The reason I saw this movie was originally because I had seen the legendary film she directed before about one of my favorite painters. If you pay attention to the inner meaning of the picture and the story. You will find that the film itself is not a copy of the Beatles, as all critics say. Instead, it truly used the spiritual culture of the younger generation of the era itself. And in the context of the times at that time, how they faced the country, various political problems and the thinking brought about by the change of the times.

Jude: What is that place?
Prankster: The headquarters of the league of spiritual deliverance!
Dr. Robert: The home of Dr. Gary, another outlaw, like myself. We're navigators, we're aviators, we're eatin' tators, masturbatin' alligators, bombardiers, we got no fears, we don't shed no tears, we're pushin' the frontiers... of transcendental perception. What's weird is, we haven't met yet, on this or any other plane.
Prankster: Hey doc, he says he won't see you, man.
Dr. Robert: Why, is he sick?
Prankster: He just said he's busy.
Dr. Robert: Did you tell that
[sniff]
Dr. Robert: sonofabitch that we drove 3,000 miles to see him? Alright, everybody back on the bus. We're going home, to California.
Max: Doc, California isn't home to all of us.
Dr. Robert: What can I say? You're either on the bus, or off the bus.
