108356, Was it really a romance though?

She was horny and for once there was a guy nearby. It gave her the opportunity to feel close to someone and unburden some troubles, so to speak. But I don't think RJ was trying to push some love angle. This wasn't a Three Day of the Condor situation.

But there were little things foreshadowed throughout that had pushed the movie to be about youth and giving kids a chance to escape or accept the mistakes their parents made or the violence that was around them. That to me was more important than silver or gold (how many times had he offered his bricks to someone at that point?).
