The movie Varsity Blues is a great movie. After about three minutes and forty two seconds into the movie, I was hooked. The scene started with the main character Jonathan Moxon (James Van Der Beek) getting picked up by his friend Billy Bob (Ron Lester). Moxon is forced to jump in, as his good friend will not stop the car for him to board. After safely jumping on, Billy Bob continues on the way to pick up quarterback of the football team, Lance Harbor (Paul Walker), and fellow energetic teammate Tweeter (Scott Caan). Billy Bob is accompanied in his truck by his pet pig, “Bacon,” making the scene more entertaining to watch. All boys are on their high school’s football team. At twenty- nine minutes and forty-three seconds, the plot point occurs. The quarterback, Lance Harbor, is injured during a football game, leading second-string player, Moxon, to take over for him. Moxon, before this point, was often criticized for his lack of talent at football. He was insecure about his skills, and was not that interested in the game of football. After this change in plot, Moxon is now the town hero. Right away, Moxon was treated as a star and earned the respect he deserved from his friends, family, and peers, but still not from his coach, Bud Kilmer (John Voight). The second plot point took place after one hour and twenty-six minutes into the movie. During that scene, the corruption of the coach is exposed. Kilmer gave shots of drugs to his players to temporarily relieve them of their injuries, but mostly to keep them in the game. He did not care for his team, but wanted only to win another consecutive playoff game. His team feels upset and betrayed, because of his approach to the problems, and blames him for the injury of the quarterback. The team defies him and refuses to go back into the last playoff game with him as coach. Kilmer does not go back out as coach, and leaves the game. The team wins the game with Lance Harbor as coach and Moxon as quarterback. The courage and enthusiasm brought by the team proves how winning was not that important to them, but having fun was. Mainly, Moxon finally lives up to reputation he always wished he had. The movie fit the 3-act paradigm, but was a little off on the estimations of time. It contained two plot points that helped define the film and consider it a “Hollywood movie”.
