1969

1988 95 min R Drama · War · Romance

The year the country split apart and a generation came together.

Two 1969 teens rebel against the Vietnam era’s dull small-town drone. Ralph clashes with mom’s libido while Scott tussles with dad’s brass; wartime dispatches push town sentiment into sudden shoulder-shrugs. A sudden about-face from the chorus feels less earned than earned by sudden poster changes.

Directed by Ernest Thompson · Written by Ernest Thompson
