The focus of the movie is very interesting. It gives a detailed description of the protagonist's family, but there is not even a scene of the performance at that time. It may be disappointing for those who really want to feel the atmosphere of the Woodstock Music Festival at that time, such as I.
The processing of the split screen in the film is probably the best way to show the chaos and carnival in the preparatory stage. It is used very cleverly, and the echo of the deer in the grass is also very interesting.
However, the movie in general gave me a sense of anticlimactic. There was too much foreshadowing in the front, and in the end, it ended in a hurry with the conflict between the protagonist's family and self-awakening. . So it seems that its Chinese translation is very reasonable, it should really be called Making Woodstock Music Festival and not just Woodstock Music Festival.
I've always been interested in the pacifist and hippie culture of that era, like in the movie, millions of people came there and enjoyed three days of peace and music, and then what? They go back and make money.
Everyone liberates their nature, calls for peace, and preaches love. Everyone abandons all concerns and burdens imposed by the real world, and embarks on the road to the music festival regardless of the consequences. Even if it is only three days of carnival, it is enough. This may just be a passive resistance to escape from the real world, and it may not change the world to end the war, but it does provide us with another possibility for life.
If ur going to San francisco, please wear some flowers on your head.
