Yep, there was a reason I picked it as the first film for Right Wing Movie Night…
The movie is about The Generation Gap, all right, but its message is anti-youth. The Kids Aren’t Alright, they’re just sheep waiting to be led. There’s no hope of a new Youth Movement being sincere. The sixties generation is just an unseen mob following whatever dictates are laid down by the manipulative rock icon. Max Frost is a right-winger’s idea of Beatle John Lennon crossed with Hitler, a charismatic rock ‘n’ roll dictator, a low grade reboot of Lonesome Rhodes from ten years before.
