Just finished watching this new work by Ang Lee. It seems to be laid out randomly, but it has meticulously restored many details and classic scenes of the Woodstock Music Festival 1969.

The roof of the psychedelic minibus, the mud sliding on the hills, the young people roaming freely in the lake, the hugs of family members in the rain, the flowers on the heads of the police, accidentally glimpsing the slogan head portrait of "Maosim save Life", and The shining crowds of the music festival are ups and downs, Beautiful, Beautifu. . .

The significance of Woodstock has long surpassed the music itself, and Lee’s movie theme will never miss the background of the hippies movement and the gay movement. Of course, there are also some renderings of family and friendship, all for the eternity of freedom. topic of. The background song sings "freedom, freedom...", and you know how well Director Li is familiar with the core of Western culture. Through its films, young people are encouraged to go out, find freedom, find themselves, and find purity.

    Ang Lee doesn't understand the spirit of woodstock, and WS has long departed from the spirit of Rock

    Hippie: freedom, anti-war, fraternity. . . For Ang Lee, I don’t know what else to say: easy and humorous along the way, but accurately grasping the spirit, seemingly random but not letting go of the countless priceless details, documentary-style trivial and real shots, and the most essential paragraphs. The night that fell in the psychedelic was also the climax of the music festival, and the technique was wonderful. In addition, he actually made his mark: the theme of family and growth.
