Who has not seen "Reality Bites"? While it is not critically-acclaimed nor has it won any Oscars, it will always be remembered as that definitive coming-of-age film for the Gen X. I was in fourth grade when it first came out-- definitely not anywhere near 20, but I got to watch it on a rented VHS with my childhood friend since we both have a huge girl crush on Winona and after watching it we kind of liked Ethan Hawke too.
Watching the film takes you to the laid-back and grungy looks and style of the 1990s. Before, you can go for a night-out wearing loose shirts, jeans and really dirty hair--- you have made an effort if you go out on a printed dress and just an inky red lip stain. Now everything is so fresh and clean and glossy which can be too much at times don't you think? Despite different tastes in aesthetics, twentysomethings of this generation can definitely relate in the sentiments, joys and frustrations of Lelaina Pierce and Co., not to mention the reverberating chorus of Lisa Loeb's "Stay" playing somewhere in our confused lives.
