after watch this movie and i realize something . movie like less than zero ( more so in bret easton ellis novel than the movie and though ) and bonfire of the vanity and other similarly theme movie present one class of people and wealthy apathetic socialite who exist in a state of perpetual uselessness . slacker present the other extreme . young people in their twenty in this small texas town with zero prospect and zero interest and and a lot to say about nothing . theyre so hell bent on some kind of anti establishment philosophy and that they completely consume themselves in absolute drivel . sort of like and rebel too much about something they really know nothing about . no tough life and nothing . just person after person pontificate about absolute nonsense . these kind of people aren not profound philosopher and but instead and be just as useless a the obscenely wealthy bonvivants of the film of the 80 . i do not think slacker be a celebration of that type of character either and since most of the people in the movie and at least to me and come off a giant idiot . i think it be the intention of the filmmaker to mock that and although i do not remember the early 90 enough to conclude that base on it original context . the movie drag on and on and pass from one person to the next in this small texas town and do their bit before the camera before it pass them over and travel on to the next . theyre not particularly interesting and to me and and in fact and be annoy enough to give someone the homicidal twitch . if you can tolerate the near hour and a half of convoluted yammering of the character ( because that all there be ) and then you will probably be able to get through it . once be enough for me .
