This ending was a kind of redemption, to the guilt he felt, of "being able to do more" if he had more courage in the hour. This girl similar to the one who was killed in the war was a symbolism, as if it were an angel telling Erickson that he could move on, because the culprits were caught and he did what he could, he would not need to torment himself any more.@@joshgellis3292
I always want to cry when I watch this scene. Almost like she was the girl in spirit telling him she knew he had tried to save her, that she forgave him and to finally put his heart to rest.
Hey ,,, brother ,,, if you watched this ,emotionally devastating ,flim on RUclips , so , please send me the link ,,, ,,,, please ...send the youtube link here ....
The ending is a complete masterpiece. The student on the train was actually Oahn, Thuy, the voice was dubbed over. As many have indicated, she appeared to comfort Erliksson so he can move on. With such savagery, De Palma concludes with kindness and gentleness that only MJF can pull off. Ennio puts the haunting musical touch on the masterpiece. Brilliant
I saw this movie on television back when I was 11 with my father. It broke my heart what happened to that poor girl. Then to find out several years later it was a true story hit me hard. Such a beautiful score and scene.
The Hill 192 Incident. My husband is a retired JAG sergeant who studied the case. If anything good came out of it, a lot of officers went down for covering it up.
It looks as if this final scene captures the era perfectly. One of the saddest, most inhumane films I've ever seen. Still haunts me 30 odd years later.
@Caduex Charles Same age, also same reaction -_-7. This scene is like a redemption epilogue, that just brings it all to a close in a good way. Great work by Brian De Palma
You could tell he was haunted by the fact he couldn't do anything to save her in the end. I think this was like him seeing her spirit, and her telling him to let go and forgive himself and move on.
I think that is very possible. I don't know if anyone noticed but that scarf was wrapped pretty well around her neck and would have not fallen off without her yanking it off.

+Sean Maginn Her performance was astounding. De Palma added prosthetic makeup for this ending scene to make her look a bit more "Americanized" and less like the girl in Vietnam. Amy Irving dubbed her vocals.
@Carly Steffen , Naw. She speaks perfect English. From what I heard , the director did not want to confuse the viewers. This girl here is supposed to be a different character. But he had a hard time to find Vietnamese actress. So not only he dubbed her voice, but he also gave her a fake nose to wear. It was unnecessarily in my opinion. But then again, some people might think this girl meant to be the incarnation of the raped girl if they were too similar. Who knows...
I heard that, too. She reminds me of the retired former child actress, Carrie Henn, from Aliens. Likewise for Hen, who delivered an impressive and gripping performance as Rebecca ''Newt'' Jordan, the lone survivor of a colony decimated by the monstrous alien ''Xenomorphs'',Aliens was Henn's first and last movie. I wonder why neither one of them ever acted again? But in the lone movies that they did do, they left behind memorable and astounding performances.
First words I learned when I started working with Vietnamese refugees in the electronics industry around the early 80’s. That was my first exposure to Vietnamese culture, and through daily interaction by working closely with them, I became familiar with the cuisine, learned a little bit of the language and about their customs and traditions, and also heard their stories of fleeing the country during the fall of Saigon, the experience of being in overloaded boats riding low on shark-infested open waters and time spent in refugee camps. I would later visit Vietnam briefly, though only in the north (Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Bac Ha, Sapa), where they use the unisex ‘Xin chao’ instead of Chao co/Chao ahn.
@@scottmcintire8634 "Xin chào" is like saying greetings in a general formal way. "Chào cô" (Hello Miss) or "Chào anh" (Hello Mister) is more direct, targeting the other person specifically. Of course it subjects to the age of the person, you will have to adjust accordingly. Glad you like our culture. We are always open and welcome everyone.
You may think I'm crazy but unlike any other film I've seen this one truly feels like visiting someone's grave. The events in this film actually happened but if you hadn't told me that I think I would've sensed it immediately. You encounter the spirit of the girl that was abducted and murdered senselessly in every frame and every sound. You sob uncontrollably because you can literally feel her watching the film with you. It's probably the only film I've seen that has ever made me feel this way.
Well, this is based on a true story so just think what it must have been what like for the young men who went to Vietnam. Michael J. Fox's character seems like he might have had PTSD.
You know, when she said that, it felt like she said, "My soul is at peace thanks to you." So, I think that this woman he's talking to, it's really just the ghost of that woman who died.
