There are good guys, like Captain America, drooled over in infatuated close-ups, and bad guys, the vahoos of the South and over-thirty America in general. The good guys are warding off the yahoos (a young commune member prays to God "Thank you for a place to make a stand.") Billy and Wyatt die because they are free, like all good guys. (Hanson says: "They...
