Pretty people, great music and a decent plot, what is not to love? Of course I was a kid when this movie came out, which is probably why I enjoyed it then.
"Wild in the Streets" is a film about the youth of American rising up to take political power via a reduction in the voting age. It was released in the 60s and reflects some of the issues of its time.
I would really love to have a copy of this movie to show my children and grandchildren, especially now that we have Donald Trump as president. Want to see if there are as many parallels as I think there are.
Great documentary films often reveal their compelling story through hard facts we prefer didn't exist and yet we are still better off for knowing. This is not that documentary.
Hippie dippy ridiculousness is a true artifact of it's time. Starting off with the preposterous concept of lowering the retirement age to 30 and impounding all the retirees in militant psychedelic camps is silly enough.
I grew up in the sixties and even though I was 8 years old when this was made, I still remember the song "14 or Fight" and all that was happening during that time.Definitely the drugs and clothes and music are true to the time period and the movie is more of a Docudrama than anything else.
I was a kid when this movie was made, but I understand a lot of it. The plot is so out there it had me laughing all the time.
I saw this movie in the theater a week or so after my junior year in high school. It was my first date where I was allowed to drive.
