Review of Chicago 10 (2008) by Chris M — 29 Apr 2008
Half documentary, half animated, Chicago 10 is a nice blend of animation and actual footage of the events that occured at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The film mixes various animated trial sequences, that are adapted from the actual court transcripts, and acual footage of the demonstrations over the 4 day period.
The film as a whole stands out as a wondrous look back on the events that certainly pertain to the present situation in Iraq and gives a great history lesson that you can really feel a part of even if you werent even born yet as in my case.
By the end of the film you feel amazed that these events actually took place. Now as for the animated court scenes that are voiced over by big names such as Nich Nolte, Mark Ruffalo, and Roy Schneider are enough to carry the idea despite the visuals not being impressive.
In the end the film transports you to a time otherwise not attainable.
