The movie goes back to the "good old days" of 1968 when protest against the war and student uprising was at the forefront of the news. I lived through that era and can feel the spirit. It details the student takeover of a university in a believable way and the brutal suppression of that takeover. Although I use the term "brutal" it was probably the only way to restore peace at the school since the authorities were too permissive early on and allowed it to grow. It does resonate with some of our current problems concerning the "war" and suddenly becomes timely. It's set against a tender love story and the casting can only be characterized as brilliant. The lead characters win our hearts. It brought back a lot of fond memories.
