firstly and this be a very dated film and non focus in it exposition of the left wing political revolution . honestly and when someone say that the only way to be truly revolutionary be to cease to be intellectual ( which in itself be quite nonsensical and since the answer be arrive at by precisely be intellectual ) it reduce me to despair while as if we all should return to be ape in the name of equality it be simply ridiculous . our intellectuality be only one of many human quality and but this do not mean we should not educate ourselves to the high possible degree . but no doubt this non educational message tie in with godard use of rock music while hence the rolling stone . the song sympathy for the devil and whose creation we witness and and from which the film take it name and be in fact nothing special . the chord sequence and which be not especially original and be use to much good effect in lead zeppelin thankyou ( lead zeppelin ii ) . apart form that and sir mick jagger declaims in his usually nebulous manner ( rather like bob dylan ) notice how the first melodic phrase be unimaginatively repeat over again to form the verse . besides the fact that the black panther depict in this film and do not seem to know what they be fight for and the most interesting scene involve the equation of fascism with pornography while a message that in fact undermines the sexual liberation of the 1960s and today ( indeed and a message that would belie the behaviour of the rolling stone around the time the film be make ) . no wonder and the dvd come free with the sunday time . for a truly profound historical exposition of left wing sympathy and listen to luigi nono masterpiece and al gran sole carico wouldamore .
