I should have said that the idea of him suggesting topdown planing didn't come to me after watching the film but after hearing an interview he gave concerning the film. In the following clip, at around ~0:25, he briefly talks about having a big vision. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW_R98EBO7s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW_R98EBO7s > A revolution can be a nice first step, but it's a waste of time if you don't know the specifics of how everything should run the day after the revolution is finished. The way I see it, a revolution is often necessary but seldom met with success. I am not confident that what follows can be specified. I think it rather emerges from circumstances which may or may not turn out to be a boon. Whether or not there are specifics may be a question of the altitude from which you look at it, though. Having said that, I don't want to discount your comment in any way. Just my two cents. I am not a professional revolutionary ;)
