"I have graduated, remember?"
In George Lucas’s early work "American Style Paintings", Ron Howard played Xiao Shi, who hugged his girlfriend too tightly at the prom, was warned by the supervisor that Xiao Shi was the president of the student council, but he was uncharacteristically provoking teachers and teachers. Use power to punish him, so Xiao Shi has the above dialogue. He has always been a good student, and he did something slightly out of the ordinary only when he graduated. This kind of small confrontation has become a very good footnote to the movie. The film records the twelve hours of four young friends, Xiao Shi, Xiao Ke, Tao Zi and A Qiang, wandering around the city on a night before graduation and separation. The past and future of the character seem to freeze in this night. Freedom, confusion, turmoil, rebellion, the pursuit of illusory and beautiful things, these characteristics that transcend time and space, make this American youth story in 1962 not far away from me. Xiaoshi and Xiaoke are excellent graduates, and they get the opportunity to go to university in other places. Before Xiao Shi left, he planned to maintain a romantic relationship with his girlfriend, Luo Li, who was in a lower grade. However, they agreed that each other could associate with new friends separately. Luo Li was very annoyed. After this night, the two reconciled. Stay in my hometown for one more year before going abroad to study. Xiao Ke’s attitude is different from that of Xiao Shi. He is unwilling to leave his hometown and friends. On the other hand, he actually doubts his competitiveness and is still hesitant about the future before leaving. Xiao Ke had the richest experience this night. He was accidentally entangled by the bad boy gang, helping them steal money and teasing the police. After escaping, he found the local pirate radio station DJ Werewolf Jack’s launching station and asked him to help find someone. A mysterious girl who occasionally encounters a white thunderbird. Tao Tsai, who looks generally from family background, drove a Chevrolet sports car lent to him by Xiao Shi, and lied to the rich young master and soaked blonde beauty Debbie on the street. During this period, jokes were endless. The romantic dream of Ugly Duckling is finally coming to an end, Tao Zi confessed everything to Debbie. The bastard Aqiang is entangled by a young girl, Carol, who is still stinking. Aqiang loves racing and is the fastest driver in town. He is familiar with the local racing history and culture, but he respects life and does not risk doing dangerous things. Finally, he accepted the drag racing competition proposed to him by Harrison Ford from a neighboring town. The best part of the movie is that it vividly portrays the American style derived from rock music and car culture at that time. In the United States in the early 1960s, hippie culture had not yet risen, and the age of rock music had just begun. The story always takes place in a car, or in a dance party, and the protagonists love to listen to a music station hosted by DJ Werewolf Jack while driving. Werewolf’s funny style and excellent music taste are very popular among young people. These music are both The objective environmental sound can also play the role of the soundtrack, which makes it a bit more advanced compared to other similar hit movies (such as "Guardians of the Galaxy"). "American Style Painting" is like an excellent music album, playing pop music non-stop from the first second. The film begins with "Rock around the clock", which is known as the first rock music, and ends with "All Summer Long", which symbolizes the endless summer of the beach boys. The four male protagonists are assembled in a James Dean style using parallel editing. s story. These excellent music can easily bring me into the roles and share their experiences. For example, Aqiang and his little female companion stopped girls who were pranking on them at a street corner, sprayed paint on their cars and deflated tires, and the singing of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" matched the staged scene. In the movie, a crazy and funny revenge performance was performed, which is one of the most colorful passages of the movie. There are many interesting and interesting scenes in this film. I don't go into details one by one, I recommend you to watch them. Car culture is another highlight of the movie. For this reason, Lucas selected this cool model, the forgiving color Chevrolet of the history, the white Thunderbird of the mysterious girl, and the peculiar Ford modified car of Aqiang, etc., are the fifth protagonist of the film. Especially Thunderbird, as a classic and stylish luxury car, has appeared in many movies (such as "The End of the Road", "Scarface Man", etc.). The car restaurant "Mels" and the waitresses on rollers, which have appeared many times in the movie, are quite American and symbolic of the times. The fast-food restaurant uses an island-style layout in the parking lot, which makes it easy for guests to wait for their order. The car parked to the side, and the wide angle of the close-up was pulled, forming a unique perspective impact, which is the "spectacle" produced by the movie. Confused young people, old-fashioned style, innocent romantic adventures, drag racing, Lucas’s later "Star Wars" has the shadow and spirit of this movie, the only difference is that "American Style Painting" took place in the United States in the 1960s. The stage of the latter is the future outer space a long time ago. "Goode" singing in conjunction with the staged scene, performed a crazy and funny revenge performance, which is one of the most colorful passages of the movie.
