the deeper premise of cemetery junction is really quite simple to embrace. do we stay in our small town, live in our childhood house with our parents until the age of 23 or until we get married or stay there forever? would leaving school at 14 bodes well for the future? for the young men of cemetery junction - bruce, freddie, paul/snork - the landscape appears bleak. but comparing and contrasting their escapades to the youth of my upbringing, their predicaments and prospects are not too bad. whereas not finishing high school in the RP is tantamount to poverty, especially if one is not born with a collection of silver spoons in the kitchen cupboard.nonetheless, this film should have yielded more accolades or at least a worldwide distribution. but the dilemma of whether to choose being a salesman or to travel the world bereft of pocket money, is not avatar or the twilight movies although Christian Cooke could easily give Robert Pattinson some serious competition.
