I also search the origin of the footages of the opening sequence.
Does anyone know what the wall banner says (I think it's in French) in the conference hall?

It says "PARTI RADICAL LE PARTI QUI TIENT PAROLE"
it means : "Radical Party, the party which holds word" (i'm not really sure how to translate it)

This shot, the guy murdered is a fellaga shot by french soldier during Algerian independance war. I saw it many times in documentaries about this.

I think there are also shots from french May 68, but for the moment, i cannot be sure 100%.

The utilisation of such shots (Mai 68, Algerian war, WW2...) means something important for the movie. For me, the fall of civilisation described by the narrator began a long time before MM1, and doesn't speak only about what happened after MM1 only.
