The charmed and charming life journey of an innocent tossed through three decades of America's turbulent modern history makes for an original and hugely appealing story.

Truly one of the most compelling and emotionally powerful films I have ever seen in my life. Watched it when I was a kid and didn't really get it...rewatched it last year and was just totally blown away. Epic performances, plot, cinematograph...
