It's an educational film directed by George A. Romero, a few years after "Night" and before "The Crazies" about the dangers of elder abuse, because, whether we want to admit it or not: we will all get old, if we are lucky.
What separates this educational film from all the others, is that this gives a more nightmarish look at respecting elders, as opposed to making it a joke or lighthearted, as other films have done in the past.
The old man in the movie, is very confused as to why people are reacting to him, which, is confusing to the viewer, because, we don't see what he's doing is being wrong or inappropriate. However, the younger people know that they can take advantage of the elderly, and, this is what causes the terror in reality and in the movie.
To me, the best part of the movie is whenever the old man is just being friendly to children, and, a younger man yells at him saying something like "what are you doing those children? Are you a creep?" This is a very realistic thing, which, people often times will think that just because you're being friendly that you must be a child molester or, you want something in return, when in fact you're just being friendly.
See you in the park, someday.
