What a horrible movie. Sick, really. I remember at the time I was a sophmore in high school with leftist sensibilities, and so of course I conformed to the notion it was a brilliant film.

Perhaps we can now call the '90's the 'decade of deceit'? It seems that much of what that decade was about was deception.
