Note the contrast between the old man's method of broadcast (constantly making cassette tapes which he then hands off to a single individual) and the "weapons giveaway car" method of broadcast (make a spectacle, get attention from passerby, deliver a continuous message that each spectator only witnesses a snippet of).
Shit, I hit one-star by mistake but can't undo it. A limitation of YouTube? At any rate, it's comfortably in the five-star range, which is a good thing.
Not among those who know film history; it's easily one of the most important, seminal cinematic achievements of the independent film movement, and is universally acknowledged as such.
Watched this back in college in the 90s on LSD. Recommended but not entirely necessary.

Does anyone know what song is used in the ending?
davyallen11 1 year ago
@davyallen11 it's called "the graskop polka", it's actually a cover of the popular song "skokiaan", there's a great version by louis armstrong too.

It's called Skokiaan if that helps, there are other videos of it on Youtube. Try Youtube Downloader if you want to get an MP3 of it.
