The American version of "Platform". The desolate small town of Texas, youth growth, helplessness and predicament. When color films were all the rage in the 1970s, black and white photography was deliberately used to create a sense of nostalgia under the background of the Korean War in 1951. The treatment of many bridges is a classic, and it is not outdated even now. In particular, the two episodes of the female lead undressing in the pool and the first affair between the male lead and the coach’s wife are particularly impressive.

The "pure" and "stupid" of the past passed by together with time, and only the old movies that no longer exist in the aftertaste. 1971 should be the era of color movies, right? Deliberately black and white?
The Last Picture Show quotes
-
Sonny Crawford, Duane Jackson, Jacy Farrow: [singing] Whether in defeat or victory, We will always be true, Anarene High School we love you, And we'll fight for you!
-
Ruth Popper: [to Sonny] What am I doing apologizing to you? Why am I ALWAYS apologizing to you, you little bastard? Three months I've been apologizing to you without you even being here! I haven't done anything wrong. Why can't I quit apologizing? You the one ought to be sorry! I wouldn't still be in my bathrobe if it hadn't been for you. I'd have my clothes on hours ago. You're the one made me quit caring if I got dressed or not! I guess just because your friend got killed, you want me to forget what you did and make it all right? I'm not sorry for you. You'd have left Billy too, just like you left me. I bet you left him plenty of nights, whenever Jacy whistled. I wouldn't treat a dog that way. I guess you thought I was so old and ugly, you didn't owe me any explanation. You didn't need to be careful of me. There wasn't anything I could do about you and her, why should you be careful of me? You didn't love me. Look at me. Can't you even look at me?
[long pause, as Sonny slowly turns to look at Ruth, blankly]
Ruth Popper: See? Shouldn't have come here. I'm around that corner now. You've ruined it. It's lost completely. Just your needing me won't make it come back.
