(The movie is set in the 80’s when homeschooling was not a popular option.? In fact, at that time, it was still wasn’t legal in most states.)
The fictional world of the movie, that? his parents were militant activists in the 60’s resonated with the zeitgeist of the 80’s, when militant activists of the 60’s were mellowing out as they entered middle age, had families, bought property;? they wanted to live normal lives.?