I just found and watched an old interview with Thuy Tu Le after the movie and she was very soft-spoken, decent and modest in personality. She spoke fluent English and wanted to become an English tutor to her fellow Vietnamese in the States. She was initially living in Paris after the fall of Saigon and later move to California upon her debut in the movie.
0:52 the music score brought me emotional and chills on my spine Is it relief or sadness to hear those words " it's over now I think" despite the horror you went through
I'm a fan of MJFox with the Back to the Future series, Teen Wolf etc but his performance in this movie separates him from his previous films. IMO this video cuts the scene a bit early, but just before it cuts, the look of his face and the look in his eyes, you can see and feel the emotion and that is a sign of a good actor
i watched this when I was around 8yrs old and I will never forget when she died. i cried so hard.. i didn't understand why they wouldn't let her go..😢😭😭
Same here, this movie traumatized me so bad. I can’t ever watch it again. I can only see clips and I refuse to see the clips of when they killed her and tortured her. So sad, bc things like this probably happened.
@Roel Santos Jr , This film is based on a true story. The director saw the case in the news. There is an interview with the director. You can find it here on RUclips. Also from what I have heard, the main criminal of the incident only spent 4 years in the jail before he got out.
Same here.. when they killed her I got sad and was traumatized for days.. was angry at them 4 son bitches, and honestly not ok the sentence they got especially Clark, I wanted to see them get killed, but this is story.. they all will be out due to the fact the justice system is terrible at times,
Apparently a deleted scene had the testimony of the murdered women's sister in which she presented her dead sister's scarf. This scene is so much more emotional.
I saw that.. it's just sad, this movie left me traumatized for days The sentences for those 4 punks is a big slap to the victim, they will get out shortly, even Clark, they can drop his sentence to 10-20 and will be out like that, as bad as the justice system is
MAR Bre13 I know ... But it’s still a really great film, I don’t think it gets enough rep because of the violence it has, it’s truly a *sad* film, but has a powerful message

Great taste. I love that camera zoom as she turns around and the Morricone score is one of the best. Just wish the video went all the way to and through the end credits.

aryan jenil that’s why I vowed never to join the armed forces because I saw how Vietnam vets were treated and how many of them never recovered from the horrors they experienced.
Brilliant touching scene. The bad dream meaning the incident and the war are both over for him. He is back home and must now stop blaming himself for what happened. He must and will never forget it but it is over. He must move on and face the truth that the horrors of war are absolute. The price one pays to come home is to live with the war forever. But, the "bad dream" itself meaning the said incident as well as the war are over. He must learn to cope and move forward with what happened as well as the war as a whole. The war may be over now but the struggle itself will be forever sadly. But, he must learn to come to grips with it all and manage it as best that he can in order to move forward.
If we stop to see the other side of the scene, when the girl says "It's over," it's kind of symbolic, as if she had "reincarnated" and returned to earth, just to tell Erickson that she forgives him and that he can now move on with his life. For he tried to do justice later, making the culprits pay, and tried to do what he could.
I truly believe that it was the girl's spirit or her "reincarnated" in a way, like you said returned to earth just to tell Erickson that she's at peace & that she does forgive him & to move on with his life.
Deep, if you look at Erickson looking at her at the beginning you can tell it her reincarnated soul sent to comfort her hero.. You did your best and it's time to forgive and move on.
@@arielgoldfarb4118 Yes, while he never did what his fellow soldiers did.. but he didn't do much to prevent what did happen.. in the end.. she was taken, violated and killed.. while he tried to.. it yielded no result in her fate.. Its as the saying goes “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" - Edmund Burke
When the girl said he had a bad dream, Erickson was probably thinking 'I wish it were just that. A dream''. I think he was showing signs of PTSD. Who could blame him after what he witnessed and endured. The girls words, while kind and well meaning, probably didn't help much. The memories will probably haunt him for life. I know it would do so if it were me.
Carly Steffen- He was dreaming about his experiences back in the Nam.(PTSD) Not just a random bad dream. It says at the beginning, based on a true story.
Honestly to me this is just sad The fact he failed to save the girl, he tried to protect and these memories will haunt him in his dreams and day life, it'll take a while to forget, but he will suffer horrible hallucinations.. Plus them son bitches will be getting out of prison Clark may be held for life, but can be let go, he's still young to be let go
Yes you are right that's because Brian de Palma couldnt use her real voice.Thuy Thu Le played both roles so her voice would be the same as a Oanh(kidnaped girl). Some people speculated that Thuy actually doesnt speak good english and that's why her voice is not used,but that's totally false,she is raised in US,so her english is flawless without any accent.
