Ang Lee's "Making Woodstock" did not show the scene of the music festival from the front, but chose a family change as the main body of the narrative-it seemed a bit evasive. But since it's "TAKE", it's a verb, and it's inevitable that "person" is the core of the film, and that's what Uncle Ang Lee is good at. Woodstock is like China's WG. It was a dream that people had in that era. No matter whether the scenes in the dream were breathtaking or not, it finally left a mark in the world.
The protagonist Elliott was born in an ordinary Jewish family, with a miser's mother and an inactive father. Before Woodstock was "manufactured", their lives were as ordinary as water, Elliott was not hippy at all, and the place at White Lake was a land with only pastures and farmers. Young man, he didn't know his future at all. Where. After Woodstock was manufactured, he saw the "center of the universe", so he packed up and was about to travel far.
Rock music is certainly not everything in this world, but everything in this world is rock music. The passion of hundreds of thousands of people was ignited at some point. What do you think is impossible? It was not brought by a lot of money, or psychedelic drugs. The hippies did not listen to rock and roll at all, but they made their own voices.
Elliott’s mother saved her private money for twenty years. When she was lying on those banknotes, I felt like she was a very traditional Chinese, an old woman who had saved money all her life but lived a monotonous life. . The only madness was dancing in the rain. The old couple carried their son's hands. That scene was really unforgettable. I was touched in this way, so I wondered when my parents could do the same. Like most Chinese people, they never laugh and live a life of careful calculation.
China does not have Woodstock, but there are large and small music festivals, Midi Strawberry Modern Sky, West Lake Rebo Vitality Island. In those places, young people are also full of enthusiasm, and they are also strangely dressed. The difference is that after the madness, Everything seems to have never happened. The job of the job, the complaint is still the complaint.
In fact, this movie should be about family. I think no amount of words will be worth the father’s phrase "I love her". No matter how normal life is, you can't live without heart. As for Woodstock or something, if there is no heart, then after the passion, there is only a mess left, which is really uncomfortable.
