Big Wednesday

Big Wednesday

Starring: Jan-Michael Vincent
Director: John Milius

Warner Home Video | April 20, 2004 | DVD

Theatrical release: 1978 Filming locations: California and Hawaii. BIG WEDNESDAY takes place in five acts: South Swell (summer 1962), West Swell (1965), North Swell (summer 1968), Great Swell (spring 1974), and finally Big Wednesday (1977). BIG WEDNESDAY was released the same year as THE DEER HUNTER (which looked at the Vietnam war through the eyes of a group of friends in Pennsylvania), and its political content was amplified by the comparison between the two films. There is rumored to be an R-rated version of the film, never shown in the U.S., from which 8 minutes of rescue scenes and dialogue between Sally and Bear were cut in order to achieve a PG rating.

Description

Writer/director Milius usually dwells in a macho world of action; this brooding on the waning of youthful dreams and bravado feels awfully close to the heart. Set in the sunny surfing colony of Malibu, the first half of the film paints the joy of freedom on the waves. The second, post-Vietnam half depicts the painful road to maturity.
