Woodstock Music Festival is like the temple of rock music, the event of hippies, and the ultimate meaning of the youth universe. Brave and rebellious, anti-traditional and cynical, mad and forgetful, passionate pursuit and yearning for freedom, fiery lament for the passing of youth, isn't that what Woodstock wants to convey?
The rhythm of the film is slow, and 450,000 young people rushed to the music festival peacefully in the crowd. Although there were young people swinging on the roof of the car with guitars, the bars filled with beer and cigarettes, and the hallucination of marijuana intoxication, However, it was completely impossible to see that this was a rock and roll event, and there was not even a minute of live concert footage. Always create elusive madness in the background. Create a Woodstock in the background that no one can see.
Perhaps it is because of Ang Lee that Woodstock from a Chinese perspective was created. The American culture in the 1950s and 1960s was full of infinite pursuit and desire for "freedom". The outbreak of World War II, the death of God and the alienation of human beings gave rise to a peep on the inner self. Young people, as the most active group, follow rock music and cherish their own universe. The film review is coming to an end. The male pig's feet have hallucinations because of drug use. The whole earth is like a deep sea in the dark night. The crystal-like purple nebula is rising in the center of the stage. This ethereal and light universe is created by young people who love rock music. universe. It is only here that I see the significance of Woodstock.
At the end of the film, the male pig's feet bravely left the small village that bound him. I think at this point, every young man who longs for freedom is agitated. Before the arrival of Woodstock, the male pig's feet had been bound in the control of the family in the name of love. With such a little talent and a little bit of his own independent thinking, naturally he is unwilling to drown in a lifeless small village and a mother with obsessive-compulsive disorder, have a meeting with a dull-looking neighbor aunt, and eat the usual must-order pizza in a crappy little bar. . (Ps: I would like to say that this mother who wears a curling service ball and an apron, has a loud voice, walks like wind, and is greedy for money is very cute.) However, when he looks at the rising splendor from a distance in the hallucination Universe, he has decided to leave. to find your own meaning. to pursue your own life and value.
Having said that, the rock music festival presented by Ang Lee has a taste of moderation, but in this bland and soothing rhythm, all the changes brought about by this event are revealed. Restrained passion and rational deliberation, I think, this is what Ang Lee, who is familiar with the theme of love and understanding, wants to express.
