Every now and then somebody prOdneeS

One reeMlp Movie the* Mere real than
Hollywood is Breaking. AWay - very
ordinary story about, fear American
teenagers growing tip, Bloomingtoa,
' Indiana in the 1970s.
What makes Breaking Away a special
slice of life is that the Iona boys ,are at a
crticial piaint in their lives- TheY`ve
completed Grade 1Z and know it,'s unlikely
they'll ever go on to the hry-eovered halls of
the local university. The jobs that Iie in
wait for them vary slightly from working in
a grocery gore to washing the college MOS*
sports ears at the local car wash. With
• these rather unappealing options ahead.
the boys make a kind a unspoken, pact to
• hang around for the year:. swimming in the
old stone quarry where their fatherS once
worked, tearing through the university
campus in a souped -up car and generally
• killing time until they're forced to grow up.
SUCCESS!
• These kids are the ones that don't
qualify for our dream of NOrtkAmeriean
success the dream that say's yu
automatically pass from high school to
university, and after four golden years
• there, either go on to graduate school or to
a job that buys you a lovely home in the
• suburbs, a beautiful bride and 1,5 children
and time to pursue an endless variety of
leisure activities on the weekend.
What makes Breaking Away a better-
than,.averagg movie is the one character,
gamed Dave, who's the kind of dreamer
who manages to add *little rorpance10 life

BICYCLE RACE
Now the climax ef the movie, which I
don't want t give away, revolves around a
bicycle race between, the four boys or
"cutters" as they're cruelly nicknamed, in
reference to the old stone quarries, and the
fraternity teams front the university.

the edge of their seat as the cyclists fly

exeee4ing the speed limits .11owed on
many area roads.
The charm of Breaking Away. aside from
•* happy ending, and some humorous
scenes we'll all recognize, is that everyone
has endured that awful time when you
reallae, sooner or later that you have to
grow up, One of the great sorrows am is
dig, like death and taxe,s,. becerning an
adult, is pretty well inevitable.
Now when, I finished high sChOol, 1 Was
one of these kids who kaew everything.they
dida't want to be I didn't want to teagh, I
dida't want to be a nurse, and1 *het want
to work in an office. At the same tiMet
also' didn't see any point in getting, any
more education - after five years in high
school 1 pretty well knew the world's store
of knowledge.
Si AN. HOLM:
My solation was to jump, right into the
• working world as the assistant clerk in the
book department of a local stationery store,
earning the n,unificent sum of 51 an hour.
After I'd conquered the first week's sore
legs, learned how to look totally absorbed
• while standing doing nothing, and master -
,e4 the science of always treating the
• customer with kid gloves (even When you
knew the person's demand was impossible)
1 decided the working world wasn't such a
terrible 'palce to be. I was allowed to take
• home any books from the stock 1 wante.d to
• read, Could eat lunch in a. restaurant
Whenever the mood, took Me, and even
started.saving for a car,
Then disaster struck! The disaster was.
Grade l3 graduation. In my borrOwed
formal, and tight shoes, I managed to get
from work to the school just in time to slip/
.into the class picture. Behind me, I heard
tales about the, initiation rites at the various
' universities, partying in residence rooms,
• and all sorts of other romantic whisperings.
Girls 'who had rarely dated in high'
school, suddenly showed up at graduation
with a handsome looking stranger on their
• arms -a college student. My formerly
ordinary classmates were talking about'
going into law, becoming a doctor or
travelling through Europe - the kind of
dreams all feshirien are heir to.
