I found it a bit odd to put "Turn-Turn-Turn" by The Byrds over the riot scenes. The early days of Vietnam protest and the Watts riots are recreated very well also but are not as graphic,as done in other films. Pirate,for being a delinquent,sure is a quiet one.at least until later. The actor who plays the principal is okay but should have played it a bit stronger. Pirate is he school's delinquent who is always at odds with Principal Maran (they call him moron of course). His emotional breakdown at "Pops" was done quite well along with the scene with his character's father. He's almost first billed but doesn't do as much as I though he would. Now,Rick Schroder is a good actor,not great like say Johnny Depp or (I can finally say without laughing)Leonardo DeCaprio. Still,I think it could be a good introductory film for young people to watch as a way to teach them about this era.Ī great plot idea to set it around the closing of the favorite high-school hang out,complete with one of those fun but at times annoying DJ's (The Beard),who used to talk in rhyme! Places like "Pops" stand as a symbol of the innocence of the previous era that was soon to be lost.
THERE GOES MY BABY MOVIE MOVIE
It was pretty entertaining but this particular plot was done on a stronger level in the TV movie "The 60's" a few years back and as mentioned "American Graffitti". Unlike Steve,I like it quite a bit more.Īlthough I will agree that,yes,we've gone down this memory lane before at the movies and truthfully I'd never even heard of it. So,much like Steve-O who just posted his review today,I just last night 11pm watched this film. Saturday Night the movies w/"There Goes My Baby".After seeing this movie it seems that the golden sixties were never that golden and the youth had as much trouble as they have today! Highly recommended. This movie is a-must-see for everyone who wants to know how it was in 1965 when America lost her innocence. Dialogue is not needed because the songs of that era say it with more passion and determination than any scripted dialogue could ever do. A great asset of this film is the use of the music from 1965. They are all very convincing in their role and they glue very well together. Nevertheless the performance and drive of each actor is superb especially Dermot Mulroney, Rick Schroder and pre-E.R. The movie never explains why these students act the way they act or what their motive is to do something.
There is no real depth of caracter or background. The difficulty of this kind of movie is that there are several students that are being followed so each story is very thin spread during the course of the movie. At the end of the movie not many dreams have come true. Each character represents a different aspect of the American society. Each of these students have their hopes and dreams. college, tour of duty in Vietnam, discovering the real America by car, becoming a music-star or a member of the flower-power movement in San Francisco. The movie shows us the last day and evening of the class of '65 where the boys and girls are together before they take off to the real world i.c. Austin Powers: It's Shagadelic "Shagadelic, baby."There Goes My Baby" (title of a 1965 song) is one of the many movies that deals with the end of an era in this case: the American innocence established between the end of WWII and the murder of President Kennedy. But there are some that are markedly more hilarious than others, based not only on the words but also the context and how they were said. They're the types of lines that are instantly recognizable as soon as they are uttered. There are so many, it's tough to pare things down to just a few. There are so many quotes from the films that people continue to repeat to this day. 2021 by Christine Persaud: No matter how much time has passed, the Austin Powers movies remain pop culture gems. Evil (also played by Myers) deliver the absolute best one-liners and witty retorts through the three films. Admittedly, it’s hard to pick since there are so many great lines, comments, and retorts, but here are some of the greatest. Lusting for life and love, always up for a good time, highly sought after 'International Man of Mystery' Powers is initially called upon after being cryogenically frozen for 30 years.

Like pretty well any Mike Myers movie, all of the Austin Powers movies are seriously quotable.
