I saw this movie in the theatre when it came out. I couldn't stop thinking about it after seeing it. I cried while watching it. It really affected me. Being a youth during this time is something that the youth of today can't understand. Just as I will never understand what it was like to be a young person living in the 60s, for example. So I'm not surprised about all the bad reviews on here that have been posted from the current decade. Sure, the characters could've been written better. They could've focused more on rainbows and lollipops, too. But this movie is something that mirrored the INTENSE feeling of the times and what people like myself experienced. So if you're someone who can look past the typical "movie critic complaining" and allow yourself to FEEL what this movie is intended to make you feel, then I believe you can enjoy it and appreciate it for all its worth.
