Zabriskie Point

Zabriskie Point is a 1970 film by Michelangelo Antonioni. It was intended to capitalize on the U.S. counterculture movement of the time by sympathetically telling the story of a young couple -- an idealistic student, and a militant radical -- with a pointedly anti-establishment message. It stars Mark Frechette and Daria Halprin, neither of whom had any previous acting experience.

It's always the same story,
it's been going on for 300 years; if you are so clever,

:03:00

why didn't you come on our side
right from the beginning?

:03:02

Now can't do anything else
other than going there

:03:04

and telling them "we are really sorry"
but the university is closed, on strike,

:03:06

we'll blow a whistle when it's over

:03:10

What do you think about
boycotting the recruitment of militaries at the university?

:03:15

There is only one thing to do: to go in
the recruitment offices,

:03:18

to take a bottle, to fill it with petrol,
to cork the bottle...

:03:21

Oh yes,

:03:24

but what if we want to blow
up sociology instead?

:03:26

You, listen to me, a molotov is a
mix of petrol and kerosene,

:03:29

a radical white man is a mix of chat and shit

:03:36

Listen to me, I'm not here to show you
my revolutionary credentials,

:03:40

but there are a lot of white students
fighting on the street,

:03:44

just as you do in the ghetto,

:03:46

and there are a lot of unsatisfied white
people who are potentially revolutionary

:03:52

Here we do again the same talk, guys

:03:55

When they fly you in jail
because of a bit of marjuana,

:03:57

then you become revolutionary
