Wow, how could I have gone this long without watching this movie?  It is a look into the fringe of society at the time of its making yet the film explores themes that are just as relevant today as it was then.  It is much more difficult to be "different" than average.  In a country that consistently preaches how much it values Freedom, people that live free are admonished.  So there is the meaning I took from this film.  The pure entertainment value is awesome as well.  Great actors, beuitiful scenery and the development of the characters made me feel as though I knew them.
