Hey There! My name is Manny, Man of your dreams...

The title is from one of the opening lines of the movie entitled White Irish Drinkers. Set in Brooklyn, NY in 1975 this movie portrays two young brothers that make a deal to try to steal from a movie theater when the Rolling Stones have a concert. Although this movie was released in 2010, it has terrific examples of the counterculture present during the 1970's. For example, early in the movie when Brian (the younger brother) is working at the movie theater, there is a poster of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, the Rolling Stones are coming the Lafayette movie theater, the disco men are thrown out of the pub because they don't "serve their kind," neon glow in the dark posters of shrooms, a glow party, and marijuana (which is when the Irish say that they do not do pills, drugs, or weed because they are "White, Irish Drinkers"). There is so much more going on in the movie that gives an idea of the American counterculture during the 70s that I highly recommend this movie to those who are interested in suspense, drama, and crime.
