Nostalgia for American Graffiti

A movie review from Viviane
Nostalgia for American Graffiti

In the spirit of Flashback Friday, Throwback Thursday, and nostalgia weekend, comes the best coming of age nostalgia film – American Graffiti.

This film is best for those who have recently graduated high school, especially in these times. We follow a group of friends and their struggle to decide to leave for college or stay home for a while. George Lucas, an unknown filmmaker at the time, created a scene that we all remember going through, or are going through right now.

Should I go to college? What is out there for me? Wouldn’t it be safe to stay in my hometown?

This film may be nearly 50 years old, but it is about something we all struggle with today.

Sit down and watch this film to live in the nostalgia of an earlier time. For recent grads, sit down and watch this film to know we’ve all gone through the same thing.