Micheal Fox R.i.p Handsome man Amazing actor ❤️ 1 of the most beautiful films that ive been watched on tv in the winter nights .. and i was didnt know anything about the cast and name of the movie .. and i still searching until that i got it ❤️this is the most scene makes me cry ! We all have this person that we are remembering him when we saw anyone ❤️
This and born on the 4th of July are so gut wrenching and just the top layer of what it was like for veterans in veitnam. I say top layer speaking from someone who’s not a veteran and never experienced any of what they’ve been through but I can only imagine and just know that it’s deeper and darker than anything we’ve seen on the big screen
One of the most most beautiful and devastating scenes to a film ending.. Check out the Italian dubbed version clip it is much longer and plays that glorious soundtrack to the end.
I am certain that a portion of WHY people can't get past Michael J. Fox being Alex P. Keaton is the reason why some of his movies flopped. This one, however probably outlasted the original critics careers that were both for and against this actually being a great movie. It is possibly one his best. The woman's skin color looks just like who he wanted to save, his heart goes out to who died so pointlessly. "You had a bad dream, didn't you? It;s over now, I think." Most of us haven't been to war, but many have had to continue on as life gets harder, problems mount worse and then, you have to maintain your sanity. - Although I am homeless, that means the person I was faced with starting so many arguments over, Dad is no longer apart of my life. I march through college, faced with gigantic assignments that I hope I'll save correctly so I don't have to repeat performance over. I was severely physically abused in 2012. Dad took me back in, but got colder as I did too. We got meaner and then we had a fight. I hope the 'bad dreams' of the 80's, 90's, 2000 and 2010's are over now. :.)
I agree, great scene. But the video is cut too short. This clip should be another 30-40 seconds long at least.... I'm trying to find one of this scene where it's not cut short...or some one isn't talking during the video and making commentary.
Well, it's the music...and the completion of the scene and his thoughts that I found so compelling within this last segment of the film.. It was very moving. Her walking into the distance, and getting smaller and essentially disappearing from view is a metaphor for how he's now able to start letting go of the thoughts memory of her and the war. He turns away with introspection and deep thought, with his hands on his hips...as he fades away. It was a very powerful portion of this scene. That's why the director arranged the scene that way and included it all in the film .If it wasn't important,...he would have cut the scene where this person who uploaded it to RUclips did. I wish someone would upload the entire scene.
I remember seeing this film on late night tv as a child and having no understanding or context of what happened. All i knew was a bunch of soldiers stabbed and shot some poor lady on a bridge while Marty from back to the future tried to save her. I was maybe 6-9 ish. It horrified me. Years later i saw the movie, not knowing that scene was from this, and it hit me hard, but when i saw this ending, i shed a tear, because in a way, MJF character found some level of peace and confort!
Really heartbreaking this movie and a masterpiece it's a true story how war can change a man inside its sad how he blames himself for what happened and he couldn't save her I wounder of the real people who were actually there are still alive now , ?
Definitely Dolores Park. Film was shot either in 1989 or 1990 although it's supposed to be late 60's. The real life Hill 192 Incident court martial was in 1967.
There’s a quick scene of the streetcar coming out of the N Judah tunnel and passing the Victorians along Duboce Park before it goes out on the J Church line past Dolores Park. I don’t recall any scene featuring Alamo Square or its Painted Ladies, though…and no streetcar line goes out there anyway.
It’s a very disturbing true story movie, Audiences have a tough time dealing with this true story movie, No one wants to think that young American soldiers turn so evil, it’s a hard pill to swallow.
I have two questions for long-time residents of San Francisco. First, where exactly in SF does this scene take place at? Secondly.....Please tell me that the SF skyline (as depicted here) is erroneous as most of those buildings could not have existed during the time that this scene supposedly takes place. .....the skyline looks very late 80s, and nothing like how it probably did back when this scene was supposed to have taken place. Granted, digital technology didnt exist much back in 1988 (when this film was shot), so they had to take certain liberties in hoping that either the audience wouldnt pay much attention to the skyline in the background, or would be accepting of it knowing that not much could have been done to omit it, except for the typical matte painting, which would have probably not blended too well with the actors in the immediate foreground.
