I've heard so much about this film, that I was very excited to see what it was actually about and what it meant. However, the plot line was barely there, but it held together just enough to make the audience have emotional attachment to the characters. I see other films TRY to make the characters so lovable, but not quite like this movie.
The music was very "hippie"-ish and fits the life and beliefs of the time period of the Vietnam War. Choreography was amazing! Whoever choreographed this piece had a very good mind-set of what the music stood for, and how to portray that through dance.
Acting was very great, as was direction, and even those you don't necessarily like have some sort of charm about them. But, I have to warn you: get ready for a sad ending. But, if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have realized how attached I had gotten to the characters, and therefore how well this movie really was put together.
For all those hippies and radicals out there, for all the conformists and non-believers, for all who have ever just wanted to live life for the sake of living, this film calls your name and lets the sun shine.
