Risky Business
I’d heard about the movie Risky Business and I have to say that I had no good reason to sit down and watch it really. I had seen the ever so famous clip of Tom Cruise dancing around in his underwear and I had basically boiled the movie down to that scene. If it has Tom Cruise dancing around in his underwear in cannot be that much of a movie, really, now can it. But, hell, I was bored and here I was watching this movie, and I was preparing to change the channel when I heard the following words:“Every now and then, say "what the fuck". "What the fuck" gives you freedom. Freedom brings opportunity. Opportunity makes your future... So, your folks are going out of town tomorrow. You've got the place all to yourself?Yeah.What the fuck. If you can't say it, you can't do it.”Now, this got my attention, because, sure, What the Fuck? Absolutely you must say it now and then and just realize that hey, What the fuck? Life goes on and things change all the time. Boy, do they ever change. I have to admit, Risky Business is definitely one of the best teen angst movies I’ve ever seen. It’s real, it’s kind of, scary, and it has all the elements of a parent’s worst nightmare: the child, alone in the house, for more than a few days, with too much money, and raging hormones. This movie is really perfect in that sense. Perhaps it was living in Chicago so long that gave the film almost a nostalgic feel for my own misbegotten youth, but really, you’ve never seen someone go from the bottom to the top, to the middle to the bottom and back to the top as fast as you will watching this. Plus, I can say, I’ve never seen a more accurate el train sex scene. Kids, if your parents are going away for the weekend, watch the movie, older then kids, watch it again and remember all the trouble you got into that your parents never new about.
