This article describes the experience after drive-ins were closed. When the history is not able to restore, people use their own way to store their memory.
In this article, writer has interviewed a few famous people about how they feel about drive-ins, such as Australian master of the poetry of the suburbs, Bruce Dawe and Melbourne songwriter, Billy Baxter. They watch movies and have fun in drive-ins. âThe death of the Toorak drive-in was an unexpected inspiration for Sonia Clerehan, whose recent exhibition at the Stuart Gerstman Galleries in Richmond featured 19 paintings, all with drive-in screens as the main image.â She recalled âSeeing this has quite a dramatic impact and I got dragged along painting these drive-in screens.â
We have to accept the fact, some drive-ins have already gone. We might use our painting or other methods to memorize the past, and say goodbye to the past lifestyle. For example, Toorak Drive-in had already been demolished. Painters use their painting to describe the history.
