Most of us here would like to see America transformed. This 1968 movie is about young people doing just that, by replacing the elderly in power with young folks. They lower the voting age to 15 and put everyone over 35 into 'Paradise Camps' and keep them stoned on complacent with hard drugs. Toward the end, they've returned all military home, closed the FBI and CIA and encouraged similar changes abroad.
This movie changes are not what we want in particular, but it is an indicator that a mere handful of charismatic people can make huge changes quickly in a broken world.
I saw this with my older sister in theater as a kid. Seemed scary and strange. Movies were never at all like this before. Or since actually. A successful, peaceful coup in the US shown as a how-to movie. As a kid, I did like the movie's theme song, a minor rock hit of the moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbpcTwwtW3M
