The dynamics presented are really cool. I am interested in American history, so seeing him take part in so many different real-life events was one of the best parts of the movie.
do you like Sally Fields?
yes, I think she is a great actress, and played a really good role as his mother in the film. She did what she thought was best for him always.
Did you think it was cool when they talked about Elvis in the movie?
I think it was cool because the Elvis scene is a great example of how many American historical pop culture topics there are in the movie. It also added to the sensationalism of his life.
What was your favorite pop culture topic from the movie?
Probably the focus on the hippie counterculture movement, and their music. That was a huge deal in the 60's, and I like how much focus they put on it.
Do you have a favorite 60's song that was featured in the movie?
California Dreamin' is a really great and iconic song used. I think the movie helped people identify it as a defining song of the 60's
Do you remember what scene in the movie they played that song during?
He is writing a letter to Jenny, from Vietnam, while it's raining. It then shows how she became unfaithful, hanging out with other guys and joining a hippie group.
Wow, you have a great memory for movie details. Was Robin Wright the actress that played Jenny?
Yes, I think she was
