![]() |
This is for all of the teenage boys out there who cannot stand listening to girls go crazy over High School Musical 3. You guys know exactly who you are, and cannot fathom why girls are in love with such a movie. By the end of this essay, after the explanation of why girls are infatuated with this movie, you may understand what you do not seem to comprehend.
There is one main reason why this movie affects girls in ways that boys do not understand, and that is: Troy Bolton ~ (played by: Zac Efron)

As you can see by looking at the stunning picture above, the number one reason that girls are in love with this movie is because of Zac Efron, who plays the lead character Troy Bolton in the movie. Girls think that he is the most gorgeous guy to walk the face of the earth! Anything that Zac does is amazing, and that is why girls are fixated when he is on the screen. He only has to appear on screen and girls are amazed by him. Not only is he gorgeous, but he also has a stunning voice along with his catchy dance moves. Without him, the movie would not be what it is today.
Then there are two minor supporting reasons to cherish the movie, which both tie in with the leading reason, Troy Bolton.
* Dancing and singing
* Love
The second best thing about High School Musical 3 is that there is singing and dancing. None of those horror movie effects with gory scenes would even be considered for this film. All of the singing makes the movie joyful and upbeat. It is not just a regular movie; it is a musical. That means that every scene is somehow put into singing and dancing. In addition, this movie portrays real-life happenings that girls relate to. The movie makes us not feel not singled out, like someone else is going through the same events. Watching this movie puts you in a very uplifting mood. It instantly makes you feel happy and comfortable, because when dancing and singing come in sync, there is an unstoppable positive vibe that radiates throughout the audience. The dancing just adds to it, because what girl does not like watching a cute guy with moves? But, the best part is watching Troy both sing and dance at the same time. Here, once again, the beauty of Efron's performance is that he's a vibrant athletic hoofer who leaps and clowns with the heartthrob vigor of a young Gene Kelly, yet he's also achingly sincere. His fast-break alertness makes him the most empathetic of teen idols; he's like a David Cassidy who knows how to act, and who can swoon without getting too moist about it (Gleiberman ¶4). It shows how much talent he has and makes him more of a dream guy.
The last, but not least, amazing feature to this movie is that it is about two people in love. To girls that is the most adorable thing ever, because they dream about meeting the perfect guy like Troy. Zac has control over the whole movie, and since this has a happy ending with him and the love of his life staying together, he is idolized more and more by girls. Troy is a strong believer in following through with what you want to do and not listening to what everyone else wants you to do. That takes a lot of courage and confidence, which are both charming characteristics. Troy makes this movie seem like a fairytale which girls daydream about all day in every aspect of their life because he makes High School Musical 3 go so smoothly and happily.
I can see why you guys make fun of girls who have a fondness with this movie. Unless you are a Zac Efron fan or are really into dancing and singing, then yes you would think this is the most annoying movie ever. But now that you guys know why girls are in love with this movie, don't you want the ladies swooning over you like this stud? Just think, what would Zac Efron do?