Ok you figure it all took place in ...round it off to 1970... this last scene was supposed to be modern day (mid-late 80's); factor in the script was concieved/written 5 years before the shoot. This vet carried this trauma for years. What throws you off is that MJF still looks young in that scene. Yes they could have done as better job ageing him. When in SF, take the j-chuch all the way to 24th street ! it's a fun muni ride.
+TheMireaux7 War ended around 1975, MJF character would only have to be around 28-32 yrs old in this scene, placing it around 1985-89, so a mere ten years after the war. SF skyline did not change dramatically from 1975 to this scene, and the Muni light rail vehicles you see here came in 1982.
Actually guys the scene is very well dated. How? Scene opens inside subway car. Guy holding newspaper with 'Nixon Resigns' headline. The date is August 8th,1974. I remember the day well as it was my 11th birthday. Our church group went to Six Flags Over Georgia that day. Remember everyone talking about it .Got home that evening and on the news theres Nixon flashing the peace sign as he boards the chopper. Never gonna forget that day.
@@josephwolfe8771 The only real goof is that Muni didn’t open its light-rail subway until 1982. BART was running by 1975, and the Pyramid and B of A towers did dominate the skyline back then, but the J Church was still an old-style streetcar line in 1975 - and not the post-1982 light rail vehicle you see in the movie. The J streetcar line DID skirt Dolores Park like the modern light rail line does today, but instead of running in the Market Street subway (that opened 8 years after Nixon resigned), the old streetcars ran on the surface all the way down Market.
This site looks like the last in Sweet November with Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron.The train and hillside! I' like the had her playing the student ! Made you cry even more the life the girl they killed could have had with her family!

The war may be over now but the struggle itself will be forever sadly. But, he must learn to come to grips with it all and manage it as best that he can in order to move forward.
una de las mejores actuaciones de michael J, Fox
T.T Haven't seen this movie in forever but the ending makes me cry!
EVERYTIME.
If we stop to see the other side of the scene, when the girl says "It's over," it's kind of symbolic, as if she had "reincarnated" and returned to earth, just to tell Erickson that she forgives him and that he can now move on with his life.
For he tried to do justice later, making the culprits pay, and tried to do what he could.
I truly believe that it was the girl's spirit or her "reincarnated" in a way, like you said returned to earth just to tell Erickson that she's at peace & that she does forgive him & to move on with his life.
Deep, if you look at Erickson looking at her at the beginning you can tell it her reincarnated soul sent to comfort her hero.. You did your best and it's time to forgive and move on.
@@erickvoshel1 well said.
He didnt do anything to her.
@@arielgoldfarb4118 Yes, while he never did what his fellow soldiers did.. but he didn't do much to prevent what did happen.. in the end.. she was taken, violated and killed.. while he tried to.. it yielded no result in her fate..
Its as the saying goes “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" - Edmund Burke
She left the scarf there so she could talk to him. She left the scarf, knowing he would return it to her, so she could tell him that everything is ok.
So hard to make this kind of movies these days.
So true.
WONDERFUL MOVIE, NICE ENDING OF THE MOVIE IN THE END ITS ''THE SITUATION AND MUSIC'' THAT MAKES IT WONDERFUL. ITS EMOTIONAL TOO
When the girl said he had a bad dream, Erickson was probably thinking 'I wish it were just that. A dream''. I think he was showing signs of PTSD. Who could blame him after what he witnessed and endured. The girls words, while kind and well meaning, probably didn't help much. The memories will probably haunt him for life. I know it would do so if it were me.
You had a bad dream, didn´t you?... - It´s over now I think.
nothing is over. John Rambo
Marcelo Favio P. This movie was actually based on a true story although that story was depicted as a dream in this movie.
It's not depicted as a dream.
Carly Steffen- He was dreaming about his experiences back in the Nam.(PTSD) Not just a random bad dream. It says at the beginning, based on a true story.
For him no.
Honestly to me this is just sad
The fact he failed to save the girl, he tried to protect and these memories will haunt him in his dreams and day life, it'll take a while to forget, but he will suffer horrible hallucinations..
Plus them son bitches will be getting out of prison Clark may be held for life, but can be let go, he's still young to be let go
No, I don't think so, that bad dream won't ever end for him.
Amy Irving provided the voice of the actress for this scene.
