...Train of Life is a fabulous deception, a wonderful fairy tale that tries to tame the cynic in everyone into submission. It might seem sappy, it's certainly not real and it is depressing even as it takes the audience along on its life-giving journey. To even hint at the ending would be unfair, but let's just say it puts a powerful spin on how the rest of the movie is remembered.

They are the campus's little turbines of doom, with faces smashed against their walls and students flying out of them, screaming.

...enough people realize the cool music that goes on in this basement hovel. Club Passim looks like a tame cafe, but it is an institution. It's where big names like Joan Baez and Bob Dylan got started, and it continues to draw top folk, bluegrass and special acts. Many a night also find the place packed elbow-to-elbow with kids from school (mostly the a cappella crowd) when Harvard's own amazing talents take the stage...
