Chicago 10

documentary

Not bad attempt to recreate the madness of August 1968 when the yippies came to town, the police rioted, broke a bunch of heads and everybody went home satisfied they had played their roles.

Listening to the revolutionary rhetoric at this point makes me sad...these people didn't want a revolution...they had no idea what to put into place...they were just furious with anger, resentment and hollered their rage in the face of bayonets.

I don't know what it will take to tear down this rotten system but neither did they...and now things are much worse. The film stirred the old anger in me...but to what purpose?

The mix of animation/rotoscoping worked pretty well to vary the look of old footage.
