The movie was OK. I know there is poetic license, but it had Nixon winning in a Landslide then initiating the Chicago trial. It was 1972 when Nixon won in a landslide. The 1968 election was a squeaker. Nixon won by 500,000 votes and was not declared the winner until the following morning. Otherwise it seemed very accurate, they even had the Yippies with the Pig convention just before the Chicago Democratic convention.
I would have liked some insight about why the Yippies were so anti-Lyndon Johnson. Since Abbie blamed Nixon for the trial was there remorse for handing the election to Nixon?
The actors were very good, and there could have been more exposition of the early days in the East Village.
