I was very much absorbed into numerous views of a NY that is gone. Much physically gone, it is the zeitgeist one who knew it, can feel a longing for. Not a word I have used, and I hope this is good usage Notably, visually, it is at the beginning of the graffiti era I was young. I observe this as during this time filming, I commuted by subway from NorthEast Bx for 2 of my High School years to one on E57 St. Was always energized by brief stops in midtown before trip home (and really no money to spend).
I also know back then, one could go early into the streets of lower Manhattan, onto the old piers, and even other sections, without many people around. Perhaps those days would make you feel like dancing in the street. Amazing pop, Motown, rock. None for soundtrack of the film.
Translated onto screen is the energy, positivity and 'faith' in some kind of power to change society, by the spawn of the upper middle class had back then, is quite remarkable. Glad too, it is not another period Hollywood ode to tuning out turning on and to hell with old-fart middle-America.
What a great eyeful it is. Who is that slim and has that much energy nowadays? I gave in to the actors romping and hamming it up, mostly ...though sometimes I don't want to see theater on film.
Too bad i hardly can stand to watch through on the first showing on TCM I just 'ran into' now. I can't comment regarding the religious aspects (..not being Christian nor 'religious', only knowing some of the basics regarding that. I've turned away and back a few times. Being not quite so enthusiastic of the narrative, even much of the songs.
