This movie is kinda like a late 60s version of Casablanca, taking place in America, on a college campus. It's very intense, exciting, and dramatic. I really liked this movie, it's fantastic, and I highly recommend it.

A moment in time! The feel of the movie was very much like the feel of the sixties, especially since the music underscored the story.
