Napoleon Dynamite

gosh this movie is awesome. the soundtrack is fire and i’m literally listening to it while writing this. it’s the epitome of a quotable movie and i so badly wish i had grown up with it. what i did love as a kid though was nacho libre, also directed by jared hess. throughout the movie i saw glimpses of my own childhood in the awkwardness and failures of the main characters. that dance scene is epic and iconic, especially knowing it was improvised. one day i will learn that dance this movie captures the very essence of boredom and mediocrity. it follows the daily life of a dorky guy doing ordinary things in a small town. it’s a tribute to the everyday moments you have no reason or desire to remember. not your typical coming of age story, it’s a unique, comedic masterpiece that celebrates the humour in everyday life. and apparently there’s an animated adaptation too. definitely watching that asap
