022. (Re)watch each of AFI's Top 100 Movies - (006/100)
I'm impressed that #95 The Last Picture Show (1971) was filmed in the 70s.  If I didn't know better, I could have sworn it was contemporary with Rebel Without a Cause.  I'm so fascinated by mid-century, small-town life.  Did most people feel trapped, or secure?  This film places all of its characters well within the "trapped" category, and I can certainly identify with that.  I wonder if I would've felt the same in that situation, or if I would have been more content without the pressure to achieve bigger and better things...
