The film I decided to watch for this assignment is Milos Forman's musical Hair. The movie si based off of the Broadway production of Hair. I chose Hair because it is the perfect example of a counter-culture film. Hair was not filmed in the 60's, however the storyline of the film is set in the 60's, during the Vietnam War. Hair addresses issues of war, hippie-culture, race and class.
Hair follows the story of Claude, and young man who goes to New York City and meets group of Hippies who introduce him to a new world involving drugs, class struggles,social justice, and love.
The attached clip is the opening of the film and the song "Aquarius", one of my favorite songs from the movie.
