I feel like a lot of people miss the point of this movie. It’s largely seen as a nostalgia piece, a pining for a bygone time. But in reality, Linklater was trying to illustrate that the “good ol’ days” weren’t very different from the then current days and that kids were just as bored and rebellious in the 70’s as they were in the 90’s.
I really love the themes of this movie. It’s not just a nostalgia piece, yes it’s that but it’s also so much more. Mitch, Sabrina and the other freshman highlight the coming of age aspects of the movie, as they have they experience new things like alcohol, love and teenage angst. Wooderson’s character explores the theme of wanted to re live old times, while Pink just wants to live his life on his own terms, he wants freedom. Many characters also express feelings of confusion as they don’t quite know what they want to do with their lives or how they want their futures to be. So there’s this real contrast of wanting to relive old times and also escape the times that your living.
@@mikek7029 Why should he? He's an actor and movie star. Almost nobody with that occupation ever has. And he's now working towards gun control. Given the appalling number of school shootings in the USA: That sounds like a good thing for American youth to me.
@tom carter I also lived through the 70's. Of course it is a work of fiction, but the filmmakers in my opinion nailed the fashion of the time (velour shirts anyone?), and the look and feel of the movie is just very well done in my opinion.
I lived it we knocked mailboxes off posts, had 2 clubs in high school that we used to bust freshman butt with boards just like those, hung out playing foosball and pool at many different game rooms. Sure did the beer top flip like they did outside the game room, had a ton of beer bust with kegs and lots of smoke with Ludes, rjs,tuinals, etc So I really can't understand what you're talkin about
Watching this movie as I type. Forgot how great it is. Whoever is responsible for the music and the way it’s used in this movie deserves an Oscar. 1976 I was 5 years old. Long live the 70’s!🤘🏻😁🇺🇸🎶
I grew up during that time.... high school 78-82 Muscle cars were plentiful and cheap.... I had a 69 GTX ....... one of my best friends had a 69 Firebird..... another one had a 73 Firebird and a early 60’s Chevy II/Nova... In 1980 when I got my drivers license.... all the muscle cars were about 5 to 15 years old and fairly cheap...... and cruising around was the thing...!!!!
The Gilligan’s Island conversation in the bathroom not being here is a choice for sure. Honestly, such a great ensemble cast, from the vivacious Darla to the cool Randall “Pink”, this was a picture perfect cast
Funny thing is to me Matthew Mcconahy did it really come across as that old. Actually two woman who play high school students Parker Posey and Joey Lawrence Adams are older. Compared to the incoming Freshman they all seem older.
One of the best lines of the movie. “Yeah. Not to worry. There’s a new fiesta in the making as we speak. It’s out at the Moon Tower, full kegs, everybody’s going to be there, you ought to go.”
how can I make this list without the best line in the movie? “That’s what I love about these high school girls man, I get older, and they stay the same age.”
🤯 when I first watched this movie days and confused that literally blew my mind on how great it was. At the time when it first came out I didn't watch it because I didn't think it was good. Now since I seen it, I think it's Epic. Just waiting for Barnes & Noble to get it back in stock, yeah I could buy it at fye or even Target but I had already paid my membership at Barnes & Noble, I paid $25 a year. Also when you're a member you get your stuff within 4 days guaranteed also you get discounts and coupons in the mail as well.
20 years from now I'll still be watching this iconic movie.
In 20 years, the internet and the means to run technology will no longer exist.

and, coming from a teen, just as bored and rebellious as they are in the 2020s
I took this movie as a "how to get laid" guide
some things never change
2:48 I always like that short monologue, he’s saying basically saying life is what you make of it.
But he’s a loser who has a crappy job and hangs out with high schoolers…
Arguably the movie that put McConaughey on the map, and proved that he was truly a star on the rise! 🌟
It was. I read his book. It’s great btw. He said headlines were titled “The savior of Hollywood” when it came out.
First roll i recognized him was on America's most wanted as a reenactment actor.
It was his first lines on TV.....alright alright alright
@@mikek7029 what do you do for American youth 🤔

A movie I can watch over and over and never get sick of! One of my favorites of all time!
best movie!
As someone who was there, I can say this movie perfectly captures the mid '70s.
It is timeless. Every generation can relate to it. Especially those in my age group for whom this movie.]]

The entire script is an iconic line. Only Pulp Fiction is in the same ballpark. IMO, obv
I don't wanna hear no muthafucken IFs
You forgot one. "That's why I like high school girls. I get older but they stay the same age." 😆
That’s not PC for work culture, bruh
YOU DONE MESSED UP A A RON!
Chomo in the making huh? Aaron
@@danielnichols3713 Don't go hating on the movie buddy.
Iconic and at the same time creepy
"Hey Coach! Remember Me?? 2nd Period Gym Class???" LMAO I literally have an older cousin who looks and acts just like Slater.
Everybody's got a slater 😜
This movie will always be relevant, it's the timeless art of L I V I N
That's what I'm talking about!
As a member of Pink Floyd;s Class (1977), in a small Southern town, I have to say that is is spooky accurate.
I feel like someone took a movie camera and filmed inside my high school.
demons in people are familiar to mankind............@@lisabrown6361
I was in HS from 74 to 78 in South Houston and this was very accurate
I would never trade my experience for anything but the 70s seemed so fun
Class of 1978. It was a blast!
The 70’s were fun!
So very many memories from this movie, such a wonderful stroll down memory lane for me. Thank you

1:12 "Ohh d'you hear O'Bannion flunked?" "Yeah what a dumbshit!".😂💀
Iconic movie hand's down!!!!! They got the 70s down to a science hand's down!
2:36 pierce the veil used this clip from the song resilience
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FORR
The laughs after l-i-v-i-n are so real 😂
There's so many legendary lines in this movie,the greatest hits of lines video would have to be quite long.
*Class of '76 & '77 because back then... everyone didn't pass on the first attempt!*
How can 'Alright alright alright!' not be on this list?
Because a moron made the list. You want this done right, you ask me to do it.
I’m soooo glad that when I was in highschool we had keg parties and hung out like they do on this film.
Hell yeah. Pretty much every weekend was a house party or field party somewhere.
I still remember this being the best movie ever.when I was a teenager. alright alright alright. Matthew.
