Leave. The 60's did just that. The white power thing is amusing and clashes with the noble liberal. Remember them?

We can learn a lot from this movie, which is probably why the controllers are determined to remove and revise history in order to keep us in the dark and fending off incomprehensible personal attacks without the means to reject via experience.

The modern confused nihilist would do well to re acquaint themselves with old movies, even political ones. Our indoctrinated cynicism leaves us hapless slaves that accept, never question and fear everything, but mostly social isolation.

So it is ironic that the isolated know everything, cannot change their views and live a life leaving a trail of irresponsibility, sadness and destruction, managed only by the surprisingly free p0rn, b00ze and freedom loving b4bi k1lling feminists.

Yet there was a time when people valued families, neighbours and communities. It was never perfect but the media mocked it and tempted the young away from it until degeneracy and nihilism became the norm ..80's?

Now we have established that, enjoy the mesmerising Woodward and Newman's slow attraction to her knowing but carefree existence. She does not offer tradition and since he would rather see it broke than fixed there is no fight there.

Until the noble liberal, charismatically portrayed by Perkins decides that violence will show up the evil for who they are. With Woodward's unfortunate unnecessary arrest , the messy results leave us to believe his reasons maybe buried in the small print the next day.

The cynical hero moves on, only Newman could pull this off without the audience baying for Rheinhart's blood.

The story flows and is another timepiece.Worth catching and learning from.

However for me, the highlight is Neil Diamond's Glory Road. Almost (!) on a par with He ain't heavy. Diamond's world weary lyrics fitted to the final church scene could be seen as trying to remind us what is valuable and people have no price
