Exept Sex

We all know Austin Powers. We all know the era. We all know Austin Powers gets laid in that era. This much information is well understood that showing it even further does nothing for the writer, its progresses the story none. So the author doesn't, instead he progresses the plot further by making a sort of metaphor. When Austin is about to do "it" the scene cuts out. But why? Isn't that what he was all about? Isn't that the plot of this stupid movie? Well yes to the both of those questions. The author instead cuts to a new scene in which a volcano erupts. It's a seemingly unimportant detail but it means a lot. By bypassing the usual sex scene the author moves on a new level. A metaphorical one. The viewer can feel the power of the night without having to really feel it.
