...to a film that beautifully portrayed the radical (if slightly hippy) resistance to the government's repressive protocols, the centerpiece of which was a "free school" a la Summerhill that didn't inculcate the sort of non-thinking you and your reactionary, bomb-tossing, doctor-killing buddies engage in.There, that felt good!

Follow Ups:
It was the crappy acting !Or was it the self- indulgent preaching ?
Or was it the "make love not war" sentiments while Billy karate- kicks the crap out of people ?
Or was it the kid playing guitar with the claw- hand ? Yep, it was the kid- I was sure the strings would break and put out someone's eye- my hostlity reflects my disappontment at this potentially gruesome scene being overlooked.
Plot Summary:
GOVERNMENT/ COPS= BAD
HALF INDIAN, EX GREEN BERET, KARATE EXPERT, VIOLENT PSYCHOTIC WITH PEACENICK PRETENSIONS= GOOD
