this movie made me love film and al pacino. a very unique kind of coming-of-age story whose theme is very apt to the discussion. a beautiful western morality play about appreciating the beauty in life, that overindulgence leads to self-destruction, and that courage and integrity in the face of dire and serious consequences is the true measure of a man. i'm glad my father saw fit to let me watch it as a kid, understanding that an r rating and some dirty language is not what parents should be worried about.
