got me from the get go this film
what i mean is that right from seeing the trailer in a countdown of america top 10 films that week, this movie caught my interest. it still has my attention too. i keep running the lines over in my head about economies expanding and contracting and how it effects those caught up in its changing fortunes. doesnt peter wellers character say something bout how his generation, to an extent at least, find themselves 'surplus to requirements'. anyway, whatever the case, theres reason, for me at least to revisit this film to get a more thorough understanding of the forces that have shaped the characters lives. and this film is somewhat of a rarity i think in thats its one of very few film of any 'weight' or substance coming out of hollywood
