring) and Gord (Ennis Ember) are normally at each other’s throats, but set aside their differences for a threesome with Gord’s girlfriend Inez (Natalie Lisinska). In each case, the couple (and trio) discovers that sex isn;t always simple.

This isn’t one of those movies that would have numerous interlocking stories that cross each other’s paths or that one has anything to do with the other. None of that.
It tells five different situations involving four couples and one three-people group
There’s a couple, there’s the best friends, there’s the Exes, there’s the ‘first-date’ and then there’s the roommates.
Each of them goes through six phases: prelude, foreplay, sex, interlude, orgasm, and afterglow

I enjoy the writing because the dialogue itself is outrageous, in a good way. I think the Writing teams Martin Genro and Aaron Abram want to come up with something that plays with the stereotypes about sex but at the same time… it has a point, it’s not just some random happenstance that has no purpose whatsoever. The actors in this movie are not what you’d consider people with the greatest acting skills but they do their job. The dude who plays the nerd/geeky roommate cracks me up…and besides, the women in this movie are so damn attractive, even if you can’t follow the story, you definitely won’t be able to keep your eyes off of any of them.

This movie has some of the funniest lines I’ve ever heard in the history of cinemas. The honesty is so brutal, some scenes would make your some audiences blush in embarrassment and that’s probably because they can relate to what happen.
In the situation of the best friends who want to get over nasty break ups by having meaningless sex just for some escape or release. One character describes the plan to her friend in such details and humor that only we adults can appreciate and laugh about.

Yes, it’s a comedy but you’ll also like the small hints of drama presented in this movie. The dilemmas that come from the fact that you probably shouldn’t take sex so lightly. Many movies have portrayed the effect that supposedly “meaningless sex” has on the people involved, mostly it’s the women who afterward would feel like it needs to mean so much greater than that.
But this movie shows that it affects both gender
The Exes, for example, they embark on a one night stand encounter but it’s clear to see who among them wishing it could be more than just that, wishing that they could be together again as lovers.
The dude in the ‘First-Date’ scenario apparently is a glutton for talking hart to hart and gettin’ to know the other person before hittin’ the sack. The humor is that he ain’t smooth and the woman just wants pure f**king.

The three people group and the couple situations are similar in themes. What would you be willing to do to make the person you love happy?
Sometimes it could get you take foolish decision. You think you’re unworthy to have her that maybe by letting her screw somebody else, that would make her not wanna leave you, but the fact is that she loves you no matter what other people may think.
Having stayed together for a long time, doesn’t it mean the relationship has to have a diminishing sex pleasure as the years go by? The man is willing to go ‘the extreme’ to make the woman happy not realizing until afterward that he’s actually happy as well by ‘the extreme measure’ he’s been willing to take.
It’s about trying something new and rekindling the passion… although.. there’s one method in that movie I would never try… ever.

The point is, YOUNG PEOPLE F**KING goes to show that even adults still have so much to learn about sex, the learning is an ongoing process. But thank God this isn’t another movie about a bunch of people trying to get laid before they graduate. I think we’ve had just about enough of those.
