Hair description The Age of Aquarius is brought to life by the filmmaker who made Amadeus a household word. Milos Forman directed this version of James Rado, Gerome Ragni, and Galt MacDermot's landmark musical in 1979 between his Oscar-winning films One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Amadeus.

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | All the aftertaste of a good long vomiting |
| As someone who despises the filthy, trashy, moronic hippie subculture that this cinematic atrocity (and the play that it was adapted from) were inspired by, I must admit that I have a peculiar bias against "Hair." This extraordinarily stupid film is notable for being the culmination of a '70s trend wherein corporate interests had entirely co-opted the witless counterculture; this particular disaster was produced almost a decade after the expiration date of that phenomenon. That Forman directed this doesn't make it any less painful. After all, he's also responsible for "Ragtime."
My entirely natural revulsion for the trappings of this movie has nothing to do with the fact that the performances are forced and wooden during its dramatic sequences, that its songs are embarrassingly hokey and that almost every aspect of its production - musical arrangements, choreography, set design - is hopelessly dated in a way that's neither charming or nostalgic. The whole film is nothing more or less than embarrassing. If you watch this with your friends, the results will be similar to those experienced during the accidental family reunion screening of a twenty-year-old home video of two cousins diddling each other. My Mom thought that she liked this insipid film until she watched it last year and marveled at how incomparably bad it is. If your parents are boomers, they might also share her former questionable taste. But it would be a mistake to pretend that the majority of young Americans are any smarter now than they were back in the confused, degenerate 1960s. If you ever come across a former hippie and find him pleasantly reminiscing over his dead little era and whining over the anti-intellectual ugliness of hip-hop, you should nod approvingly (because god knows, he's entirely right about the repulsive idiocy of the present "youth culture"), and then spit in his old face for being a miserable hypocrite. |
