I can’t believe Aaron Sorkin went with the hoary old 60s myth of women burning their bras in his depiction of the 1968 Democratic National Convention protests in The Trial of the Chicago 7... and completely omitted Pigasus, the pig nominated for President by the Yippies!

I think we watched the same flick tonight, I think I liked it more and I also think you went into it knowing a hell of a lot more about the Chicago 7 than I did!?!

@HeerJeet is pretty fair to the movie as a movie while pointing out much of what is blinkered or naive and very 90s about Sorkin’s representation of the radical left politics of that time. https://www.thenation.com/article/culture/chicago-7-trial-film/ …2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
Yeah, it's an entertaining court room drama but the more you know about the Chicago 7, the less you are likely to enjoy it. The actual transcripts are way funnier and wilder.
