even Neal Cassady had an unusual conflict in his desires
One of the most surprising things in "The Last Time I Committed Suicide" is the whole part about Neal Cassady's thoughts about living the "ideal" American life (a nuclear family and a house surrounded by a white picket fence). Cassady was one of the major people in the Beat generation, which rejected the "Leave It to Beaver" image of life. If in fact Cassady thought about having this kind of life, then it goes to show his own conflicts, even beyond the main plot in this movie.But I digress. I think that the movie did a good job looking at Neal Cassady (Thomas Jane). He and Jack Kerouac remain two of the most important figures of the 20th century. Also starring Keanu Reeves, Marg Helgenberger and Gretchen Mol...and just take a look at that one scene of her! (you know which one I mean)
score 7/10
