Line #20 YMMV/LiberalArts


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iloieie8QA "Me and the Mountain"]] by Team Me encapsulates not just the film's unfiltered theme of growing up and growing old, but also Jesse DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife for much of the film and his KnightInSourArmor outlook. The bridge also capture hints of Zibby's fear of the future.
3	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi5eRnVO_aI&list=PLhkALDv3ZHHS2by99XcMn0_rsDe54dmnX "The Poison Tree"]] by Music/{{Moby}} and Inyang Bassey plays during the OBB, highlighting Jesse's fleeting enthusiasm with life.
4	** The middle of the film is Jesse and Zibby discussing why ClassicalMusicIsCool, and several are used throughout the first TimePassesMontage:
5	*** Music/AntonioVivaldi's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ldhr7x8OsZs&list=PLhkALDv3ZHHS2by99XcMn0_rsDe54dmnX&index=3 "Vedrò con mio diletto"]], which Jesse likens as making him feel like in a sexy SpyFiction.
6	*** Music/RichardWagner's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4At9fe2De4Y&list=PLiko_gDTQIAZsu3eaxwkJIWQzBFhvLIAr&index=3 "Tannhäuser: Overture"]], which made Jesse appreciate everything surrounding him.
7	*** Music/WolfgangAmadeusMozart's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1war_8aQhKA&list=PLhkALDv3ZHHS2by99XcMn0_rsDe54dmnX&index=5 "Soave sia il vento"]], which Zibby (and then Jesse) describe as making everyone round them appear beautiful while listening to it.
8	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7qruPh6Xvo "Drive Home"]] captures Jesse's resolution after making peace with himself.
9	** The ending theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVd8tk78R00 Favorite Song]]" by Kaiser Cartel.
10	* BetterOnDVD: According to [[WordOfGod Radnor himself]], the movie is better in it because it contains a total of 20 minute {{Deleted Scene}}s.
11	* CultClassic: It only got a limited release in the U.S. and barely made over half of its estimated budget, but people who've seen it (including critics, such as Creator/RogerEbert) speaks greatly of it.
12	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The film got double of its domestic earnings from its international profit (particularly in Australia and Europe).
13	* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: The film's main praise stems from the cast's surprisingly strong performances, particularly, Creator/ElizabethOlsen, Creator/JoshRadnor, Creator/RichardJenkins, Creator/ZacEfron and Creator/JohnMagaro.
14	%%* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The film is ''packed'' with these.
15	%%** Any scenes of Jesse and Dean.
16	* HilariousInHindsight:
17	** In ''Film/PitchPerfect'', [[Creator/SkylarAstin a Jesse]] ends up with an Creator/{{Anna\|Camp}}... but not the Creator/{{Anna\|Kendrick}} who's also in ''Film/{{Twilight}}'', sadly.
18	** [[Creator/RichardJenkins Professor Hoberg's]] [[Film/TheCabinInTheWoods cabin is in the woods]].
19	** When [[Creator/ZacEfron Nat]] took Jesse to a party where they see Zibby, she's with a friend who's name is Creator/{{Vanessa\|Hudgens}}.
20	** Jesse's dilemma on whether to have a relationship with Zibby due to their age-difference [[spoiler:before ultimately deciding on rejecting her]] becomes this when Creator/ElizabethOlsen's later on-screen partner in the [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse MCU]], Creator/PaulBettany, turned out to be actually older than Creator/JoshRadnor.
21	*** Speaking of which, Creator/ElizabethOlsen would [[Film/Oldboy2013 later be paired]] with another older actor named Creator/{{Josh\|Brolin}}. And unlike in this film, her AgeGapRomance with the other Josh is ''[[SurpriseIncest definitely]]'' not appropriate.
22	* JustHereForGodzilla:
23	** Many ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' fans were curious to see Creator/JoshRadnor's [[Film/{{Happythankyoumoreplease}} second]] [[DescendedCreator directorial and starring vehicle]].
24	** At the time the film was released, Creator/ElizabethOlsen was a rising star, only a year fresh off her breakthrough performance in ''Film/MarthaMarcyMayMarlene''. And since her films since were {{Horror}} or a PsychologicalThriller, many were intrigued to see her in a LighterAndSofter film. When Olsen's popularity became mainstream following ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', newer fans inevitably also checked on her previous works.
25	* MemeticMutation: The clip of Zibby telling Jesse they should hug has become popular in social media sites around the late 2010s. It's usually used in every Mental Health Awareness Month.
26	* OneSceneWonder: Nat steals [[ChewingTheScenery every scene]] he is in.
27	* RetroactiveRecognition:
28	** The film came out when Creator/ElizabethOlsen was a rising star in the independent film scene, with this being only a year after her breakthrough performance in ''Film/MarthaMarcyMayMarlene''.
29	** Creator/JohnMagaro would soon get his breakthrough performance with his following film, ''Film/NotFadeAway'', and would later become noticed in the mainstream scene with his works in ''Film/TheBigShort'', ''Film/{{Carol}}'', ''Series/TheUmbrellaAcademy2019'', and ''Film/FirstCow''.
30	* SignatureScene: Zibby telling Jesse they should hug in an empty theater and Jesse [[AgeGapAlgebra computing his and Zibby's age difference]] on a piece of paper are the most remembered scenes in the film.
31	* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The film's emphasis over the ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'' saga's popularity and HypeBacklash makes it obvious it came out around the late 2000s to early 2010s.
32	* WatchItForTheMeme: Some later viewers got to know the film thanks to the hug scene above.
