"The Age of the Hippie"

Ang Lee, you said that he is not gay, I think I don't believe it, he must have a same-sex friendship. Thinking of the elegance of director Ang Lee, I think he must be affected. In fact, there are not many clips of same-sex friendship in this movie, of course, it is not as many as "Brokeback Mountain". Compared with the clip of gay men's love for men, I like the magical reaction of the protagonist after taking the psychedelic drug. He saw beauty that he had never seen in his life. The fluttering light and shadow are due to the abnormality of the optic nerve and pupil, and this abnormality shows a beautiful sense of beauty. It makes me want to eat a psychedelic drug like that sticker. The protagonist's mother is cute, and the transvestite defender is really manly. Behind a great music festival, there must be an ordinary story. Ang Lee told us an ordinary and beautiful story. At the end of the film, he also told us: life is to return and then leave and then return. The town style in the movie is really good, I really want to try that tempting chocolate milk.

    The two male protagonists are so good, so is Emile Hirsch

    Ang Lee after "Lust, Caution" needs a haven that can reduce stress, and Woodstock is such a utopian paradise. Ang Lee's knowledge of Chinese and Western cultures may not be reached by any Chinese director. The Brian de Palma-style screen division & semi-documentary technique, the psychedelic section is too powerful.
