This is the first movie of Dustin Hoffman, after hich he became the idol of his generation. The film represents rebellion and aversion against ossified principles of previous generations. After this film, Hoffman played in many famous productions, is known for his unique talent and a great work blending into the character to identify with it. He convinces the viewer as any character he played. The atmosphere of the movie is filled with songs of Simon and Garfunkel.
