The Whole World is Watching: Inside Aaron Sorkin's The Trial of the Chicago 7 | Netflix

[@juliajaskulske2614]

Why this event wasn't covered AT ALL in my history classes is insane. Watching this movie with such little historical context literally blew my mind. I mean sure, it's an adaptation and some of it is dramatized, but holy shit to what IS true to life.

[@peachylady]

America likes to hide its sins.

[@neatrizareco4807]

And probably it will make young people think ... And we don't like that in our education system (sarcasm) And happens all around the world. I'm a teacher in south america, and to many times I have got called too much or even lefty because I WANT MY STUDENTS TO THINK. And I only teach accounting 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️... The hole system is corrupt...

[@phyllispollack1]

If you want your mind blown, watch the trials online in their entirety acted out on KZbin in doc films. The judge was so biased, and disgusting, I can't believe he wasn't disbarred. I remember these times well, being older. Abbie was a remarkable guy.

[@boxerspause]

Don’t feel bad, I went to school in the 80’s and it wasn’t covered then either.

[@williamturner875]

I was so bummed that Paramount sold the film to Netflix because I really wanted to see this on a big screen. But I'm glad they did, this is a film that needs to be seen.

I was 4 years old when I was in the middle of this riot. This film gave me full sensory flashbacks of things I did not remember living through. Of the tang of the teargas, the sounds of the screaming of my mother as she defended us from the police batons, with nothing but her bicycle and her body. I felt this movie and it was good.

[@mydogiscrazy13]

Omg that’s insane!! Do you remember anything more??

[@MikeMJPMUNCH]

I love how Jeremy Strong still seems to be in character in his interview.

[@TheMarizanebogdan]

He probably was. Sacha said that he was always in character during the movie and in Succession he also stays as Kendall the whole time.

[@TheAlps36]

Holy shit I almost didn't recognise him. He's like the polar opposite of Kendall Roy

[@mixmastermootree]

He's like a cross between Reggie Watts and Charlie from it's always sunny in Philadelphia.

[@BenMoranFilms]

Jeremy Strong was actually Daniel Day Lewis' personal assistant for a few years if I recall correctly. I think he learned a thing or two about method acting from him, as he seems to also stay in character throughout the shoot.

[@armandopiscoya5666]

I literally didn't recognize him until I saw this video. I always knew he was one of the greatest actors alive. This movie is proof

[@Erasureeraser]

This movie was way ahead of it's time. One of my favorite movies of 2020! Sorkin deserves an Oscar for his screenplay

[@nathantucker8489]

I agree

[@MariaVosa]

It was good but "ahead of it's time"? What do you mean by that? The movie was made 50 years (!) after the fact...

[@amuletk]

Very good movie. However, Sorkin took the trial transcripts verbatim.

[@lilmilontiktok]

True but promising young woman was incredible

[@matthiasbecker5064]

Considering how the Judge acted in this trial makes you wonder how many other trials he presided on which... have been unfair

[@amuletk]

This was the worst ever.

[@Unqualifiedmedicalperson]

That judge has a special place in hell waiting for him.

[@BrokeredHeart]

Frank Langella acting as Judge Hoffman was an incredible performance among stellar acting this film. Watching this flawed man who had entered that courtroom with a guilty verdict already in mind made me HATE that kind gentleman. What a brilliant film, and what incredible acting from absolutely every single actor involved.

[@lcharles3289]

My brother was in elementary school with Abby Hoffman's children, and they all went on a civil rights march together - with Abby Hoffman, in Boston. When I was 13, I went to an anti war demonstration on the Boston Common, with Abby Hoffman speaking. He was electrifying. But I left because I could see police batons being used on the crowd.

[@bridge4]

Great inside the episode. Great movie. Great true story. Legends

So heart breaking and wild that this great film took 13 years to make because of the untimely passing of two of it's main cast. Thank goodness it was made and no better time for it. Long live Ledger and Seymour-Hoffman

"Never seen anything quite like this" 2020 begs to differ

[@nellgwenn]

There is a made for TV show on this subject called Conspiracy: The Trial of the Chicago 8 (1987). KZbin has it. Also it had within the movie, interviews with the real people who were being portrayed. Everyone was still alive then. And to it's credit they play the song Chicago as the credits roll.

[@doggiesarus]

I remember this all as I was a young kid. I remember Vietnam on TV, Abbie Hoffman, and the riots. I can't believe this is not known by young people.

Too bad this isn't on Broadcast TV so even the poor folks can see it. I wasn't in Chicago, but we had the Berkeley Barb & the SF Oracle and the Texas Observer who were there and did great journalism. The young head of the Chicago Black Panthers, Fred Hampton, was murdered a bit later at 4am sleeping next to his 8 months pregnant partner by the Chicago police. Judge Hoffman was a hanging judge & he was out to get these guys. William Kunstler was a definite hero in the way he defended them. Tom Hayden married Jane Fonda and became a state legislator in California. This is a huge story and the differences between Abby Hoffman & what Trump pulled on Jan 6, 2021 should be obvious. I met Dave Dellinger when I was in Chicago in 1963 and he was a dedicated non violent direct action follower of Ghandi. I hope I get to see this movie, but I refuse to honor Pay TV with a subscription. Misuse of the people's airways. Oakland CA

[@normankelley]

That Aaron Sorkin, supposedly an informed writer can say, "We never seen anything quite like it before" after the NYC draft riots of 1863 and numerous bloody labor conflicts from after the Civil War up to the 1930s, really says a lot about the shallow sense of history of this country's creative class.

[@Ratherbejaded]

I think he meant as a whole, not just the riots. But the trial and that “the whole world was watching” people were listening to it on the radio, hearing about it on tv. Which hadn’t happened before for an event like that.

I hated the music soundtrack. It had nothing to do with the reality of the times, or the issues. The Sixties anti-war protest songs and iconic R&B and soul from the civil rights movement would have made more sense.

Agree. The music selection was an irksome disappointment. Especially the omission of CS&N's Chicago. Huge flaw in my book.
