In the article in the section with the free love and black panther parties it mentions that Gump argues consistently for "revisioning" the 1960's as an era of cnfusion and conflict. Also, that Gump represents the 50's, and Jenny represents the 60's; but there is a sentance in there that kind of disturbs me, and I am not sure how to interpret it. "When a country loses control of its white women, all hell breaks lose." This seems like a generalized statement, what is this meant to mean? I understand the context, and know Jenny is this poter child for the 60's, and the country is in the time of a rebellion, but want to get a better understanding of that quotation.
I find if funny that the film was awarded in the National Review "one of the best 100 conservative movies," and the same source also awarded them with the "best picture indicating the 60's counterculture." Do you believe the film to have favored one side of the political spectrum more than the other? Do you the think the portrayed acts of the conservatives and the liberals were accurate?
