Just to clarify: my pointis that he's not satirising them *specifically*, or
per se, but I agree that in his depiction of 24fps, College of the Surf and
PR3 he's most certainly satirising the failures of will, betrayals,
paranoia, bureaucratisation, short-sightedness, factionalisation, resort to
violence as an end in itself, and ignorance, of the Student Movement as it
was collapsing in the late '60s.
