Ohh pulllease... it was a great movie, irrespective of the politics. Jeez... you'd think you could put your political idealism on the back burner for 2 hours.

It's a terrible movie. Boring, maudlin, and morally creepy.

In a way that only introspective Boomers can achieve.

Yes, I'm a Boomer

Really? I thought it was rather interesting how these idealistic hippies wrestled with the reality of the world.

For instance, when Kline's character berated Hurt's after being asked "when did you get so chummy with cops"

Or when Tilly's character referred to her indigent defendant clients as scumbags.

But perhaps you should stick with Pixar movies.

You're right, Huck. I saw it, and couldn't understand why it was popular -- it just caught the existential boomer angst of the time, I guess.
