Clerks (1994)

INTELLIGENT! WITTY! HILARIOUS! BRILLIANT!

This movie is a perfect example of the power of writing. It's very low budget and mainly takes place inside of a convenience store. Kevin Smith's characters in this film are all so strong, very reminiscent of Richard Linklater's style of writing. They are extremely intelligent and rational with each other as if they are obeying some supreme form of logic. They speak so open and free and most importantly with purpose and confidence. The message is simple, truth is the easiest and most efficient way of life. Don't lie to yourself, take full control of your freedom and believe in yourself. I recommend this movie especially to anyone interested in film making, and also to anyone who loves very articulate conversation.

9/10

VERDICT: ADD IT TO YOUR COLLECTION!
