Joining the Movie Brats, Explained:fraternity of directors

People from different places say they were always happy together. "When we got together, it was like a fraternity of directors." One line adds that getting into the Movie Brats was the first time the speaker felt like an insider, and a car phone stunt that now looks silly felt like a miracle then.

あらすじ

Someone lists George, Francis, Marty, and Steven, then says they came from different places and were happy together, like a fraternity of directors.

Footage then shows Amy Irving, a couple who split and got back together, Steven called a nerd, and a car phone that seemed like a miracle but now seems silly.

「Joining the Movie Brats」を読み解く

What's really going on

The grouping is the point. They came from different places, but "needless to say, we were always very happy to be together," and "When we got together, it was like a fraternity of directors." The wording is a comparison, not the name of a formal club. The insider line is sharper: "it was the first time I felt like an insider," after getting into the Movie Brats, "as somebody once called us." The nickname came from outside. Belonging arrived only once he was in. Later a couple meets, splits, and gets back together; Amy is then half dressed, sewing Steven's pants. Steven is called a nerd, not into sports, drugs, or rock 'n' roll, while his talk about film is "infectious." The car phone bit works the same way. They call a girl up, she says fine, and then they are parked right outside her house. "It may seem extremely silly now, but in those days it was like a miracle."

When I got into the group of the Movie Brats, as somebody once called us, I never-- it was the first time I felt like an insider.

Joining the group others nicknamed the Movie Brats is the moment the speaker first feels he belongs on the inside, not outside it.

He used to love to talk about film, and it was infectious, his enthusiasm.

The nerd label sits next to this. His excitement about film spreads to the people around him.
