draft file and that creates a conflict
with Scott. With Ralph in jail,
Scott begins a. relationship with
Ralph's sister, Beth (Winona Ryder)
- another conflict. Scott's parents
are involved in another meaningless
conflict. There is too much here for
an audience to digest-
The acting is basically strong,
however, with Kiefer Sutherland be-
ing particularly impressive. He is
human throughout, never too much,
never not enough. Downey is more
problematic. His character is poorly
written into the story and so his act-
ing abilities are shrouded. He goes
on an acid trip at his sister's high
school graduation, takes off his
clothes, and goes on a rampage
through the gymnasium. Is this
comedy or tragedy? No one is sure.
The music may be reason enough
for a look at 1969. It abounds with
Pelle

demanding money for the owner's
bastard son; and there is that son
who befriends Pelle and actually
achieves some happiness after he
runs away and joins a travelling
show. The movie belongs just as
much to these characters as to Pelle
and his father, and the glimpses of
their lives raise the movie to a grand
height.
Bille August's directing of all
these characters is superb. With the
strong cast he is given, he makes
excellent use of close-ups to show a
character's emotions and puts the
movie on a small, personal level.
Just as impressive, however, are his
wide-open shots of the Danish
countryside, so beautiful and rich
some classic tunes from the era.
We're treated to selections by Jimi
Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Re-
vival, the Youngbloods, Cream, the
Zombies, and the Moody Blues.
1969 can be seen as a film about
a couple of guys who decide to be
hippies for a summer, but it should
be seen as more. It is a realistic por-
trait of an era of indecision where the
youth of the nation used the Viet-
nam War as a tool to vent their
frustrations against an ignorant gov-
ernment. Scott, at first, decides to
escape the draft by running away to
Canada. Later he accepts that he
must stay and protest. That is the
main theme of the film, and through
all the confusing conflicts and '60s
clich6s, that time warp sensation
comes through and gives us a taste
of life... then.
1969 is now showing at Briar-
wood and Showcase Cinemas.
that it seems they could only exist
as paintings in an art gallery, with
just a perceptible character running
across their canvasses.
Life in the 19th century is
realistically portrayed in Pelle the
Conqueror - not as an easy life of
horse-drawn carriages, but a life of
dirt and work and survival. There is
very little reward for the beating
their lives take and, more often than
not, attempts to make life more
bearable lead to despair. The movie
is ultimately optimistic, though, for
there is hope with Pelle. Although
he is just a boy, he has learned that
if he is to escape his father's fate he
must fight for everything, and we are
confident that he will not be
defeated. U
Pelle The Conqueror is playing at
the Ann Arbor Theater.
