Topic: The Young Man From Atlanta


  
  The Thresher Online: Script for `Young Man' unworthy of Pulitzer (March 1, 1996)
At its best moments, The Young Man from Atlanta manages to be a compassionate and occasionally humorous portrayal of an affluent family's transformation as they come to terms with the truth about the loss of their son.
This mysterious young man lived with their son, and he reveals truths they may not have wanted to know.
Another big problem with The Young Man from Atlanta is that it idolizes old age and presents youth and change as evil things.
