Product Description

Brimming with the energy, passion and music that rocked a nation, Hair is an entertaining and powerful tribute to the turbulent spirit of the '60s. Brilliantly recreated by OscarÂ(r)-winning* director Milos Forman and screenwriter Michael Weller (Ragtime), this vibrant screen version of the Broadway phenomenon ranks "among the best film musicals" (The Hollywood Reporter)! Fresh from the farm, Claude Bukowski (John Savage, The Thin Red Line) arrives in New York City for a date with the Army Induction Board, only to walk into a hippie "happening" inCentral Park and fall in love with the beautiful Shelia (Beverly D'Angelo, American History X). Befriended by the hippies' pacifist leader, Berger (Treat Williams, Mulholland Falls), and urged to crash a formal party in order to declare his love for Shelia, Claude begins an adventure that lands him in jail, Central Park Lake and, finally, in the army. But Berger's final effort to save Claude from Vietnam sets in motion a bizarre twist of fate with shocking consequences. *1975: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; 1984: Amadeus

HAIR TODAY, HAIR TOMORROW
Hair is a fun tuned movie musical that contains risqué lyrics which would be considered quaint today.About the hippy/flowerchild movement and the Vietnam call up and 10 years out of date when made. Still it is an enjoyable throw back with many tuneful melodies. A great turn for Treat Williams in a fine ensemble cast.Excellent image quality and DTS5.1 sound with the 1.85 ratio. Not to be missed.

I saw this movie years ago and really liked it. I’m a child of the 60s and love that music. I also had a friend that was in as a extra. Love it.

I don’t know why I haven’t watched this movie before. I turned it on to catch a few minutes of a young Treat Williams singing and dancing. It didn’t take long though, for me to be transported back in time… and I’ll never be the same!

The music and choreography are powerful. I didn’t realize that some of the songs I still love so much today actually came from this musical! (Brace yourself though… some songs and scenes are crude but they really are an accurate representation of that era.)

I was a young girl during the Vietnam war and hippie movement. It seemed to be all around me but I didn’t understand it, especially having to grow up through it. This movie allowed me to see that part of my life with fresh eyes. Looking into those young, innocent faces I suddenly saw so many people I once knew, maybe even a little bit of myself, trying to make sense of it all.

Suddenly I was remembering one particular summer day sitting up in my favorite tree and watching the boy from my neighborhood (my brother‘s best friend) walking alone down the street with his army uniform on, coming home after the war. No one came to meet him. There was no party or parade. I’ll never forget how different he looked.

I’ve come to realize since that the tragedy of the Vietnam war wasn’t just all those who didn’t make it back… It was those who DID and their incredible struggles coming home to a world that didn’t understand them or what they had experienced, and didn’t seem to care.

The scene in the movie where all the young boys are marching into the dark underbelly of a transport plane hit it home for me. It seemed it was an endless stream of faceless pawns being sent to “be played” and sacrificed in another country’s deadly war game. I got a sick feeling in my stomach wondering how many times that same scenario has played out over the decades since… and what the REAL reasons are when we send our precious youth and treasure off to fight in another country’s war.

I’ll probably have tears in my eyes most of today thinking about that turbulent time in history and how deeply it’s affected all of us who lived through it. But even more, I’ll be coming to terms with the profound truths that not all problems are ours to fix, and not all battles are ours to fight.

5.0 out of 5 stars A VIBRANT FILM VERSION OF '60's BROADWAY HIPPIE HIT
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2008
Verified Purchase
My first introduction to "Hair" was the classic 1968 Broadway Cast Recording. Much later, I saw the 1979 film version on Showtime and loved it!! Years rolled by, and I saw an excellent stage production at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre (twice) and added "Hair: The London Cast Recording" to my collection. I felt the time was right to view the film version again.
With eleven years between the original Broadway production and the film version, time allows for a different perspective. "Hair: The Movie" is not about "what's happening, baby, " as the stage production had been. But, it had to, and does, evoke some of the spirit of the late 1960's era. As director Milos Forman said: "When you are in the middle of a storm like the '60's, you do not have time to think about what is going on. With distance, now I can look at the period and see the contradiction, the humor."
Of course, there are differences between the stage and film versions. In the stage musical, the main characters of Claude, Berger, Shelia, etc. are all a merry band of hippies. Claude is conflicted. Will he burn his draft card or fight in Vietnam? In the film, Claude (John Savage) is a hick (from Oklahoma, I gather) who goes to NYC to join the Army and go to Vietnam. He meets Berger (Treat Williams) and his hippie pals in Central Park, who introduce him to the joys of drugs, sex, peace, freedom. happiness, etc. Shelia (Beverly D'Angelo) is now a society debutante who is drawn into the hippie group due to the mutal attraction between her and Claude. Of course, the hippies try to save Claude from going to Vietnam, and the film's "ironic twist ending," although different from the stage version, is every bit as moving and heartbreaking.
The film has an especially vibrant energy and the cast, particularly sexy Treat Williams as hippie leader Berger, is extremely charismatic. Most of the celebrated score by Gerome Ragni, James Rado, and Galt MacDermot, is included here; although a few songs are rather clumsily inserted into the film screenplay by Michael Weller. For instance, "Walking In Space," a drug use scene/song in the stage version, underscores an Army training sequence in the film. A few odd changes do not detract from the overall impact of the film, however. The opening number "The Age Of Aquarius," set in Central Park, is thrilling. Treat Williams' party crashing performance of "I Got Life", Cheryl Barnes' emotional showstopper "Easy To Be Hard", and the gender switching treatment of the "Black Boys/White Boys" number are a few other outstanding moments.
"Hair" belongs on that short list of film adaptations that manage to capture the spirit of the original stage musical and are a completely successful film musical in their own right. ("West Side Story," "The King And I," "The Sound Of Music," "Cabaret," and "Chicago" are the others). I'll never understand why the film version of "Hair" did not achieve the same success as the film version of "Grease," that shumaltzy/sleazy. over-rated tribute to the 1950's. "Hair" certainly has more grit, emotional power, better songs, and a stronger, more important message than "Grease." I don't even own "Grease," but "Hair" deserves to be in the library of everyone who loves the late 1960's and Broadway/film musicals.

4.0 out of 5 stars Communication Breakdown, Lessons Lived, Wisdom Understood

For educative and entertaining value for young Americans who never experienced the Liberal Revolution. For Conservative seniors who lived through the turmoil, LOVED the music, and can now see the positive value of what the liberals were trying to message. A movie SO truthfully effective, you will view it over and over again. Cannot give it 5 Stars due to the filthy and useless song sung by Woof to the horseback riders. This song helped create the illusion these youth were nothing BUT degenerate. Periodic nudity shown BUT added a reality to the ongoing action of the moment. Life forces EVERYONE to grow up. Commanding and demanding will fall on deaf ears. Living for yourself is living for your body and rotting away your Soul. TRUE Love may cost yourself, as you sacrifice for the other.
