zabriskie point ( 1970 ) represent this be especially interesting to me on a personal level and since it take place under identical circumstance and with identical peer and in my own life the counter culture movement of the late 60 or early 70 and on and off campus . we follow two unrelated young people in separate story and who be slowly weave together . one be a young man in los angeles and tire of all the endless and pseudo revolutionary jabber in the classroom and lunchroom of his campus and and and the other and a young woman drive to phoenix to see her father and employer and and take on an establishment job . the film be full of our italian director ( michelangelo antonioni ) visual notation of america and and and the confused and psychedelicrazies of that era self righteous and we know it all and we will change everything for the good youth . just who be the revolutionary . what do that really mean . do you dress like one and march around chant . do you fly in under the radar but give advance notice of your arrival . do you keep your plan to yourself and and go about the business of change and with no need for group approval . zabriskie point be definitely a period piece full of slang and uniform and somewhat surreal film moment ( after all and this be a film by the man who give u the amaze blow up of 1966 ) and and the era artifact and but it be more . it present option for cultural revolution and and go by antonioni ( who do seem to be supportive of it ) and the youth be too self involved to see what be need for radical success . because of this and it become a powerful and frightening film that apply to anyone and any time and any place .
