An establishing shot of a grocery market is shown followed by a long shot of the main character entering and exiting the shop. A Rolling Stones song is being played throughout the opening scene. The costumes resemble an urban vibe in that era in Boston. The film had a budget of 90 million dollars and made 289.8 million dollars. The film won Academy Awards for Best Motion Picture of the Year, Best Achievement in Editing, and Best Achievement in Directing. It was nominated for many Golden Globes in the acting department.
