"Making Woodstock"

"Taking Woodstock" itself is really a model. The narrative, characters, emotional points, all the excitement about youth comes from that era itself, that era is not just spiritual emptiness and material desires. The era of whitewashing is not like today.

For Ang Lee, this film is just a relaxation after "Lust, Caution" and "Brokeback Mountain", and it can be seen that those two films have almost taken him out. So what he can give to this film is probably not much other than a little bit of his own memory (in fact, how much of an impact the Beat ideology can have on him, I doubt it).

    A three-day quiet and peaceful rock music festival created by a child. As you might expect, the director is calm and the film is still a slow-moving film.

    D+ / For Ang Lee, it is probably a failed but still encouraging attempt. Although I enjoyed watching the part that paid tribute to the 1969 documentary, I still felt that the psychological clues of the two generations were not integrated.

Taking Woodstock quotes

  • [the Chamber of Commerce discussing tourism ideas]

    Frank: Well, okay. We got a lot of dairy farms around here, right? And a fair number of bulls. Okay, you've all heard of the running of the bulls in that town in Spain, Pampoona.

    Elliot Tiber: Pamplona.

    Frank: Well, no one's doing one in the Catskills. Seems to be a big draw over there.

    Annie: It would be very amusing to see all those Jews from Levitsky's summer colony, you know, the ones with the black top hats and the curls, running for their lives chased by our local livestock. Wouldn't that be a wonderful sight!

    Sonia Teichberg: Elli! What is this with the sheets?

    Elliot Tiber: What does it look like? I'm making a big cross on the lawn!

    Sonia Teichberg: With the clean sheets? Jake, our boy's gone crazy! Making a Ku Klux Klan rally on our property!
