YOU CAN'T STAY IN SEVENTEEN FOREVER

George Lucas's first successful work "American Graffiti", it is estimated that not many people have seen, it is mostly ah recommended to me earlier tonight looked again, the classic movie is worth watching the N

first Look, I think it's just a portrayal of the young generation in the United States in the 1960s, a lot of old rock, a lot of tricky cars, Hamburg Coke and crazy HIGH dance party. . .

It’s shocking, and there are some feelings, but youth, that’s it.
This film is about the last night of graduation. The experiences and stories of a group of friends are also intertwined.
Terry The Toad, translated into Tao Tsai casually. , Is a short four-eyed frog, acting stupidly, suddenly became charming and confident after borrowing a car, and I was so afraid of hanging a blonde girl immediately. . .

There is also a laugh to death where I buy wine. . .

There is also a great man at the limit of a decline. The John Milner who has never lost the car, and the cool brother is equipped with a dazzling car. But unfortunately, he took a little girl under 14 years old for a drive. Being teased by others,

the couple , Haha Student Union Chairman Steve and cheerleader Molly, faced graduation, and Xiao Shi decided to go to college. The last night before leaving, the two had a setback and a repetition. Finally Xiao Shi decided to stay. .

Yes, you think it’s incredible, but Molly’s old brother said it well, why did you leave your home for a new home? You can stay, can’t you? You can stay.

Molly's brother, Curt Anderson, who got a scholarship to go to a prestigious school in the east, did not want to leave for some reason. Yes, he is timid, he wants to see outside, wants to create a wonderful life, but I don’t know why, maybe he has too much nostalgia, maybe he is not confident enough, he just thinks he can’t do it, he has big ambitions, But it was hesitant to act, and he dared not take that step.

If he stays, maybe he can get the blond woman driving Thunderbird that he never sees, maybe he will join the "big brother club" to become a good brother, maybe life will be good, but he can never be young anymore. Going out to have a look when you are, or go out for a break, this kind of attempt under uncertainty is the greatest capital of young people.

So, don't always sway, decide quickly, do what you want to do, go where you want to go,
love the person you love, whether you can get her or not.

Please, you just have to do it.

His excuse is: "I want to stay for a year and think about what I want to do". It's very common, isn't it?

The greatest enemy of youth is confusion.

You can't stay in seventeen for ever! Isn't it?

Lucas said that these people have their own shadows. The

most common are Curt, and the most common are Tao Zi. . . Thin, short and stupid, the only self-confident is his own high-horsepower dazzling car, driving a big thing, rushing around, letting beautiful women hitchhiking, haha~ I laughed to death, it seems that everyone has died. . .

There are more than 40 rock music in the 1950s and 60s in the movie. At that time, a lot of money was spent on buying music rights, but the money was not in vain. chuckBerry BuddyHolly beachboys. . . Even ONLYYOU since Idon'thaveyou has these, haha

music is really tai chi , and that lewd band at the dance party. . .

At the beginning of the film, the choices faced by everyone are explained: Tao Tsai, fortunately, he has no plans. He is still enjoying and trying youth.

Milner said to Kurt: I can't go to a prestigious school, I didn't want to go, I just stayed in this damn place to have fun!

Curt was hesitating to go to college at the beginning, he was timid and said.

Xiao Shi is also going to college. He yearns for a new life and new feelings, and wants to leave Molly to enjoy the new life. . .

After one night, Milner won the car (won Harrison Ford);

Tao Tsai found a good girl and had an unlucky but wonderful night;

Molly and Xiao Shi found themselves inseparable from each other, Xiao Shi found that they were goodbye The girl didn't feel that she still cared about Molly the most, Molly finally told him not to leave herself, and the two decided to be together.

Where's Curt? Hehe, most of his stories are

first talking to the faculty who escaped from the university halfway. The person regretted and felt that he had quit because he felt that he had no ability and was not ready to compete. Xiao Ke also said that he felt the same way

when riding a car. , Met the blonde woman driving Thunderbird in the car and seemed to say "ILoveYou" to him (perhaps fake). He was suddenly so excited that he just wanted to find that woman. He was trying to be with that woman throughout the movie. Get in touch, that woman? Is it his true love? Is it important? He is just looking for a woman, and that woman is what he loves, who is it? Is it her? Is it important?

