Look back

Peter Bogdanovic.
Full of unforgettable feelings for the classic Hollywood era. Dreams of those youths. Those towns that raised them, those western legends that made them infinitely yearn for, the most beautiful girl in the town that made them crazy, and even the beautiful lady who still has the charm. All in all, in the small town, under the calm coat is the impulse and passion of young people and the indulgent look back and adventure of middle-aged people to their "passion burning years".

In the 1970s, the young Hollywood directors directed the tube, looking back at their youth arbitrarily. They grew up listening to the legends of the west and yearned for adventures in Mexico, but the west was long gone. Hundreds of boring and bleak towns in the town, the years spent in cinemas, cafes, and billiards all ended on the day of graduation from high school. The hormonal-proliferating teenagers yearn to fall in love with the most beautiful girl in town, but the girl only regards love as a game. What she wants is whether her ups and downs will become a new legend in the town. It has become a legendary movie with nine songs and eighteen bends.

Those restless youth. A lonely town. Dull days.
The death of the old cowboy took away all the youths in the town yearning for the west, and even the west finally disappeared from the town.

In the movie, the male protagonist and his good friend watched the last movie, which was a legend about the western "Red River Valley". They yelled to expand their territory, then left, and went to the next distance.

    The black-and-white images and the nostalgic vibe created by Hank Williams are captivating, even if the background is bleak. Movies of teens in small-town Texas in the 1950s are so lifelike. The skinny dipping scene is so engaging (hey!) it's a beautiful and somewhat honest portrait of life. Wes stole plenty of Hank Williams song from it for Moonrise Kingdom.

    This film and "American Graffiti" can be described as a relationship between light and shadow, showing the extreme emptiness, indifference and distortion of the United States after the demise of the heroic myth of the West. The town can be said to be a symbol of the American spirit, and the lion is the representative of the American mythology in the past. When the lion died, everything in the town became different, and there was nothing worth lingering on.
