Free To Be... You And Me - Part 11 of 17

I don't remember this being on the album either... (Don't think I missed it.)

This movie takes me back to the 70s...my elementary years. I wish things hadn't changed so much. These were very good years.

My favourite 53 seconds of this 42 minute film!

I'd rather be the moon and be cool then burnt up in the sun

I love this play!!!!:)

Dionne Warwick is fantastic! This is a perfect example of how versatile she is!

I don't remember this song at all being in the movie. They must've remade the movie, I've seen this movie about 30 years ago back at Los Alamitos Elementary School and this was a good song.

Well, that was short! Nice, though.

Nothing wrong with being a moon, so long as you have conviction when faced with moral dilemmas. Not everyone has the ambition to be a sun.

It's also a very dated yet feminist idea. Before, women were encouraged to be the supportive partner to their husband while he was encouraged to be the outward face of the relationship. Women were expected to not have their own ambitions. Like most things, this is cyclic. Before the 1950's, it was trendy for women to have ambition, esp after WWI. Think of flappers, Amelia Earhart, etc.

You make an interesting point, but despite the fact that it was "trendy" for women to have ambition prior to WWI, it was most certainly not the standard of the time, as even though flappers flaunted their freedom of sexuality, the time was very conservative. Thus, it is also critical to consider the fact that having ambition was a trend, which does not mean it was accepted by the majority of the population, who ultimately control the direction of the nation.
