Review: There are spoilers in this review ... What a great, great movie. If you want to know what it means to be in school in the mid-70s was like, rent this movie. I grew up in Manhattan Metro area. We have no freshman hazing, and few of us could produce cars (even if we knew them and coveted them), but the rest of the film is as dead in my school experience in the 70 secondary fear. Each character in the film is with someone she knew at the time. Yes, there was a lot of marijuana, yes, get the beer was pretty easy for minors ... I used to buy in bars when I was 16. Shop class did the pipe. We hung out and had left in the night, led street beers and smoking joints listening to the same music drinking. There was also youth centers. The girls I knew were so beautiful and so difficult to get into your jeans. They used pliers too, but also put them while they were wet for more this aspect of molding. There was no worry about HIV, herpes was not a big deal, the biggest concern was pregnant. Everyone was having sex ... All these facts were also no big deal. Most of my classmates did very well, and are now erecting pillars of the community. Today many are led to believe that this is an example of the road to ruin. It was a great time amazing. The film has interesting character development, with the same guys who remember. Philosophers, heads (now called Stoner), thugs and shipwrecks. This is my American Graffiti and perfect. Waxing nostalgic? Perhaps, but someone who has not lived that time loves dialogue in this movie, because it is the universal experience of this time of life. This is the school in the 70s. Check it out.
