Great film. Great music, obviously, including some of the more obscure songs, the ones we all ignored because it was squeezed in between Yoko tracks. But even Yoko comes of well here. Some nice new interview material with Cronkite, McGovern, Liddy, Seals, Davis. And some fantastic vintage footage, a lot that I had seen before, but enough unseen stuff to make it exciting. A lot of nostalgiac moments.
It's extraordinarily relevant for today's war. Luv the message - Give peace a chance - right on, brotha! Of course, I'm a huge Beatles fan, so temper my opinion with that fact. And as you've already realized, I love leftwing political films, anything that goes after the neocons. But I highly recommend this one. It'll probably play as well on DVD, if not better, than in the theaters, but I'm always one to support good films in theaters, if I can.
