this be a great film and if you be willing to be educate more so than entertain . there aren not any explosion and or bloody scene and or steamy sex and or anything of that nature . there be just a story about four people . i like this film because it be minimalist and and you have to get everything through suggestion . nobody come out and say anything and it be up to the viewer to get it . the cinematography be great and with one of the best example of the use of night and darkness to portray the film theme . though i be not from that generation and be bear ten year after the film be make and i be able to get a picture of the underlying political and social atmosphere of that time in american history . what a great film .
