    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...

    Dilapidated towns, men and women in estrus, summer in a broken place; nostalgic golden songs, old western movies, endless sandstorms; shadows of war, confused times, and elegy of youth. After Sam's death, everything turned sour, the morals slipped and the spirit was lost, the movie came to an end on TV, and the good times ended sadly. It's too "graduate" to hang out with the coach wife and buddy Ma Zi; I like Jessie's mother the most, she is elegant and enlightened after years of refinement and...

    People living in memory

    After watching a movie for the first time, I feel like I want to cry, but I can’t squeeze a tear out. Sometimes black and white old movies have this kind of power. The lens looks like a light and windy lens, but it is like a soldering iron. The pain was born in my heart.
         The young man in the...

    (Note: Serious spoilers, don't like it. Although this film itself has no plot.)

    This small town in Texas has been in decline for some years. The first shot of the opening scene is from right to left, panning past the deserted shops, the empty streets that have lost vitality, the wind and the sand...

The Last Picture Show quotes

  • [last lines]

    Ruth Popper: Never you mind, honey. Never you mind.

  • Sonny Crawford: Say, I hear Duane joined the Army.

    Genevieve: Good place for him too.

    Sonny Crawford: Oh, he was just holding that bottle. He didn't mean to hit me with it.

    Genevieve: That boy always had meaness in him. Of course, Jacy's just the kind of girl that brings out the meaness in a man. She's just like her grandmother. Oh, I hadn't ought to talk about them, anyhow. We was all good friends once. Dan roughnecked with Gene Farrow. He and Lois, they used to live in this little one-room place over the newspaper office. Lois couldn't afford a flour sack, much less a mink. I've always had a soft spot for her, though. Yeah, I wondered a lot of times what would've happened if Dan made the strikes that Gene made. They offered that rig to him first. Dan Morgan never took a chance in his life.

    Sonny Crawford: Don't you wish y'all had made it?

    Genevieve: Sure, I wish we made it.
