@kerrlockhart Well said... So true!
Thank you.

@hammerogod The camera shot itself invoked an aura of reverence.

So true to life it kinda hurts to watch, but I do.Only film remotely like it for reality is Dazed and confused,though a completly different time period. Also see the original film version of Friday Night Lights.Notice how all involve Texas.

I'll bet that tank is not 5 feet deep. Horses would have a hard time swimming. Forget the horses and get back to skinnydipping.

If ever an Oscar was earned in the history of the 'Academy' Ben Johnson earned his.
What a masterpiece of acting.
Flawless, Mesmerizing, Effective, Memorable, Perfect, Utterly Convincing.
I love you Ben...and I miss you.

most poignant coming of age film ever

@OBDjFH05 I too love this scene. It's really, really powerful.

@kerrlockhart I think I watch this scene about 2 or 3 times a month. I love the way he sees the past go by in his mind's eye...the way the camera moves in to capture the young man who he used to be, and then pulls back to represent what he's become...LOVE THAT SCENE!
When I first saw this at age 16, it gave me my first glimpse of the sadness of time passing. Now that I am 54, I can barely look at it for all the beautiful times gone by in life. I want to weep, in sorrow for time, and in joy for the artistry of Johnson and Bogdanovich. Thank you, Mr. B.

being crazy about a woman like her is always the right thing to do.
