Review of Slacker (1990) by Erick F — 29 Oct 2010
A film that seems to be all the different thoughts, memories, and situations that director Linklater has experienced; portrayed through all the various scenes and characters in this flick. Because the movie is simply several different characters spewing existential thoughts off the top of their head, it's conceivable that this was Richard's first attempt towards a similar film of his entitled "Waking Life.".
"When young, we mourn for one woman... as we grow old, for women in general. The tragedy of life is that man is never free yet strives for what he can never be. The thing most feared in secret always happens. My life, my loves, where are they now? But the more the pain grows, the more this instinct for life somehow asserts itself. The necessary beauty in life is in giving yourself to it completely. Only later will it clarify itself and become coherent.".
