American Pie and The Future

American Pie is considered one of the funniest movies in my time; it brings together many aspects of love, betrayal, and humor. However I believe American Pie, the original movie was a part of the upcoming turn of the millennium and the unknown. The main character Jim has never had sex and is unsure of himself and his future, it seems like world as it turns for another millennium the world is unsure of itself and its future. Jim knows he is going to college and will succeed, he sounds a little like the U.S. as were the dominant power but we hadn’t been tested in over sixty years, I’m talking of world war two when our power was truly contested and not the cold war. Going past the non-sex part Jim and the U.S. had a lot in common. Jim was the leader of the group while it didn’t seem like it was; he always brought the group together, for instance when Jim and his friends make the pact it is sort of like NATO attempting to find itself past the Cold War. With the turn of the clock the boys will be separated for the first time and have to find themselves in a new world. It seems like when the millennium was coming many people expected massive change and different technology to come to live and that was a part of American Pie. Oh yeah in the end they all get laid it might have tried to lay the ground work that world would be ok and the U.S. would maintain its strength through the coming years.
