Die Generation von 1969 (1988)
53KDie Generation von 1969: Directed by Ernest Thompson. With Robert Downey Jr., Kiefer Sutherland, Bruce Dern, Mariette Hartley. Two friends living in a small town during the 1960s, run away to enjoy their freedom during the Vietnam War, thus disappointing the father of one of them. When they return to town, they realize the importance of family unity.
“As the child of a hippie, I can fully u0026quot;getu0026quot; this film. Downey is brilliant as Raplh, the drug taking friend of Scott (Sutherland), I guess life CAN imitate art. Scottu0026#39;s overbearing father is played equally well by veteran actor Bruce Dern. And the girl who wants to save the world is played nicely by Ryder. However, the movie is truly fueled by Sutherlands performance. His portrayal of a borderline hippie comming of age is heart warming and endearing. I donu0026#39;t think there is another actor who could have done this role. The fims content is heavy and the acting is really good, but it is Sutherland performance that makes this fim so good. Not to mention a kick-ass soundtrack featuring bands like Cream, Canned Heat, CSNY, and of course, the king, Jimi Hendrix. I truly recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in a good tale about growing up hard.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI give this one ****!”
