this sequence isn't intended to be a social comentary or thought provoking (at least not to the viewer, but to the character) this is only story related, it's a perversion of the ideals of the time(at the time of the movie of course) which makes perverted characters (not in a sexual sense of course) in order to kill. there is no social comentary because the montage in the beginning explains the "correct" ideals and then perverts them at the end. there is no social commentary in this.
Brilliant film, and a brillaint montage within shown here. 70s US cinema was really the pinnacle. The Americans were far better at producing cynicism with The Dream rather than the fuckyeah dirge they produced from the 80s onwards
One of those kinds of sequences that you won't see in feature films anymore - due to budgetary constraints and vanity projects, a long brilliant and thought-provoking sequence like this just wouldn't make it past the Hollywood suits.
wow...

I saw this on a big screen at the National Film Theatre, London, in 2004. It is amazing. Utterly amazing.