Yes you are right that's because Brian de Palma couldnt use her real voice.Thuy Thu Le played both roles so her voice would be the same as a Oanh(kidnaped girl).
Some people speculated that Thuy actually doesnt speak good english and that's why her voice is not used,but that's totally false,she is raised in US,so her english is flawless without any accent.
Micheal Fox R.i.p Handsome man Amazing actor ❤️ 1 of the most beautiful films that ive been watched on tv in the winter nights .. and i was didnt know anything about the cast and name of the movie .. and i still searching until that i got it ❤️this is the most scene makes me cry ! We all have this person that we are remembering him when we saw anyone ❤️
He's still alive you know.
Mierve Fayed He not dead.
This and born on the 4th of July are so gut wrenching and just the top layer of what it was like for veterans in veitnam. I say top layer speaking from someone who’s not a veteran and never experienced any of what they’ve been through but I can only imagine and just know that it’s deeper and darker than anything we’ve seen on the big screen
Music is haunting
Best ending for a movie.
She knew .
One of the most most beautiful and devastating scenes to a film ending.. Check out the Italian dubbed version clip it is much longer and plays that glorious soundtrack to the end.

Beautiful movie ;-) And the music for the film is a master
This movie fucked me up so bad😭😭😭
I just cried instantenously at the scene when that girl left the bus.
The music just so amazing at that moment
it's pure brilliant
I like to believe this was her forgiving him...
Sad Truth of the World we live in.
I cry like a baby every time I watch this. beautiful sadness
Wonderful movie 💟 wonderful music ☺
I am certain that a portion of WHY people can't get past Michael J. Fox being Alex P. Keaton is the reason why some of his movies flopped. This one, however probably outlasted the original critics careers that were both for and against this actually being a great movie. It is possibly one his best. The woman's skin color looks just like who he wanted to save, his heart goes out to who died so pointlessly. "You had a bad dream, didn't you? It;s over now, I think." Most of us haven't been to war, but many have had to continue on as life gets harder, problems mount worse and then, you have to maintain your sanity.

Although I am homeless, that means the person I was faced with starting so many arguments over, Dad is no longer apart of my life. I march through college, faced with gigantic assignments that I hope I'll save correctly so I don't have to repeat performance over. I was severely physically abused in 2012. Dad took me back in, but got colder as I did too. We got meaner and then we had a fight. I hope the 'bad dreams' of the 80's, 90's, 2000 and 2010's are over now. :.)
Are you okay?
I cried when I was a newborn, watching this...
The movie is "Casualties of War" (1989).
I agree, great scene. But the video is cut too short. This clip should be another 30-40 seconds long at least.... I'm trying to find one of this scene where it's not cut short...or some one isn't talking during the video and making commentary.
Well, it's the music...and the completion of the scene and his thoughts that I found so compelling within this last segment of the film.. It was very moving. Her walking into the distance, and getting smaller and essentially disappearing from view is a metaphor for how he's now able to start letting go of the thoughts memory of her and the war. He turns away with introspection and deep thought, with his hands on his hips...as he fades away. It was a very powerful portion of this scene. That's why the director arranged the scene that way and included it all in the film .If it wasn't important,...he would have cut the scene where this person who uploaded it to RUclips did. I wish someone would upload the entire scene.
Meant to say..." he turns away with introspection and deep thought, with his hands on his hips,...as SHE fades away into the distance."
He looks to the sky as he realizes God has spoken to him through the girl saying in effect 'it is all over'.
@@darinfrandsen3393 What a way to put it.
this scene makes me cry so fuckin bad like when i didnt get in to the best college in my country
I noticed sean penns character only turned bad after brownie died thats what made him go mad seeing he good friends getting killed .
I remember seeing this film on late night tv as a child and having no understanding or context of what happened. All i knew was a bunch of soldiers stabbed and shot some poor lady on a bridge while Marty from back to the future tried to save her. I was maybe 6-9 ish. It horrified me. Years later i saw the movie, not knowing that scene was from this, and it hit me hard, but when i saw this ending, i shed a tear, because in a way, MJF character found some level of peace and confort!
A wonderful film.
this is michael j fox's best acting movie
Powerful film by the master Brian De Palma.
Really heartbreaking this movie and a masterpiece it's a true story how war can change a man inside its sad how he blames himself for what happened and he couldn't save her I wounder of the real people who were actually there are still alive now , ?
