When we were young
1 of 1 found this helpful I first saw American Graffiti when I was 15. 1983. It was ten years after the film had been made...and that's the point.
Whatever age you are..you will love this film... because it takes you back to your teenage years.
Even if you weren't a teenager in 1950's america.
We all make decisions, when we are young, about collage or work, about love or...well..wanting it.
American Graffiti plays out your hopes and dreams and insecurities..and gives you the chance to relive your teenage years.
The drift from early evening to the later hours is so well done..and the music is gorgeous.
We all know the characters..we grew up with them..in our own lives..
But, the best thing about American Graffiti..is the humour and meloncholy.
From the moment 'toad' crashes his mo-ped into to the wall, because he doesn't know how to stop it..we've all been there..to the moment those immortal lines are spoken by..Curt..to steve, his best friend..'I'll see you next year...Knowing full well he won't.
American Graffiti is a great film..I love it..and i'm sure you will too.
