ok.....either he was way ahead of his time OR we, as a society, have not declined as much as I thought.
I vote for him just being way ahead of his time. Another example of Hollywood not having an original thought. I'm so tired of remakes.
Most literature, even from the beginning of time, is about sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll. Some are a little more subtle than others, but it is there in the majority of works.ok.....either he was way ahead of his time OR we, as a society, have not declined as much as I thought.

I haven't seen the movie, but I will accept your analysis that he was "way ahead of his time." There is one school of thought that says we (USA) went straight from barbarism to decadence without enjoying high culture at all...ok.....either he was way ahead of his time OR we, as a society, have not declined as much as I thought.

Jazz aficionados might argue that point .... However, since I hate Jazz.... won't.
