I found it interesting to read your initial and revised interpretations and am wondering where you were at in your life when you felt like that. That was '75 so that's almost half a century ago. What's been the most significant experience you think has contributed to the change in your perspective? Nice piece of writing, by the way.
Thanks so much! I initially watched it in my early 20’s in the early 90’s while on a Jack Nicholson kick. In those days I was still finding my way and believed in authority as a blanket term. Now, in my 50’s I see that the folks in authority are just as lost as all of us. Not always wrong, but we’re all still trying to find our way. Even the ones who appears to have it together.
Life allows for misfits and adventurers to go seek refuge in the vast wilderness, but society might not necessarily see them as useful. But, it is important to understand the misfits reality because it informs us of our own biases in some ways.
Thanks for your thoughtful response. I really appreciate it and your reflections. Keep up the good work. 😁

I agree. The older I get, the more I enjoy seeing multiple perspectives.
The more older you are, the more you have seen human behaviour and societal systems evolve too 💜🙏. That's why we respect elders in India