Everyone is encouraging him to go to college, don't stay here. He was so awkward and messed up with a few gangsters. I saw it and felt that it was a pity not to do something wrong when I was young, to do something crazy and to do something derailed.

Haha, that police car is also a miserable one. . .

There is always a radio program interspersed in the film, called the Werewolf program. . . Halo, the black DJ is engaged in it, playing music all the time, and making jokes all the time. Although the language is extremely sensual, it is also full of meaning and philosophy. Everyone is listening, hehe

Xiaoke found the werewolf. It turned out that he was doing a show while eating popsicles in a small recording studio in a small place outside the city. The

werewolf asked Xiaoke: Man, what are you doing?
Xiao Ke: I'm looking for a woman
werewolf: Me too, brother. She is definitely not here
, we are all looking for a woman, to be precise, we are all looking for love, the love that will never be obtained.
Xiao Ke said: I haven't decided whether I want to leave tomorrow. The werewolf took it directly, not yet decided. Then said, outside, wonderful, outside, big, here, small, here, boring
Xiao Ke asked, then why don't you go. The werewolf said, I’m not young anymore, buddy (my translation level,

please bear with me) Xiao Ke asked the werewolf broadcast to find the woman. He waited at the phone booth the
next morning when the woman called
Xiao Ke very excited. Answer the phone and just talk and ask, how do you know me?
The woman said, of course I know you
Xiao Ke excited to express their feelings of all, the woman said let's meet at night
Xiao Ke said, I'm afraid, I'm leaving

Bye for now, Xiao Ke

Xiao Ke asked the woman name, but still did not answer the phone hung up,
Xiao Ke smile on his face to the airport, the aircraft into the sky and say goodbye to everyone
Xiao Ke saw on the plane, a white Thunderbird gallop on the road beneath
but they are forever Land, missed it, is it a pity? It's no pity, it's a pity that

he made the choice, enough that the

plane disappeared in the distance, the movie had subtitles and photos to explain everyone's ending, and it ended in music.

Milner, was hit and killed by a drunk;
Tao Zi, who disappeared during the Vietnam War;
Xiao Shi, who stayed here and worked as an insurance agent;
Xiao Ke, who lived in Canada, became a writer.

Youth is past, bright eye-catching days past have gone
on a movie poster "Where were you in '62" on behalf of their generation lost youth
I recall my youth, but also be fascinating, nostalgia too much.
"What were you doing when you were seventeen?" (You can also ask yourself)
Hehe, too many wonderful stories happened.
Recall, only the sun and the breeze can represent my memories Oh
, but I thought I was a hesitant man,
do not know why, a lot of decisions that do not come out
a lot of ambition is not to try to try to do
a lot once
My goals have been abandoned, and there are still many opportunities. I just gave up and missed
it. I feel that I am always not ready to accept and strive for it.
So I lost everything and didn't know anything about it.
Fortunately , I was still young and looking forward to hitting the road.
Yeah, it's time to move forward, everyone, hurry up and go.

    Back in the day, Lucas's big counterattack work... Without it, I don't think the following Star Wars will be seen in this life~~ Put on neon gold, it should be called "American の photo". We have all been young once, and you and I don't know where to start getting old. We only know how to flourish overnight, and sigh "people don't be frivolous and despise young people".

    My ten best youth films, I hate to see each other late! Energetic and sad. Just a collection of 41 golden rock songs from the 50s to 60s is worthy of endless looping (also [Runaway][Smoke Gets in Your Eyes]). Lucas condenses the youth of 4 people in a single night with a multi-line narrative. In this last crazy night, the outstanding youth experienced a gang life by accidentally hitting and ramming, and the unruly racing prince was forced to give it to the girl. An eternal and unforgettable gift, the ugly goose turned over to capture the lover of his dream, and the wanderer who wanted to go out finally realized the beauty of stability and love. At that time, the American town looked like a free and happy hometown, Kennedy and Monroe were still alive, the clouds of the Vietnam War had not yet struck, and the wave of rebellion and revolution had not yet begun. The teenagers are eager to try, but have not yet experienced the pain of disillusionment. They make their own choices, but after parting ways, they may come to an abrupt end or return to the mediocre or lucky life path, which is explained by only a few lines of subtitles, which is filled with mixed feelings. Qiru [come with me]. PS: It is a semi-autobiographical work for Lucas, reminiscent of the past of rock, drag racing and hookup. (9.5/10)
