God, Abbie Hoffman is my Hero, and this just shows how he wasn't just an activist, and a person in the view, but, he was a Person. Another Human. =)

[KenCat1337]

Abbie is a hero of mine as well.

[SLCPunker101]

That's great. Abbie was such a cool man.

I have a quote of his painted on my walls in my room. ^^

[KenCat1337]

Many of his quotes are funny, but make so much sense.

RIP Abbie, may your message continue in all of us.

Does this film make you want to go to more peace demonstrations? Can you think of another way to stop the war, or wars in general?

chicago 10? who are the two add ons?

Its one of the revisionist "documentary films" so yeah the writers/director just use a canvas and paint the past however their ideals determine, which means making things up, or making up the context, sumarizing things, turning it all into a silly cartoon. In this case Abbie Hoffman is literally transfigured into a cartoon charactor... Scooby dooby doo! Although I dont think the director had anything against the 60's counter culture, his intentions were probably coming from a good place.

I think there is clearly a generation gap between younger people, who see animation as a medium which can be applied to any topic, and older people who are unable to accept animation as anything other than a medium for nonsensical children's entertainment. This is also peculiar to the U.S. -- in Japan and Europe animation has long been recognized as just another form of film, with the potential to tell stories equally relevant to live action film.

"Revisionist"? That's your opinion.

@Zoyous I don't see it as being as simple as that. I recall being dragged off to see Fantasia in 1970 by an uncle . Fantasia, made by Disney in 1940, was groundbreaking animation for its time, and centered around creating a visual experience to accompany classical music. In that instance, the generation gap worked in reverse: While my uncle, 14 years my senior, took the animation very seriously as an artistic illustration of the music, it was I who had trouble regarding it as an "adult" medium.
