In memory of Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa.
That The Animals track calls up this scene before anything else.
May he rest easy.

(Setting aside the various matters surrounding this film — the disputes over its depiction, the denied assault, the intra-community feud, and the violence it sparked…)

(It also reminded me why Senator Bernie Sanders and filmmaker Michael Moore had been warning certain “liberals” all along—and why they were right.)

And those two were always on the same continuum.
It felt less like Springsteen’s private memoir than a symbolic story of ordinary people in a vast country called America. At least, that’s how it struck me.

For now, if I were to give a short, fresh, instinctive take: the film turns on two major axes—mental health and the longing for structural reform, namely a quiet, unspoken yearning for socialism.

A government-built housing complex where I had lived until I finished high school.
It looked no bigger than a pack of cigarettes.
The railroad crossing alarm clanged—“kan-kan”—then quickly faded.
The flashback of my life passed by like a fleeting lantern.
It appeared, and then it was gone.
