  • That's amazing that you went and watched it. Thanks for your comment and sharing your opinion on it.
    You have to remember that this film was made in 1967 but says more about our culture now than it did then. People everywhere these days are recording things, taking pictures of their lives, documenting everything. I can't go to a single live concert any more without seeing masses of people holding up cameras to record it. It's like they need to record it to see it later to verify to themselves that it actually happened, that they lived it. But they didn't live it, they were too worried about capturing it on film. And this is David Holzman's fate.
