10 Amazingly Profound Quotes About Life From Richard Linklater Films

10. Has Faith In Groups - Slacker

"You know, that's what I hate; when you start talking like this, like you just pull in these things from the shit you read, and you haven't thought it out for yourself, no bearing on the world around us, and totally unoriginal." 

Slacker is Linklater's first feature film and is pretty much the thing he does best. It's an entire film made up of conversations that serve no purpose to any plot, but are simply fascinating in themselves. 

There are some many unique characters in the film and even just seeing them chat for a short amount of time, it's easy to get a picture of what kind of people they are. This is a particularly good line about how people love to regurgitate stuff they've read instead of making original thoughts. We need to think for ourselves and this remains ever-relevant in today's internet-obsessed world.
