'Woodstock Documentary' - See how the last generation went crazy

About the Spring Festival of 2015, I hoped to stay up late to watch this music festival, and I wasted a lot of time thinking about many trivial matters, so that this wish was finally realized on the New Year's Eve of 2018. It is also a beautiful thing to use the frenzy of nearly 50 years ago to fight against the grand loneliness of the Spring Festival.

Those young people in 1969, I am afraid that they would never have imagined that they contracted a farm, and a rock music festival based on "music and peace" would become a milestone in the history of human rock music and a time with profound cultural significance. 's event. The desire to make a little money failed to materialize, and they lost $2 million, but no amount of $2 million would be able to replicate the second Woodstock Music Festival.

The screen of the film is sometimes divided into two or three pieces, and the wonderful era is overlapped by light and shadow in an arrogant gesture. mess up. So you see its beginning, process, and end all at the same time, like a musical version of "Story of Your Life." The days and nights in the clip take turns to fight, and suddenly the music festival seems to continue without limit, and it can be fought to the end at any time after every drowsiness.

The enthusiasm that even torrential rain and hunger can't stop is probably only supported by the spirit of rock music. The cars participating in the music festival lined up a few blocks away, and 450,000 people came to the farm that could only accommodate 100,000 people, rejecting war, solidification, and mediocrity. The rebellious hippies have sex and hugs on the grass, and the little ones will forget that they have participated in this unprecedented music festival. The rain-flooded soil covers the hippies' tumbling and slipping marks with new grass. Today, all those who have participated in that music festival are getting old, leaving us who are still young to reminisce about the past.

I always wanted to experience the atmosphere of a music festival or concert on the spot, but unfortunately I never met the right opportunity. Watching the hippies half a century ago can unbridled men and women swimming in the river, rolling on the grass, sitting on the ground listening to rock and roll, talking in groups of three or five, seems to have abandoned all the troubles and trifles in the world. What people will miss in the future must be the same friendship as brothers and sisters, regardless of age, gender, identity, race, and skin color.

I like that after the last mess, there are still many people packing up and hugging in the ruins. The loneliness after the party is always unbearable. The famous couple wore quilts to keep warm in the mess after the concert. It's the best way to let go of that past era. After we fight, revel, and be misunderstood, we can still hug each other peacefully. These three days of artificiality are like a dream that has never been done before. In the dream, we love each other, and outside the dream, we wake up in the soil.

The wildness of the cowboy jumped on the young and healthy skin, and the spontaneous gathering did not cause riots, and there was almost no theft. For the gang of little bear children, the government was also heartbroken, providing food, water, toilets . In the past three days, the whole world has been envious of the dreams of these 450,000 people, and all adults covered in the smell of copper have acquiesced in the beginning and end of this feast. Whether you like it or not, it is an unprecedented miracle in the history of human music, and even cultural history. There is marijuana, there is sex, there is nudity, there is music, there is indulgence, there is confusion, until everything becomes empty.
