Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
GazerRise Fantastic!
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
davethemathtutor Well, I've finally seen this hallowed cultural icon of the Sixties, and I gotta say, it stinks. It's a musical, and that's a lot of what's wrong with it: "Age of Aquarius" and "Let the Sunshine In" are pretty good songs, and "Easy To Be Hard" is passable, I guess, but all the rest are just awful, with unmelodic music and pretentious lyrics. The dancing is good, and Twyla Tharp's choreography is excellent, but that can't make up for the lousy songs.Then there's the story. Treat Williams stars as the leader of a small band of hippies, and his character strikes me (at age 68) as pretty obnoxious. Did director Milos Forman really intend for the hippies to come across as such smug, narcissistic jerks? *Were* we such smug, narcissistic jerks? I wonder.All in all: An embarrassment to all us old ex-flower children.
Hitchcoc With an almost non-existent plot, I watched this film to see/hear the music. After seeing it on stage and buying the album, I know just about every word to every song. There is an energy to this movie and I enjoyed that very much. The title tune sets it off. Then, we have "Easy to Be Hard" and on and on. Each is placed in a kind of contrived setting to make it work. If there is a weakness, the movie is somewhat disjointed and lacking a kind of flow. Still, there is that whole tribal thing going on. The kids of the counterculture strut their stuff. See it as a sort of latter day period piece. Sometimes song and dance give us the jot sensual connection to a bygone era.
rodrig58 Finally I saw it on an original videotape(the first time in Romania I saw a black and white censored copy). The music is excellent. The actors are brilliant, especially John Savage, Treat Williams and the beautiful and sensible Beverly D'Angelo. But Annie Golden, Dorsey Wright, Don Dacus, Cheryl Barnes, are also very good. In a small role, as The General, a great director, Nicholas Ray(who made Rebel Without a Cause and Johnny Guitar, among many other great films). I simply love Milos Forman, specially for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Amadeus. With Hair, he offered me a great surprise, the film is really great, not only because of the music(signed Galt MacDermot), but also for the pacifist message, which goes to my heart. One of Cinematographers is Miroslav Ondrícek, who signed the image for Amadeus too(along for more other great movies). To be seen and watched again and again.
disinterested_spectator 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.
