Great rock and sweeping political view

Jean-Luc Godard has managed to combine a sweeping overview of U.S. political extremes with footage of the Rolling Stones to create a wonderful effect. Godard illustrates different extremes of the U.S. political continuum and intersperses them with the Rolling Stones recording my personal favourite, Sympathy for the Devil.

Once again, it would be a terrible mistake to take Godard at face value. The central thread of this movie, as well as that of many others, is satire. Who can take the gun-distributing black power militants seriously, or Eve Democracy for that matter? Godard's satire is as biting as ever.
