This move is a grand Us against Them battle with an fitting, truthful mix of the typical, healthy pain caused by experiencing and living through life's mistakes and uncontrollable events.
When I saw this movie in 1983 at BYU, little did I know I would marry a cutter's granddaughter and move to the town where this move was filmed! This film is a very truthful portrayal of life in this town: townies versus Indiana University, us against them. A major chasm separates these groups, though the IU group does not acknowledge its existence; truly, only those who straddle the two groups see the division. This movie is the tale of one young man's attempt to live in both groups. It is applicable to all.
