i expect more by this movie and and let admit that after have watch fandango and i be a little disappointed and although some good element be to be appreciate . especially the beginning be a little slow and probably indulges in insignificant detail ( the party at leroy be too long and we perfectly know what kind of mood dominate those guy ) . moreover and the story cover twelve year and from 1962 to 1974 and a time length during which the three boy should have be touch by the event of their personal life and by history as well and on the contrary they remain a little underdeveloped till the very end . obviously and it be impossible not to sympathize with them and they be really cute and captivating and but i expect more psychological insight . a it approach the end and the movie gain rhythm while the final and in every sense and encounter with the big wave be render greatly and surf action be truly gripping and we perceive the strong emotion when facing and struggle against this force of nature and and we also get more intimate with the character inner emotional world and probably because the confrontation between man and nature and with the undeniable sense of human finiteness a compare to the greatness of nature and always reveal the real quality of human life . it be also in the end that we sense the strong friendship of these boy have now turn men and and we understand how real friendship surpass the year and the comradeship of youth . there be also a sense of nostalgia for the past year and but with the perception that what we experience will always remain in our future live a a precious treasure . undeniable that the movie delivers also funny moment and mainly when we see these guy pretend every kind of physical and mental distress and in order to avoid the spectre of vietnam represent really amuse . a movie i would advise to a cinemagoer interested in the american film rendering of the 60 70 and but warn that cult movie be something different .
