The Ice Storm is Coming
Kids who grew up in the ’70s will soon have Thanksgiving with their 70 or 80-year-old aging parents. Will they recall the ” Ice Storm”?
In the film, it is Thanksgiving weekend in the early 70″s and a boyish Tobey Mc Guire 
returns home from prep school to a Thanksgiving feast that his angry sister starts with this prayer.
” Dear Lord, thank you for this Thanksgiving holiday. And for all the material possessions we have and enjoy. And for letting us white people kill all the Indians and steal their tribal lands. And stuff us like pigs, even though children in Asia are being napalmed.”
The Dysfunctional Family’s 70″s Season of Hell
So we begin the descent down the cusp of the 1970s as the nearly normal family shapeshifts into dysfunctional in Ang Lee’s brilliant film The Ice Storm
Lee’s Thanksgiving classic is the perfect reflection of some family’s plunge into the early 70’s season of hell.
If you’re in your 50’s or 60″s and grew up with parents who went haywire through 70’s social change, you will remember the ice storm.
Divorce imploded the family, as we knew it. If you were a parent then you may recall, Key Parties, or Nixon Resigning, Deep Throat, or hear David Bowie who did the soundtrack to the film.
Some Parents of the ’70s Walked on the Wild Side With Open Marriage
With Lou Reed, you can loop back to his fabulous song that spins the period Walk on the Wild Side and maybe recall the template for it the entire era the -book, Open Marriage.
Children of this 70’s social tumult may now share another Thanksgiving with aging parents who put them through hell. What will they do when they find they have to care for those same parents who did not care for them?
