| Rating |  | | Date | August 03, 2005 | | Summary | A great musical for people who DON'T like musicals. | Content
 | Unlike GREASE which came out shortly before this (and hey, don't get me wrong. I love GREASE!), HAIR is less campy and "bubble gum". It has a darker, more edge flavor as it reflects on the turmoil of the Vietnam war and the hippie movement of the 60's. That being the case, those of us who generally don't like musicals (like me!) can appreciate the rock and folk style of the music and choreography of the dances.
It's also cool to go back and watch Treat Williams in this, especially after seeing such a hardcore performance in PRINCE OF THE CITY. |

| 'HAIR' is probably one of the most amazing movies I have seen, I enjoyed every minute of it! It is fun, energetic, and the end is just amazing! I recomend this movie to everyone. There are so many hidden meanings, but the film doesn't try and stick them right in your face. |

| I only watched this movie because I heard the main song from it, and was extremely curious how that could be a movie. So I went to my local video store to rent it, but they didn't have it. So I special ordered it. I can only say the movie is worth much more than what I payed. First off, the music is brilliant. The movie also seems to poke fun at certain stereotypes. It really is a classic. |
| Rating | | | Date | April 24, 2005 | | Summary | Hair is no longer the symbol of today youth. | Content
| The 60s, the hippies, the anti-war passion, the Vietnam War .... was it a lost generation of the youth? Or, was it the idealism, the cry against the establishment?
Today, there are many other types of wars, atrocities, claims of injustices, ... we don't have similar hippies movement! Is it a new generation who knows what she wants? Or, is it we have too many pre-occupation of greater things for the future ; the internet revolution, with information and knoweledge, promising and exciting technologies, SMS, MP3 ....

| Of all the contemporary musicals, Hair is probably the best stage to screen adaptation. The movie is actually better than the Broadway production. The cinematography is excellent, the actors are perfectly cast, the choreography is great, the music and songs wonderful, and there are lots of nice, subtle touches. This film does not just capture the time period in which it takes place, it also captures the spirit of peace, love, hope, equality, acceptance, and freedom, without forgetting boring things like responsibility and consequences. Hair is really one of the great American musicals, and deserves a place of honor. |
