But he is Ang Lee

One night in the middle of the night, I watched Ang Lee's "Making Woodstock."
Halfway through, I suddenly remembered that there was a time last year when a friend said that his greatest wish in his life was nothing but to watch Woodstock. I asked, no kidding. He was almost in a hurry.

I also remembered that several people around me were more or less disappointed and complained about this film.

But he is Ang Lee. He's not Quentin, or Scorsese.

He tells a story of growing up. A story about a belief in the heart, everyone is a Buddha. Just put a big logo on Woodstock.
Yep. Woodstock, of course, is no exception.

He omits a lot, including the flashy protagonist's same-sex orientation. He has made a lot of deletions for this expression. Although he was reluctant.

In the eyes of the director, it is a story. anything. No reinforcement. No exaggeration. He is still very peaceful. This is his root.

A young man who intended to use a tape recorder for a concert in order to pay the mortgage, passed a message, a phone call, and several contracts. This led to the logo Woodstock.

Even the policemen with pistols were probated. There is no probation. In the story, there are only gangsters who receive protection fees. The biggest superficial violence occurred when the child's family and a gay veteran broke the gang's leg with a baseball bat.

This movie is beautiful and endearing. Of course, the premise is that you need to be patient.

Full of art. Back-end power can affect your life for weeks after you watch a movie.

Those who are under the age of 18 should be careful when choosing a partner to watch this film. Maybe you'll be led on the way by this old guy.

    very nice. It is a reductive presentation of the hippie movement in the late 1960s. The scenes are amazing, funny, absurd, but full of energy, which makes people yearn for endlessly. But in the end, there are certain routines that cannot be escaped. It is not necessary to combine cultural discussions with family and dreams. It brings the whole film down to a level, which can only be said to be dwarfed by "Nashville". The light is exquisite, but a little deliberate. The actors are as clever as ghosts.

    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.

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!
