I saw America in the 1970s

If you want to understand the United States in the 1970s, I recommend watching this movie. Politics, cars, car accidents, assassinations, country songs, star chasing, striptease...all the screens, and apart from these visual impressions, the most distinctive is the auditory "noisy". From the beginning to the end, it can be said that there is no one second of silence. However, there are very few quiet conversation scenes. Some are political propaganda, quarrels, and noise from tweeters. While various scenes are constantly intersecting, various noises also gather together. Only when the singers sing can get a moment. The tranquility. It is also a movie with country music as the theme. The 2008 Oscar Award for Best Actor "Wild Heart" is a completely different style. I prefer the latter. (November 8, 2011, watched at Minamikaikan, Kyoto)

John Triplette: I just want to tell you a little bit about what we're trying to do. I'm not - I know you're astute politically and I'm certainly not here to sell you a bill of goods.
Bill: I don't care. I don't care about politics.
John Triplette: Okay, great. Well, let me tell you then, I've got a problem that I think would work to your advantage. As you know this redneck music is very popular right now. And I've got an awful lot of these local yokels on the bill, you know, singing...
Bill: Your basic country folk...
John Triplette: Crapola...
Bill: Right
John Triplette: So, I think - what I'm going for is a broader appeal, you know.
Bill: Which is where we would fit in.
John Triplette: More than just this Southern thing. And I think that you could really - a really hip group, like yours, could walk off with the evening.
Bill: Yeah, probably the only rock group on there?
John Triplette: Absolutely.

Mary: You see, it really doesn't make any difference because we're registered Democrats.
John Triplette: Well, I'm a registered Democrat!
Bill: The only reason we're registered Democrats is because your father was a registered Democrat and his father's a registered Democrat!
