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.
it’s a more real, defined, engulfing world than any i’ve 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, “Adventureland Summer” 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 it’s own way.
as i’m typing this, i think i believe this is the best film ever made? that can’t be true, probably, but idk watch it you’ll love it and feel a lot.
