Message | One theme/take-away of the movie is that persistence pays off when combined with talent and hard work. |
Role model | J.D. Salinger was undoubtedly determined to write and, at least according to the documentary, he wrote for the act of writing itself, not for money or glory. |
Violence | Graphic, possibly disturbing footage of battles fought during World War II, some brutal and bloody. Some scenes include footage shot during the liberation of Nazi camps; the charred remains of prisoners burned alive are shown, as well as heaps of dead bodies. |
Sex | Nothing graphic is shown, but there's plenty of discussion about Salinger's romances and flirtations with very young women, one as young as 14. |
Language | One use of "goddamn." |
Consumerism | Signage and labels are seen or mentioned, but in a historical context (Pinto, BMW, Bonwit Teller, Coca-Cola, New Yorker, Collier, Time, Cosmopolitan). |
Drugs | Talk of drinking; smoking is shown (accurate for Salinger's era). |
