Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
boblipton Fred Mogubgub shows off his high-speed cutting technique as Gloria Steinem starts off drinking Coca-Cola and gradually shifts to more and more bizarre beverages. This is interspersed with sexual images clipped from the media, shots of anger and finally stereotyped Blacks. Clearly the idea is that everything is done to sell crap to the American people, man. We should, like, get angry.Mogubgub's technique, which he would use again in his work, employs very short cuts. None of his sequences seem to last more than a second. Several seem to be a tenth that length. Given the outcry in that era over subliminal messages in advertising -- one professor of mine seemed obsessed with finding images in ice cubes in liquor ads -- it probably seemed that turnabout was fair play.
