There’s a kid out there who experienced a summer a lot like this in 2008 too going into freshman year. I wonder if that person (who would be in their early 30s) looks back on that summer every week, or just in general. Would it all just be a blur? Would it all be remembered? Probably not. The present especially in high school does not really matter. When you look back at nostalgia you remember good things, not the bad moments and even if you do you’ll laugh at how you reacted or how you felt knowing it’s over.
I also want to point out the attention to detail, there were so many little details that someone could relate to like from, like when Chris would be retyping something to just how he would react to information. This was genuinely a very mature coming of age movie, which always is the best because coming of age is hard, and it should definitely seem like it even if it’s just Fiction.
