I love this movie so much
Sick Product of a Sick System
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Hair is the only musical I like and can stand watching. I don't just like this film, I LOVE this film. Acting - superb! Story - interesting and so so touching. Songs - deep, full of very human and smart messages.A very beautiful, touching, so well acted deep and smart film. I cry each and every time.Don't miss it!
I never saw the play, and it sounds like many of those who have are finding fault with the way the film was done, but since I've only ever seen the film version I don't have any way to compare the two. Treat Williams excels in the role of Berger, and he's supported by a very capable and talented cast. It's an interesting, thought-provoking film with some beautiful music and dancing, and it's very entertaining. Unlike some films of its era, it's still relevant and watchable today.I also find it interesting because in a way it parallels my life when I was that age: I was a small-town Claude type, and I traveled to the big city and got involved with a couple of rather cutting-edge New Yorkers who were amused by my naiveté. They had a completely different lifestyle than mine, but we learned something about each other and accepted one another at face value rather than passing up the chance to become friends just because of our extreme differences. That's a life lesson worth learning.Parents very strongly cautioned: no real violence to worry about, but your kids will be asking awkward questions and seeking the definition of some fairly off-beat words and concepts if they sit through it.
This adaptation of the musical is done with a creative edge and an open ENGAGE the AUDIENCE attitude! It invites you to understand the struggles of that time and how the "free love hippies" dealt with peace. It is a timeless message and one you cannot help but become attached to the destiny of each character. Treat Williams is phenomenal!!!!!! That boy can MOVE!! =) I think everyone should watch this and understand the belief of infusing peace not war. I think signing the message sends more of an impact and embraces the message in a gentle way. Because, even tho I did not live during this era, the world continues to struggle with using violence to solve it's problems. I think this movie is a delight to watch and evoke smiles, laughter, tears and so much more. The table dance scene is hysterically funny and the I GOT LIFE song shows we are all human. A must see
It sure must be great to be such a free spirit that you don't have to work for a living because you can always beg from people who do. And it sure must be great to be such a free spirit that you never have to wash your clothes or take a bath. And it sure must be great to be such a free spirit that you do not have to worry who the father is if you get pregnant, or, if you are a man, worry about supporting the woman you abandoned when she turns up with your child. And it sure must be great to be such a free spirit that you can display your superior attitude toward life by stomping all over the food that people were going to eat at a dinner party. And it sure must be great to be such a free spirit that you can steal a car just because the guy who owns it is uptight and therefore deserves to be treated with contempt.What an insufferably sanctimonious bunch these lowlifes are! My flesh crawled all through the film. Thank goodness people do not put up with this nonsense in real life.
