American Graffiti is not a soft soap film like its nostalgia predecessors. The end of the film, which is a mite too fanciful (with the college bound boy flying away on "Magic Carpet Airways"), is sober if not sobering. Everybody does not get his girl. But everyone does make his decision. One way or another, for one reason or another, the boys have taken their cards and Lucas will force each one to play them...
...choice of targets is virtually limitless--the other pre-meds who will deliberately tell you wrong information so you'll flunk an exam, the aesthetes who think talking politics is well, you know old boy, just a mite vulgar, the rock climbers and flower children who have experienced it all and the mindless future technocrats who actually care whether Scoop Jackson of Hubert Humphrey runs for president in '76.

Yet the slight was mild compared with the puerile and unsportsmanlike behavior that marked much of the series. Soviet team officials demanded that Canadian Coach Harry Sinden order Defenseman Gary Bergman to stop skating past baronial Russian Coach Vsevolod Bobrov during games, on the ground that Bergman was making menacing gestures and lewd comments...
