like a memory

Roel 2022-03-16 09:01:04

"Adventureland" is a movie about a few young people in America in the 1980s.
The background music, the emotions of the hero and heroine, are like a memory.
My chest is full of emotions about youth, mixed with memories that have been falsified by fantasies in my brain. I was taken into the past that I can't go back to, the yearning for the future in the past, the music that I was addicted to in the past, the sky I looked up at and the wind blowing in the past.
I never worried about my memory being lost because I never felt it pass. When I suddenly realized the feeling that I was about to forget, I realized that the memory and time were passing away. Although occasionally it will come back to touch your soft heart, but maybe it will never come back and you will completely forget, like you never experienced, like you never recalled, like never touched.
Memory is euthanized.

    Two stars for the actor. . . It's a shame to take such a mentally retarded film. . .

    In general, imdb score is falsely high

Adventureland quotes

  • Joel: What's the point of being a writer or an artist anyway? Herman Melville wrote fuckin' Moby Dick, he was so poor and forgot by the time he died that in his obituary they called him Henry Melville. You know, like why bother? They're just going to forget our fuckin' names anyway. I heard Em went back to New York.

    James Brennan: I wish it didn't end like that, I should've - I don't know.

    [Beat]

    James Brennan: Your Herman Melville story that - that's bullshit.

    Joel: It's true, they called him Henry.

    James Brennan: No, I mean, he wrote a seven-hundred page allegorical novel about the whaling industry. I think he was a pretty passionate guy, Joel. I hope they call me Henry when I die, too.

    Joel: One can only hope

  • James Brennan: [Falco's Rock Me Amadeus song is played once again at the amusement park] Jesus Fucking Christ! They play this song like 20 times a day!

    Joel: Fucking sadists. Fucking sadists!
