? Because I only read it once and wrote down some feelings and thoughts at the moment.
The film mainly tells the story of the "Woodstock Music Festival". In order to help his parents pay off the bank loan and save the hotel, the male protagonist Avery speculatively holds the "Destock Music Festival" in his hometown. The film made me very high all the way and made me feel the taste of freedom.
After watching the film, I was thinking that the film is about "Woodstock Music Festival". However, the film really tells what is going on at the music festival scene, almost nothing. If there is, it is just a big vision from a subjective perspective of the male protagonist "hi". It's beautiful, really like the center of the universe.
Why didn't the film go directly to the music festival scene? But tell a story with the cloak of a music festival? Anyone can be simple and rude, but it's boring to tell the story like this. In fact, what you need to consider at the beginning of the story is that you have to understand what you want to tell and what the theme is. After the theme is determined, you can decide what kind of coat to match.
From a small point detonated into a huge universe. Who can dominate all this, the male protagonist Ellie? band? both are not. The source of great energy is the teams that spontaneously come to the festival from all over the world. Broke the originally dead silent town. They bring very different lifestyles and attitudes to life. It will make people start to think, what is real life? Of course, the director's attitude has long been revealed. In the film, even after taking LSD, he felt so beautifully portrayed. At the end of the film, the male protagonist chooses to start his life again, and the band also has a new beginning. The theme of the film is actually freedom (of course, you can also say it is growth, because people will always change more or less after going through the process of changing things.), just as the male protagonist in the film decides to travel and start his new life . He is also like a member of the mighty army, who runs all the way to experience the concert, and they have the right to choose their own way of life. Because free air always makes people very comfortable.
