The Spectacular Now gets it. It gets the heartbreak, it gets the disillusion, it gets the lifestyle, it gets the emotion, it gets the tragedy; wonderfully honest, beautiful, and unbearably tragic, The Spectacular Now is one of the finest films ever made about 'teenagers.'
However, this isn't a surface level teen movie. Sure, there's a prom scene and some cliche discussions, but the film is about so much more. It just feels so goddamn real in every aspect. The subtle direction, the slight use of makeup, the way the story unfolds, the screenplay; It all culminates in a work that feels raw, personal, and yet utterly engrossing.
Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley. Holy shit. Their chemistry is so electrifying that…
2013 seems to be the year of the coming of age film. First Mud, then The Kings of Summer and finally I had the pleasure of allowing the nostalgic honesty and painful recognition of The Spectacular Now wash over me. And of the three it is my favourite.
When I was about protagonist Sutter's age, life was complex and pretty tough for me. I sort of lived by an 'it's better to burn out than to fade away' mentality. At that age, not knowing where you're going isn't that big of a problem, not seeing anything worth going towards is awful. It's not that I recognised anything in Sutter's character or situation, but his plight and outlook on life and…
I like the way the movie shows the use of alcohol in adolescence. In other movies teens, goes unnoticed, used only for comic scenes. But in this movie the alcohol influences in the most dramatic moments it is the key point in the main actions of the character Sutter, No It can be left unnoticed that the alcohol in this film, as in real life, portrays a temporal palliative increasingly used among Teenagers to exonerate themselves from responsibility for their acts, and this is spectacular in this film, bringing to the reflective side, since many young people They find themselves at this point in their lives when they do not know what they want and are stationed, hiding like Sutter, behind their peers, ex girlfriends, a half-bad job and saying "The best is now"
The good thing is that the end shows that there is hope.
Life changes drastically for a person who loses a loved one. Be it parting by way of death or separation, from a lover, a soul mate or from a parent, it is a loss that is irrevocable and has a telling effect on the person's perception of life, of the people around him and most importantly his approach and interpretation of love itself. The potency of the consequence that losing in love brings to a person can be evaluated based on when it happens in a person's life time. Fortunately or unfortunately if it occurs at a very young age, time and memory heal the scars very soon. If it occurs at middle or old age, the efficacy of the…
Totally get why everybody I know only has positive things to say about this movie. Really nice performances by Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley (more on them in a sec), sensitive, solid direction by James Ponsoldt, a familiar story that somehow seems fresh and new...
So what's holding back that extra half (or full) star I'd love to tack on? I guess what lingers for me is Teller's extremely rushed epiphany and Woodley's Aimee being too much of a cypher. She may be "the film’s true lynchpin," as Scott Tobias put it, but her need for Sutter's approbation and affection -- how her will is consistently suppressed -- doesn't necessarily make her a great dramatic character, even if it all…
For the record this is when Amazon showed I rented it, not when I actually watched it
sutter is the most unlikeable main character i’ve ever seen portrayed on film. idc about your daddy issues just be a decent human being. and fuck aimee for even considering talking to him after the accident smh
Ugh, I love teens!
Appreciated this so much more on a second viewing. While the ending still disappoints me, and the whole "I'm a guy and I ruin everything" trope is all beat + dead + horse, it moves so naturally with the warmest energy, and just fills you up. I love soaking in it. And what a fucking CAST man!
Wish more movies felt this soft and cozy. Like velvet, but for your eyes. And heart
Sånn film du ser aleine datta. Trist når du egentlig tenke øve da lol XD
Favorittkarakter: Han hovedkarakteren, spele bra i whiplash og
Favorittscene: Siste, ekstremt rørande
This movie is so underrated... it’s an honest, smart and raw coming-of-age story on a wonderfully realistic scale, unaffected and perfectly cast.
A beautiful piece of filmmaking.
