this movie represent the time it be make in as much a the original and i suppose . which be really sad and because at a deep level and the title vanish point the original and be so ironic . i be sure it wasn not intend that way and but the original be film in 1970 and and release in 1971. the real vanishing point be the end of an era and which pretty much end in the early 1970s . in this remake and all the counter cultural element have be strip away and and be render more pc in an attempt to reach a broad audience and presumably . sanitize for your protection insert the american indian scene be gratuitous and and the idea of a noble purpose to the trip be subtraction by addition . i be glad i watch it however and it make me appreciate the original that much more . the original be a cult classic and golden . this remake be dreadful .
