I loved this movie - it actually tells a human and believable story. And any parent who has loved a kid who has hurt them with their obnoxious behavior understands this movie to its core.
And any adult who, as a child, was hurtful to their parents does as well. As I grew wiser, I apologized to them, more than once. An amazing and lovely story.
JB, Well done. Made me think about free tuition for a second, which was how I got lured to college full time...my father was a teamster on the grounds crew. Children of full-timers got 'free tuition'.
I thought about this a lot as well. A similar situation takes place in Stephen King’s opus 'Hearts in Atlantis, where a mixture of working class white kids at a college in Maine nearly lose their draft deferments because they fall into compulsive gambling in a non-ending penny-a-point Hearts game that threaten their future by flunking, Vietnam, and uncertain death (isn’t it always?).
Wealth matters when it comes to being sent off to war and that is the situation Angus Tully is facing going into Christmas break in the snowy and cold New England Winter of 1970. It's a subtle way the film reveals that it's poor kids and those misalligned with their parents' generation being sent over to die for a cause almost none of them believe in any more. All of that social turmoil is working under the scenes of this movie.

I agree completely.
