Absolutely one of my favorite movies and one which I have different feelings about every time I watch it. I think there are very few movies which convey the particular set of emotions and experiences as this film does and I recommend it to everyone.
one of my favorite movies. at 16 years old, watching it feels nostalgic in itself, but the picture it paints of the era in which it takes place is also nostalgic. itās a more real, defined, engulfing world than any iāve ever experienced through film, and even though i know what happens, i feel the things the characters feel as they feel them. when vr allows us to live in a movie, theme park ride style, āAdventureland Summerā will be my first stop. this thing is dripping with nostalgic heartache to the tunes of the replacements and lou reed, every performance is great / super funny / heartbreaking in itās own way. as iām typing this, i think i believe this is the best film ever made? that canāt be true, probably, but idk watch it youāll love it and feel a lot.
i never thought iād find my 10/10 movie but i think this is it
iām moved, amazed, and also feel seen somehow
every detail made such an impact
between the living situation and dustin hoffmannās supreme performance, it brought me to tears so many times
i never knew how much one movie could impact so much of cinema, even freaking elf
i donāt need to watch another movie for a long time lol
i could write a book on all of this, yet iām astounded and lacking words
i think joe buck represents so much of the innocence/naivety we start with in life (also omg i couldnāt believe that was jon voight at first!)
and i feel like rizzo ratzo rico is the polar opposite, jaded reality of what it feels like in the real world. his pain came through so strong and hit me like a bunch of swords to the soul.
thereās so much more to it than just that but thatās all for now.
My friend Liam got sent these by accident when he ordered vans and gave them to me since they sent him size 13. These shoes are goofy and I don't know who would buy them but I wear them all the time because I think they're really fun and have a lot of character.
