did i misunderstand something


I thought the film was suppose to be set in 3069 whereas it seemed more to be reliving the Manson Family/Sharon Tate murders. did I miss something? I was fairly buzzed admittedly

i'm just taking this off wikipedia.

The movie starts out with a futuristic Nomad from the year 3069 who accidentally discovers the book "Helter Skelter" while searching for food in a desert. As he reads we fish back to 1969 where Susan Hatkins (who is later named Hadie by Charlie) meets Charlie Manson during a bad LSD trip. Where she is accepted to his family where they plan things to change the world, and make music. After finding out that the snobby, nature hating actress Sharon Hate is supposed to be filming a movie in the desert where they are living, Charlie and the family plot to kill her. They get subliminal messages through songs such as "I Want To Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles, in which to kill Sharon.

Soon after brutally murdering Sharon Hate they go after a grocery man who was mean to one of the members of Charlie's family. They kill him and his wife and are later found by the police in the desert where they have a trial and go to jail.

We go back to the Nomad in 3069 who carves an X in his forehead and uses Charlie Manson as a sort of Messiah.

In the future someone finds a copy of Helter Skelter, the animated part of the movie represents the events in that book.
