TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Many of the "actors" were not acting in a traditional sense. In the introduction, Peter Watkins says many protesters were real-life protesters, and most soldiers were real-life conservatives. All improvised lines based on their opinions. There were no rehearsals.

The movie was filmed with an Eclair 16 mm camera. The theatrical cut and DVD release were blown up to 35 mm film.

Popular Dialogues

"Mary Jurgens, Tribunal Member: [shouting] You are immoral! Jay Kaufman, Tribunal Defendant: I am not immoral. [she continually interrups with shouting] Jay Kaufman, Tribunal Defendant: You want me to tell you what's immoral? War is immoral! Poverty is immoral! Racism is immoral! Police brutality is immoral! Opression is immoral! Genocide is immoral! Imperialism is immoral! This country represents all those things!"

"Desert Pacifist: At another time, the honorable thing or the right thing to do might be to be a policeman or to be President. Right now, I think the honorable thing to do is to be a criminal."
