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.
