A movie that keeps getting referenced that I hadn’t seen.
I recalled writing about this on my other blog close to the time I watched it and looked it up:
“American Graffiti acknowledges the nightmare aspect of things, but is like a dream where things keep working out well, in fact just as they should ....Cindy Williams, who plays the female lead in the movie, is the most appealing romantic lead -- not in an objective sense, but speaking subjectively -- since, hmm, Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday?”
My response at the time to Williams’s performance seems more enthusiastic and colored by the moment than it was objective. I did like her performance though. I found the movie deeply good-humored, and it had a hyper-focused feel—again, dream-like—that perhaps the first Star Wars (also directed by Lucas) has too and that makes viewing feel like eating candy.
