In Reply to: That's a beautiful addendum and a perfect explanation of why those who don't like the movie... posted by clarkjohnsen on March 26, 2006 at 10:31:35:
I think it was an excellent film and didn't just portray divorce well but portrayed being a slightly off middle class (or slightly lower) young teenager in NYC in the early 80's well.But it's not that the parents were simply soulless or that the appearance of such was simply because they were liberal academics. They were damaged people who both showed and saw glimpses of soul and heart and struggled against their own damaged-ness but couldn't quite reach their better natures despite said glimpses (how frustrating would that be?) There are people like that in all walks of life, not just liberal academia.
Also, don't forget this was written through the eyes of their teenaged son. Even though he wrote it as an adult his experience of them and his memory of it was as a teenager.
