Review of Pump Up the Volume (1990) by Khris N — 04 Sep 2008
This was an excellent movie!!!!!
The ultimate teenage rebellion, angst and outspoken movie ever. Forget American Pie and all those other poser teen movies, this is the definitive rebel yell from one of the most rebellious Hollywood stars.
You have to love the soundtrack to the movie, it rocks hardcore. And so does the local pirate DJ, who happens to be a discreet, shy teen suffering in the prison which his life has become, and opens his mind and attitude to others in a literal "call to arms" to take back their lives, their identity, against a totalitarian school bent on eradicating their very souls.
Its a hard hitting, yet funny look at the repressed teens of our society and the unity of kids against their school, parents and government for limiting them, turning them into the opposites of what they really feel, what they really want.
Cause in the end, as the message goes, to be a teenager, to have a life, to have your own mind, to have an open minded education, to have the ability to think for yourself.... its a God given right to be YOU.
ENJOY!
