the best coming of age movie since the hey day of john hughes' films...

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2001)

i just started college in 1984 and remember the news and videos of the mining strikes at the time. the violence, the brutality, where family values were, where "a man's place" was, what individualty did to a young one's self image and self esteam. bringing down the wall, bringing down barriers, stepping out of the box. god! i remember those awkard days in jr. high and high school so busy trying to find yourself that you loose sight of the person in the mirror...
