Review of Sam's Son

I really loved this film, because it is so easy to relate too. Essentially it is about how a young man finds his niche to get out of a town that is rife with 50's conformity. Landon addresses many issues of the day in the process. Which is quite wonderful. Ultimately it is the story of a family and how father and son and mother get to know one another in the end and learn that love is what saves us. Landon did not care much at all for 50's conformity and the post-war influence of corporate America and greed. He warns us of their influence and how this mentality of being better than thou instead of working together will get us in trouble. Very lovely film.
