Great view on 3 decades of American history

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 1999)

I wasn't born and raised in the U.S., and I loved this movie as an involving, touching, yet sober view on three decades of American history. I'm led to think that pure-breed Americans (especially if in their fifties now) must have loved it even more. Anyway, the historical events of a country mingled with the personal life of this naive but strong character make for a great narrative device. Excellent movie for everybody.
