Movie Reviews of Lucas
Movie Review: Not the Typical Teen Flick
Summary: 4 Stars
I never saw "Lucas" in the theaters, but it was rerun frequently in the late 80s and 90s on Fox on Saturday afternoons. I don't know that a more serious story has ever been offered to the teen audience--I can think of "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", but it doesn't have as wide a reality appeal for most."Lucas" is the story of a boy--promoted early to high school--who has an adult intellect with a child's understandings. His academic confidence has been his best friend, but he is willing to abandon it for the girl he has fallen in love with. It is the kind of film that should be taken more to heart; an exhibition in how the "other half" lives--both Lucas and the other suitors find they have allowed myths (of the high school kind) to keep them from understanding each other.
The music in this film is a treasure. Like "E. T.", the music conveys the emotions of the person--making a dramatic scene all that more tender (as in a fresh wound).
I don't approve of the language, and until it was relased on VHS/DVD I didn't realize it does have "that word", but it is a good conversation piece for adults (read: parents/caregivers/teachers) and children (13+).
