I'm only about 20 minutes into the movie but I was wondering if the protest footage with the army and all that were dramatizations written for the film or if they were actual protests happening that the filmmakers captured.

I was there, tooand I am in the daytime footage in Grant Park.
It was very easy to pick myself out of the crowd as I walked through it.
I will watch it again later and give the exact time I appear.
(Oh, yeah, like anyone but me really gives a sh*t, right?)

Yes, they shot it at their training facility in the Wisconsin Dells, off I-94Camp McCoy, a former WWII Army facility.
I knew a couple of guys who were in the Illinois National Guard, and they took part in that very same exercise. They both said that everyone was laughing their asses off most of the time, because it sure beat being shipped to Vietnam.

If he's only at the 20 minute mark he's not talking about the Chicago '68 riots. He's talking about the "war games" that the National Guard did. Those were a drill. National Guardsmen dressed as hippies doing a fake protest while other National Guardsmen preactice crowd control. It was real. The riots at the end of the film are also real.

What part of "watch out, Haskell; it's real" don't you understand?