Brian de Palma & Ennio Morricone...
The music... Ennio Morricone...
This seems like it was shot at Dolores Park in San Francisco. Does anyone know what year this was, or what film it's from so I can deduce the year?
Definitely Dolores Park. Film was shot either in 1989 or 1990 although it's supposed to be late 60's. The real life Hill 192 Incident court martial was in 1967.
Casualties of War was released in 1989
I used to think it was Alamo Square near those iconic Victorian homes
The film was shot in 1988.
There’s a quick scene of the streetcar coming out of the N Judah tunnel and passing the Victorians along Duboce Park before it goes out on the J Church line past Dolores Park. I don’t recall any scene featuring Alamo Square or its Painted Ladies, though…and no streetcar line goes out there anyway.
Gutless wonder, he could of chatted her up! The nightmare is never over for a lot of returning vets
It's never over because Vietnam is a mindset that continues in Iraq, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Bolivia, Syria, Cuba, Ukraine, and more recently Africa.
What a great film.
The scene, acting 🎭 and the music are n sync to finally give redemption
This movie doesn't get its due credit. Great acting. Sad but true story.
@OrinBoborin Its from the war drama "casualties of war" from 1989.
really good but disturbing movie
Don't think the girl in the ending scene existed. Fabrication created by his mind to heal his trauma.
Omg it's so sad
A crushing scene...
It’s a very disturbing true story movie, Audiences have a tough time dealing with this true story movie, No one wants to think that young American soldiers turn so evil, it’s a hard pill to swallow.
I watched this when I was a little kid and thought the entire movie was just a bad dream he had
That woman is gorgeous. I wonder if she was in any other movies 😌
This is michael j fox's best preformance
I found this movie very bad but the ending is pretty cool and sad I feel bad for both the girl in the movie and her parents
In this day and age that would translate into "are you following me? piss off and give me my scarf back'
fantastic ending
I have two questions for long-time residents of San Francisco. First, where exactly in SF does this scene take place at? Secondly.....Please tell me that the SF skyline (as depicted here) is erroneous as most of those buildings could not have existed during the time that this scene supposedly takes place. .....the skyline looks very late 80s, and nothing like how it probably did back when this scene was supposed to have taken place. Granted, digital technology didnt exist much back in 1988 (when this film was shot), so they had to take certain liberties in hoping that either the audience wouldnt pay much attention to the skyline in the background, or would be accepting of it knowing that not much could have been done to omit it, except for the typical matte painting, which would have probably not blended too well with the actors in the immediate foreground.
SF muni J-church line stops at Dolores Park.
Ok you figure it all took place in ...round it off to 1970... this last scene was supposed to be modern day (mid-late 80's); factor in the script was concieved/written 5 years before the shoot. This vet carried this trauma for years. What throws you off is that MJF still looks young in that scene. Yes they could have done as better job ageing him.
When in SF, take the j-chuch all the way to 24th street ! it's a fun muni ride.
+TheMireaux7 War ended around 1975, MJF character would only have to be around 28-32 yrs old in this scene, placing it around 1985-89, so a mere ten years after the war. SF skyline did not change dramatically from 1975 to this scene, and the Muni light rail vehicles you see here came in 1982.
Actually guys the scene is very well dated. How? Scene opens inside subway car. Guy holding newspaper with 'Nixon Resigns' headline. The date is August 8th,1974. I remember the day well as it was my 11th birthday. Our church group went to Six Flags Over Georgia that day. Remember everyone talking about it .Got home that evening and on the news theres Nixon flashing the peace sign as he boards the chopper. Never gonna forget that day.
@@josephwolfe8771 The only real goof is that Muni didn’t open its light-rail subway until 1982. BART was running by 1975, and the Pyramid and B of A towers did dominate the skyline back then, but the J Church was still an old-style streetcar line in 1975 - and not the post-1982 light rail vehicle you see in the movie.
The J streetcar line DID skirt Dolores Park like the modern light rail line does today, but instead of running in the Market Street subway (that opened 8 years after Nixon resigned), the old streetcars ran on the surface all the way down Market.
I've only watched it once it was so upsetting and moving I can't every watch it again
This site looks like the last in Sweet November with Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron.The train and hillside! I' like the had her playing the student ! Made you cry even more the life the girl they killed could have had with her family!
People suffering all over the world, we are them.
