About This Movie
High Schools is a fascinating dive into the American education system of the 1980s, capturing the raw essence of student life in seven different high schools. The documentary flows with a kind of observational style, revealing the unique cultures and challenges faced by students across various regions. You can really feel the pulse of that time, with the film's pacing allowing for moments of reflection amid the chaos of teenage life. Guggenheim brings Boyer’s insights to life, showcasing both mundane and profound experiences that ring true even today. It's not just about the schools themselves but what they represent in the broader context of American society. The way it handles such a wide range of stories gives it a distinctive quality, making it worth revisiting.
