Costner's best-by far!
I was downloading music all night from coltrane to pharoah sanders to pat metheny. I remembered "Last Train Home" by Metheny and lsitened to it the rest of the night and remembered the movie Fandango. I typed it in Google and saw mark's review. Costner's better know films overwhelm him. he is not a method actor or even a good one. but in Fandango he was at his best. In fact so was Judd nelson. I consider this movie to be a cult film of the future. yes Viet Nam hung in the background, but it was the great and vast uncertain future they were all fearful of; and the backdrop of the wide western plains was, along with Pat Metheny/Lyle Mays music, the perfect accompaniment. They knew they would never be young and carefree again-possibly not even be friends again. But they also knew they would look back on that time as precious and valued. They were saying goodbye to each other and their own youth.
