Swingers - the 90's "Hip" movie
I LOVE this movie! I love the comraderie between the men and the friendship and caring they have for each other. It is quietly comedic and makes me smile every time I watch it.
Here's one for the guys
This is guy movie I've always wanted to see. It felt like a biography on men. It tells us guys how to get women in bars and parties and get a sense of what goes on in certain types of guys heads. For examples...
The main character, Mike, is a guy who can't seem to get over his dumping of his ex-girlfriend. He moves to L.A. and his new friends try to get him a girl. He seems like he's lost his touch and that's where the love advice falls into place. I got a real sense of how some troubled guys can react to losing their special girlfriends.
But the highlight of this movie goes to Mr. Scene-Stealer..Vince Vaughn. There's nothing else I can say except this guy is one funny actor. He's got a great sharp-witted humor in this that makes me laugh non-stop. And he's still got it today.
So attention all guys out there, this is an indy-flick that has ALL of your names on it. Check it out and have fun with it.
Good philosophical theme
I've heard a lot of the dialogue in this movie from law school students in my class, and I never understood the origin until now. Quotes such as "Vegas, baby, Vegas." I had no idea where such comments arose. Apparently this is an often quoted movie, although you won't find me quoting it. Yes, the movie is of high quality, that is, if you are able to look deep enough into why it was made, and discover the various themes imbedded throughout the story.
The main theme is that people have expectations regarding certain events or people in their life. Typically, the expectation is larger than life and can consume much of our thinking. This happens quite often when the theme involves love: who is rational when in love? Very few. The mind becomes enamored with positive thoughts of the person, and these thoughts will sometimes interfere with other plans that one should be embarking upon. This movie truly centers on that theme, and is one reason why I rate it a 4.
