Ten

This movie is an extremely good movie to see a typical guy fantasy. The main character,
who in my opinion is having a mid-life crisis, sees this girl and instantly becomes
attracted to her. He calls her his perfect ten. The girl is tall, blond, and curvy in all the
right places, the typical beach bunny. He say's that he has never been so infatuated with
a girl in his whole life. To me this is a typical male response when facing a mid-life crisis.
He is trying to rekindle his youth by trying to win over this young girl who is obviously
some one to be desired. All the while he is seeing a beautiful woman his age, but he is
losing interest in her because of her age. Its sad to think that this man is so caught up on
catching his youth and this girl that he is willing to lose the woman that he already has. I
think this has to a lot to do with what the media says about the issue of "old age".
Though 10 was made in the 80's image was still very important back then as well. Today
you either age gracefully or you get plastic sugery. In my opinion i think it is much better
to age with grace rather than look like you are forever walking against the wind.
