Cameron Sawyer wrote this screenplay . He also directed it . He also provides the voice over for Jake Nutty's character who is called Cameron Sawyer . Would I be correct in thinking this might be a short bio-pic on someone called Cameron Sawyer ? It's set in 1987 when the character of Cameron Sawyer becomes interested in girls . I do notice the real life biography of Cameron Sawyer doesn't give his year of birth but would I be right in thinking it might have been 1973 or 1974 ? My spidey senses are tingling
I've never been a fan of these " sweet " coming of age tales .which obviously puts me in a minority so small I could possibly be labelled unique in that sense . Mr Sawyer does use a stylistic tool common in cinema in 1987 and that is a contemporary soundtrack which if like me you can remember the 1980s as a teenager it seemed that the most important aspect of a film was the soundtrack . In fact looking back the average 80s film was a 90 minute for the soundtrack which was available in all good record stores and if someone saw a film back then they wouldn't have to tell you the title or the star they'd just tell you what the hit single was so need to mention TOP GUN or Tom Cruise just mention Take My Breath Away by Berlin and everyone knew what the film was . I don't to consult Wikipedia to realise Cameron has committed a massive blunder in using I Ran by Flock Of Seagulls which was a hit in 1982 and not 1987 . A deliberate mistake ? Maybe Cameron didn't want anyone to think this was a biopic ?
