American Graffiti didn't depict boomers, they were kids who had graduated high school in 1962, that was Silent Generation.
It's referred to as a nostalgia movie, which on one hand seems fitting if you've watched it, but on the other hand, it was written in 1972 about a period in time ten years older. Would a movie screenplay written today by a 28 year old depicting being an 18 year old in 2015 be seen as nostalgic in the same way?
- JKCalhoun 1y agoI realize that. It depicted 1962 — I was born a few years later. I meant to use it as an example that it has always been generations holding on to their formative years, not just boomers (there are just a lot more of them).
