Chicago 10

Of cursory interest as a historical documentary of an interesting event, but leaves out some of the better parts of the trial, and it kind of kills the '60s feel by using 3D animation, a hypersensational style, and more recent songs, none of which jive with the subject matter.

not sure which skateboarder got timewarped from 2002 into the editing room on this one, but at least we got to hear eminem say "fuck bush" in a documentary about the vietnam war.

An unsettling look back at a time when people actually stood up against their government for waging wars they don't believe in. The people are inspiring; it's the government that's unsettling, that judge especially. The movie is at its best using raw archival footage, as the 3D animation of the trial is both tacky-looking and too current. It's a shame too, because when hand-drawn animation is used briefly, it looks superb. Still, it's worth a look. Very interesting and full of great characters.

"Chicago 10 is a reminder of a time when the counter-culture was out on the street making noise--a history lesson so removed from our present political climate it feels almost like science fiction." - Jeremiah Kipp

Good Movie
