Downloadhub |Top10 latest Hollywood and Bollywood Movies
Greetings from the dark again. Richard Linklater's more than twenty-five years as a filmmaker are loosely linked to his constant desire to study and observe how people interact (or not) in society. Watch full Hollywood and Bollywood Movies online anytime at downloadhub. In what the director has called a "spiritual sequel" to his cult classic Dazed and Confused, he takes us down memory lane to a college campus as the 1970s turned into the 1980s.
The cinematic kinship goes beyond Dazed
Many of these characters and moments are undoubtedly drawn from Linklater's own experiences as a college baseball player at Sam Houston State (after graduating from Bellaire High School). Linklater knows these guys. He was one of those guys! The cinematic kinship goes beyond Dazed and Confused, and the influence can be seen as a sequel to his film Boyhood with a little Animal House flavor and a dose of Bull Durham.
Conversations and activities focus on three things
The film opens with Jake (Blake Jenner) pulling up to a
baseball house in his 442-muscle car while The Knack's "My Sharone"
blares from his car stereo. What follows is a glimpse into the
behind-the-scenes tribal nature of a sports team and its interplay with the
predictable way 18-21-year-olds cope with the sudden jolt of freedom.
Conversations and activities focus on three things: baseball, girls, and
beer... priorities change depending on the circumstances of the moment. But the
ultra-competitiveness of these people, bred to be the best, is not lost.
Whether it's nervous basketball in the living room, table football at the bar,
or shooting, the goal at that moment is to be better than the other... Even a
friendly game of ping-pong becomes hyper-intense as the match point approaches.
Plays elder statesman and team
spiritualist Willoughby
Linklater has assembled a superb cast that manages to capture not only the period but also the essence of the age group. Some of the faces will be familiar, and each of the characters fits this profile well. Tyler Koechlin (Tom Hanks' son in Road to Perdition) is team captain McReynolds, Wyatt Russell (Kurt and Goldie's son) plays elder statesman and team spiritualist Willoughby, Justen Street (former Longhorn player) is the absent-minded, over-enthusiastic first-stringer, J. Quinton Johnson is the at times rational second-line player, and Glen Powell stands out as the smooth-talking and philosophical Finnegan... also a master of the leap.
Young people are very representative of
each generation
Despite the
ever-present quest for the girls, Zoey Dutch’s Beverly is the only female
character given much screen time, and she makes the most of it as the smart,
ambitious young Jake's love interest. I’ve always thought that the music of our
young people is very representative of each generation. Linklater seems to
agree (the soundtrack is spot-on), as this band oscillates between disco
idleness, the sterile and soulless transition to urban cowboy country, and the
desperate pleas of young punk rock.
Linklater ensures that cohesive
teammates fill
In the three days, we're with the guys, they take their athleticism to every event and even crash a party thrown by Beverley's "artistic and rebellious" band. Finding out who fits where is a ritual not to be missed. Linklater ensures that our cohesive teammates fill our ears with an endless stream of jokes, witty remarks, and insults, each designed to register dominance - if only for a brief moment.
Linklater gives the best glimpse yet
We even see a
sequence where the players play ball, and although their tone drops when they
take the field, their personalities remain evident. Not only has the show added
'f***wither' to our vocabulary, but it's also brilliant and engaging in its own
right. Album and book covers, cars (with Gremlins), stereos, and costumes all
give the film a necessary sense of underdevelopment. Be sure to check out the
fun for this weekend at 7starhd. Although the film lacks a real plot and
is meandering (as are its characters), Linklater gives the best glimpse yet of
the young male primate chase of 1980. It's not always pretty or something to be
proud of
