I think it can be true but still cynical if that's the only world it shows. Look at the first phone call between McQuire and Kline. It's like they hardly know each other. Very sad. Yes, so interesting the parallels to the politics today. pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-82196196618550320542017-02-14T10:09:52.763-05:002017-02-14T10:09:52.763-05:00AMERICAN BEAUTYAMERICAN BEAUTYJeff Meyersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093411926030586355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-38128312739494099142017-02-14T09:52:34.813-05:002017-02-14T09:52:34.813-05:00I grew up in Connecticut in the 1970s and it was e...I grew up in Connecticut in the 1970s and it was exactly like this. What's cynical about this? It's so very true. It exposes the parts of all America (not just "suburbia") that no one wants to think about -- people suffering in unhappy families, kids at the mercy of ineffectual parents, an entire country wallowing in the aftermath of deceitful leaders and public figures, and everyone losing faith in all you believe in and hiding behind all of that grief and sorrow with a nasty ironic humor. In fact, it's no different than what I see today, every day of my life.J F Norrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-32314074219661231882017-02-14T07:22:00.523-05:002017-02-14T07:22:00.523-05:00Oh, I haven't seen this one, Patti.
