A Classic

Even if you don't usually like musicals, like me, you should still like this one, it is one of my all time favorites. It has some classic songs in it, including "Easy to be Hard", one of the very few that we are forced to listen to at work that I actually like, here are the lyrics to it:

"How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard, easy to be cold

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud, easy to say no

{Refrain}
Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend, I need a friend

How can people be so heartless
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to be proud, easy to say no

{Refrain}

How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be proud, easy to say no
Easy to be cold, easy to say no
Come, on, easy to give in, easy to say no
Easy to be cold, easy to say no
Much too easy to say no

Lyrics by James Rado

It has a young Treat Williams and John Savage, the latter playing a country boy who goes to the big city before he is supposed to go in the military. He meets a bunch of cool hippies led by Treat's character. There are some other classic songs in it like "Aquarius" and "Good Morning Starshine". Glad to see it on DVD. A bit of trivia via IMBD, it was the highest grossing film in Hungary in 1980. You can watch the trailer there, too, at IMBD. This is a very entertaining film, check it out.

Musicals are back!!!

I recently took a trip to Utah, and saw Treat Williams in a local restaurant. Our host mentioned this movie that he was in..therefore I purchased it as a THANK YOU for our stay..she said she laughed her [...] off watching this movie..now I wished I had bought a copy for myself!

Favorite Movie Ever

This is one of my all time favorite movies ever. No extras but that's ok because the movie is just so timeless.

Fantastic musical!

This movie was upbeat and fast paced. An extremely interesting storyline taking place during an extremely interesting time period in America. The tunes were catchy and I recommend buying the original broadway soundtrack- you'll memorize every song before you know it :-P
I actually had to watch this movie for my Asian Religions class...it's amazing what intellectual insights you can gain from this movie!

Having acted Hair.. the movie seems too shallow

As a child of the 60's (1963) I never had the chance to see the plays that must have touched sensitive if not censored issues revolving around those days.. I had the chance of playing it in english here in Caracas in 1983 while in my early 20's.., by going ove the script and the music I got an appreciation for the depth of the play and its musical mastery!! well even in 1983 the director's decided to censor certain "nationalistic" questionings.. so I still hope that sometime I will get a full non-censured performance, is that too much to ask of life?

After this introduction I was excited on seeing the movie.. and what a disappointment, both musically as well as in performance.. and censored!!!! In the play we made people cry at Bergers death..in here, well see for yourself
