Comments from loyal but not ardent Ang Lee fans

1. It is strongly recommended that people who have read the original book (including the Chinese version) stop watching the movie. The movie is not as funny as the original book, and many dark or violent plot movies are also omitted, just the bare left "Making Woods" Tok" itself, as if it were a matter of fact. As many people have commented, the whole film is uneventful and quite satisfactory. The biggest advantage is that there are no shortcomings, and the biggest disadvantage is that there are no advantages.

Of course, if you are an Ang Lee fan like me, no matter what others say, you will still buy the CD and watch it carefully.

2. Personally, I feel that the movie will feel a little more if the narration of the protagonist is added. As it is now, it is a completely documentary-like reenactment of events, rather than subjective warm memories.

3. This film is the most careless of Ang Lee's works.

4. If it weren't for the historical significance of "Woodstock Music Festival" itself, this film can be regarded as a bad film.
