"Making Woodstock"
Director: Ang Lee
Starring: Dimitri Martin
compared to "Brokeback Mountain" everyone applauded and "Lust|Caution" is not bright in the West and the East is bright, " After "Taking Woodstock" was screened in Cannes and North America, Ang Lee suffered mixed reviews. It's really a clear distinction between good and bad, worse than the so-called "career failure" "Hulk" (Hulk).
Applauded that he used Elliot's family as the axis and kept turning the disc to entrain all the people around him. Ang Lee used her own way to film the process of preparing for the Woodstock Music Festival, and finally returned to the motif of personal growth and family truth, an authentic Ang Lee comedy. For these people, Woodstock is a grand event that cannot be reproduced. To relive it, just pull out the documentary "Woodstock 1969" (Woodstock) and watch it again.
For another group of people, because of Woodstock’s 40th anniversary, this spiritual sanctuary is not only special but also too important. They couldn't accept Li Ang's painlessness or itching. They only showed a concert scene from beginning to end, not to mention, and they actually appeared in the psychedelic after taking drugs. To them, the whole film lacks sharp points and looks like a hall where people walked out, leaving garbage and mud all over the floor.
For me personally, Woodstock is more in the words quoted. It has witnessed an era of the best and the worst, like a utopia. The role of Elliott is as humble and gentle as Ang Lee. He is too quiet. Whether on the phone, dealing with people, or even kissing between comrades, he is basically not rebellious or aggressive from the expressions. This is precisely the unique face of young people in that era. However, this does not mean that the protagonist is born out of nowhere, and there is no foundation to talk about. He made a series of choices to make Woodstock's convening smoothly, and his family life gradually became normal.
"Manufacturing Woodstock" has a very traditional aspect. Ang Lee repeatedly uses multiple frames to advance the narrative. After the image is divided, it can simultaneously explain the parallel development of events, with a fast pace, a short time and a large amount of information. And imitating the shooting style of old-fashioned cameras, creating fine pieces of retro atmosphere, these are commonly used methods in old Hollywood movies. If you emphasize the experience of watching the movie, the film also has its subtleties. Elliott and his father watched a group of people swimming naked by the lake and felt unspeakable joy; a gust of wind blows and the concert begins — this is typical Empathy is very appropriate. Elliott was taking psychedelics in the car, colorful and colorful, and people flying with them. With waves surging from the edge of the purple Milky Way, brilliant rays of light bloomed from the bright center, Elliott burst into tears with excitement. For those who have never witnessed the scene with their own eyes, this is a bold imagination, and it is truly unparalleled beauty. The funny place, that pants barn troupe, transvestite bodyguards, and policemen who joined the happy camp. In Woodstock, which belongs to music and peace, everyone is easily infected by the people around them, harvesting fun and giving love.
Memories are beautiful and cruel. After Woodstock, drug violence scandals continued, rock music went into a trough, and young people who wanted to have sex and not war also grew old. Woodstock only belongs to the 1960s, but there are always things that can be immortal. There is only one answer, no explanation.

Ang Lee captured the randomness, joy and weirdness in the preparation for the Woodstock Music Festival. ———Owen Gleiberman ("Entertainment Weekly")
