Really? I had no idea, for example, through the entire movie who Hal Holbrook was supposed to be playing. Luckily he's an actor I'm familiar with so I was able to look it up when I got home, but I still didn't really understand what his significance in the movie was.

As far as the swearing goes though, I think that's actually pretty accurate. A lot of English swear words have been around for centuries.
