This genre of movie explores emancipation issues of the young adults; on the edge of legal for alcohol, driving, sex, - these films summarize how this years crop feels about the parental and institutional authorities who have shaped their lives.

Most of the emancipation themes in this movie are routine; but I did pick up on one phrase that sets this apart from other movies of this type; " pedophile alert". Social Engineers who participated in the public propaganda campaigns in schools introduced their programs about " good touching and bad touching in pre-k and kindergarden classes. This program was quickly reviewed for its results and impressions. It was recommended it be stopped because it clearly demonstrated this age group did not understand what messages were being conveyed. It also left children in the position of being responsible for apprehending criminal perverts- and left parents off the hook for security issues. THis film remarks about this in a comical manner- yet it is a powerful indicator of what confusing messages these kids carried into their adult lives.

The movie is a provacative exploration of one of our society's lost arts. The Art of Conversation. I notice that people who watch TV have adopted TV-ism info-mercial schematics into their dialogues. The state of the state of conversation in our culture is canned audio frequencies that are bounced back and forth.

The art of listening and responding to anothers feelings, and thoughts is put under a microscope and dissected by this film. The artists put upon themselves a rule to express to one another, and reveal to one another who they are by any means besides " talking out loud"

I think this film may inspire others to give this platform a try.
