CHICAGO 10 (2007)


Buy it!
Positive Experience/Entertaining? I would say YES. However, it's a very jarring, sometimes depressing film, so don't expect it to be a "feel good" kind of movie.


Technically any good? While the CG animation was kind of weak, everything else about the documentary was awesome. The voice acting was solid (the late :( Roy Scheider puts in an impressive performance as the judge). Over all the film does a wonderful job of mixing historical footage, audio, animation (CG, traditional and Flash) to make a compelling documentary about a short, but important time period in American history. Some of the facts they present in this movie really made me mad.


How did it leave me feeling? Mad.

:)

It left me wondering why 20 century American history was entirely ignored in my history class. It seems like there's a whole lot to learn from just the trial these people in Chicago went through.


Final Rating? GSN - GO SEE NOW - Netflix it, rent it, find it, watch it. This is HISTORY and it's particularly topical these days.
