Pump Up the Volume

and again christian slater gives a great preformance in a movie remeberable for generation. a movie which new generation new teenagers will grow upon a fascinating script of how to get in in the world that surrounds us. great job christian!!

Recently I saw the movie "Good morning, Vietnam", and I understood this was much like "Pump Up The Volume", some kind of its ancestor, you know. But since I saw PUTV first, I liked it more that GMV. May be that's because I'm from generation of 80's, nether of 60's. Anyway, you know, I got a job on a radio station after seeing PUTV. It was fun, but... Couldn't do what Mark deed in the movie. (Sorry guys). As for me, PUTV in the best Slater's movie. The guy's young, still has urge to fight... Unfortunatley, these times passed. Such tricks never gonna work again, But... who knows... 10/10. Actors work, screen play and the real spirit of late 80's-early 90's. The wind of change!

This is a great flick about high school angst finding its outlet in a pirate radio personality, Happy Harry Hard on. An Arizona high school adopts him as their spokesman. The PTA gets involved when things get serious. One super cheesy character, the perfect daddys girl, is something I got a big laugh out of. Slater is cool, Mathis is awesome. The ending builds to something where most films like it would fall apart sour, but this thing comes off sweet.

When I saw the first minutes of the movie ,I thought: "what a boring low budget movie" but when slater started his radio programme I got more and more convinced that this comes strait to the point in what kind of problems teenagers have in these days - the same as in the 60`s... I favoured especially the criticism on the parents who were proud on the "wild 60`s"; I mean the 60`s had a great soundtrack and style but they didn´t change to much in the society. I also liked his sharp comments on the mean headmistress and the school consultant.
