Actually they are not crazy at all

Because of the legend of this film, I watched it with admiration. It is indeed not only praised for the screenwriter's unique perspective and vision. Maybe most people will think that this film is just a vulgar farce. I don't think so. The male lead Frustrated by the news of his ex-girlfriend's engagement, and angered by his current girlfriend's romantic history. The little characters in the movie can't be more real. The hero who should be on vacation is unlucky to go to the top shift. The result of the game had to be held on the supermarket rooftop. The anger of the customers turned into motivation and made their game dirty. A few buddies drank all the Gatorade in the store unceremoniously. The customer spit on him when he kept nagging about the unnutritious headlines in the newspaper. He chose to help his brother and gave him a little report like his current girlfriend. Especially when people originally decided to choose the current girlfriend. I
remember hearing about American a long time ago It is at least 100 years ahead of China. Hehe. A film made in 1994 can resonate with people like me today. Not only do I agree with this point of view again helplessly.
In addition, the segmental narrative method of the film should also be very new at that time. Concept.
From the beginning to the end, without saying a word, the silent Bob who only cares about smoking utters a sentence that makes the hero suddenly sober. It really proves the meaning of an amazing idiom. The
hero is extremely kind. So is his brother. Although he is very disdainful of customers who ask for advice on which movie to rent to her. At least he is a real buddy who will always support his brother.
The lines and plots that seem crazy and vulgar actually reflect the truth of the public. It restores the ordinary People's lives. It is for this reason that this small-budget film has so many accolades.
In addition, the film proves at least two things. The best seller in the supermarket is still cigarettes, and the most popular rental disc is still A Piece. At least at the time. Now?! I guess almost...

    You're so obsessed with making it seem so much more epic, so much more important than it really is.

    [8.1] Complementing the standard, I revisited it by the way, and I watched the animated version, which I just hadn't seen for a few minutes before. Kevin is such a genius! ! Twenty-five thousand US dollars, plus the actors who pieced together, completed such a classic! Everything is based on awesome lines, seemingly indifferent acting skills, casual soundtrack, scattered stories without a main line, all appear interesting under all kinds of black humorous dialogues!

Clerks quotes

  • Dante Hicks: You know what the real tragedy about all this is? I'm not even supposed to be here today!

    Randal Graves: [suddenly outraged] Oh, fuck you! Fuck you, pal! Jesus, there you go again trying to pass the buck. I'm the source of all your misery. Who closed the store to play hockey? Who closed the store to go to a wake? Who tried to win back his ex girlfriend without even discussing how he felt with his present one? You wanna blame somebody? Blame yourself. "I'm not even supposed to be here today."

    [throws stuff at Dante]

    Randal Graves: You sound like an asshole! Jesus, nobody twisted your arm to be here today. You're here of your own volition. You like to think the weight of the world rests on your shoulders. Like this place would fall apart if Dante wasn't here. Jesus, you overcompensate for having what's basically a monkey's job. You push fucking buttons. Anybody can waltz in here and do our jobs. You... You're so obsessed with making it seem so much more epic, so much more important than it really is. Christ, you work in a convenience store, Dante! And badly, I might add! I work in a shitty video store, badly as well.

    [sighs]

    Randal Graves: You know, that guy Jay's got it right, man. He has no delusions about what he does. Us... we like to make ourselves seem so much more important than the people that come in here to buy a paper, or, God forbid... cigarettes. We look down on them as if we're so advanced. Well, if we're so fucking advanced, what are we doing working here?

  • Dante Hicks: You gonna lock the video store?

    Randal Graves: Look who you're asking, here.
