Wow. Remember when George Lucas had talent? Remember when he did something outside of butchering his own films with remastering (and unnecessary sequels-I’m looking at you Indiana Jones and the Aliens, Really?) Me either. But this movie proves that at one point, anything was possible. It all takes place in the quintessential “last night before college” which I love. It really captures the feeling of the summer being over and that it’s time to move on. Ron Howard (who I love as an actor and just generally dislike as a director) is great in this role. I have yet to hate Richard Dryfuss in anything. And Harrison Ford? I’M SHALLOW.It’s really interesting to have seen this movie after I’ve seen Dazed and Confused so many times. It’s really clear where Linklater got much of his inspiration. The music plays such a huge role in this film. I liked it a lot. This movie comes highly reccomended!
