About This Movie
Growing Up in America is an intriguing documentary that revisits the lives of notable '60s counterculture figures like Abbie Hoffman and Timothy Leary. Morley Markson does a thoughtful job of juxtaposing their youthful rebellion with their present-day reflections. The tone feels almost conversational at times, making the viewer feel like they're in on a personal discussion about the past. There's this undercurrent of nostalgia mixed with a bit of disillusionment, something you can feel throughout the pacing of the film. It's not just a historical recap; it dives into themes of identity and change. The footage—some archival, some new—really captures the essence of a pivotal era, and I think that’s what sets this doc apart.
Fascinating character studies · Great for understanding the counterculture · Interesting follow-up to 'Breathing Together'
