Review of American Graffiti (1973) by Stefan G — 12 Oct 2013
For me, this is what it would be like if there was a teen movie that was essentially a documentary probing into teen movies, like a teen movie documentary within a teen movie. Maybe that sounds too metaphysical for comfort, but I say this mainly because it doesn't seem to depict its characters in an overtly positive light.
If you ask me, this is probably the most objective depiction of the 60's teen stereotypes we'll ever see in our lifetimes, and though American Graffiti isn't exactly a masterpiece, its style is certainly faithful to the central themes, using the music that was popular at the time which the movie is set.
