Across the sky

This is an exciting music movie.
The excitement stems from the powerful art director and the era that is in full swing. What the
director Julie Taymor did is just to randomly link these music with that piece of history. .

The 1960s in the United States was an era full of turbulence and passion, and it was also a fabulous era; the
civil rights movement, the "New Left" student movement, the declaration of the "Beat Generation", the Vietnam War, the hippie movement, sexual liberation...
this A movement related to "youth" that lasted for ten years has drawn a beautiful rainbow in the sky of history.

A few years ago, I taught Chinese to a 60-year-old German man. At first, I knew him only as a very rigorous engineering man, but one day I finished a presentation about rock music in a certain European and American cultural history class. I gave him a rough description of the content of my demonstration. His eyes were very bright and he asked me if you like rock and roll? I said you like it? (Actually, I want to say that I am "love house and Uzbek") He began to talk about his university in the 1960s, long hair look, band, and most importantly, the college time they just went to when the student movement was surging! May storm! I asked him how you think this affects you, is it a lucky thing or a bad thing. He said "a totally lucky thing" without hesitation. I still remember that look! Then he described their declaration at the time, how they resisted the values ​​of their parents, and how their society respected multiculturalism after that movement. Although he became what he is now, he was a big leader in large companies exporting technology all over the world. To be honest, I became more interested in that period of history after getting to know him. I used to hear about it with misunderstandings. That's it.
