Review of The Committee (1968) by Vicki P — 07 Feb 2009

The plot synopsis for this film on Flixter is incorrect and it mistakenly shows the film's date as 2005 when it is actually 1968.

The musician Paul Jones is the lead actor and it came after his debut in "Privilege". These are two movies that try to show the questioning of authority and establishment. This film also shows the interesting idea that if you are given freedom to do what ever you want, without the rules of a society, human nature might not always do the right thing. The lead character in the Committee and Privilege has a inner struggle to be an individual as opposed to another cog in the wheel of society. The outcome differs in each film.

I recommend that people who are interested in the 1960's attitudes towards society and individualism take a look at both movies.
