The last night of madness

1. New Hollywood has never been an art movement with a common goal, but the film should be on the main axis of the new Hollywood, and more importantly, the film is heralding the turn of the new Hollywood. 2. As night falls, they are still wandering on the street like the youth in "Rebellion Without a Cause". However, what is more fortunate than Jim and Plato is that they don’t have to endure the family’s insufficiency. They don’t even need to face the dangers and losses. The stolen car is lost and recovered, and the car accident in the racing car did not cause any serious harm to anyone. . 3. The small town at night is like an amusement park for these teenagers, happy and safe, and it also has a day to end. However, there are new amusement parks waiting for them. The cowboys in the desert went into space to punish and punish evil. The cowboys in the university fought for the ark of the covenant with the Nazis. It's so natural to go to war with big capital in the floating mountains. 4. In the 1960s and 1970s, when Lucas was full of freedom, strife and pain relief, he painted a picture of freedom, joy, hormonal surging and ultimately harmlessness for Americans, but at the same time he began to show a little fatigue. . Steve asked, "Why do we leave home to find a home, why do we leave our loved friends to find new friends". Laurie, who had a car accident after dawn, said more representatively: "I couldn't bear it". From "We blew it" to "I couldn't bear it", they ushered in an inevitable compromise and return. 5. The film starts at dusk and ends at dawn. The next day they will leave home to enter university and enter the middle class. This is the most beautiful last night in New Hollywood. 6. Although the night passed so silently, the times still left people with pain; on the empty mirror of the plane at the end of the film, the heads of several protagonists gradually appeared, some of them died of drunkenness The driver may have died on the battlefield in Vietnam; the rest have to live in the midst of life with nowhere to escape. As I have been living in the illusory atmosphere of freedom in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, I really don’t know who deserves more sympathy. 7. Scenes worth remembering: ①When John first drove onto the street, the editing was extremely smooth. The busy street and driving naturally resembled our vegetable market. At the same time, the editing of traffic flow in different directions is also full of anxiety. ②The license plate is THX138. ③Only you at the end of the film is too vivid.

    For this kind of thing equal to the imprint of the times, the quality is already a secondary issue. But I don't like this kind of life.

    Graffiti is a graffiti, not a style painting, not much style, just a graffiti, just like the graffiti on a certain street somewhere in the United States, Hugh can represent the United States. Presumably George Lucas was also a literary youth back then.
