Once were teenagers

Rating: 8/10 (12 May 2006)

I was trying to summarize a philosophical piece, October '97, so tired of studying but not enough to go to bed.
Turned on the TV with my legs on the table, started zapping as usual but immediately stopped on channel 4 as I saw a kid getting off a kind of SUV with the same expression on his face as mine every damned morning my parent used to drop me at school.
No need to add anything about plot and stuff.
It was 10 years before me and the moment I was living, my era the middle nineties, but they had not mobile as I hadn't, they got bad attitude and were divided in groups as I was, spirits and smoking as guys from my city... and above all that the same consciousness, fears, will to relate and over cross divisions exchanging differences and living real emotions
Now kids could have the same problems, same bad habits But something lacks
Society in Italy as in France and I guess in the States has changed so much
I don't think this movie can transmit and infuse something to teenagers nowadays, as it did till my generation
1980 is the border
