Hair

This is the first Hollywood musical I've seen and it was nice to get a glimpse of this genre of movies. For an average movie goer such movies may not hold much appeal. Because you never know when the characters may break into a song making you go, "Dude. Not again!"

Apart from the insane song and dance that largely interrupts the story progression, this is a good movie. To be frank I picked this movie just to feed by curiosity about the hippie culture of the 60s. However the depiction of hippies in the movie looks very much fictitious something shown just to entertain.

The movie is inspired by the broadway musical going by the same name. The movie is set in the political scenario of the 60s, involving the Vietnam war and the hippie movement in response to it. However the subject is just used as a backdrop, and prime focus involves the story and humor.

Watch this one, if you want to watch something different and are patient enough to sit through the countless song sequences. Hair, is strictly good.

My rating- 2/5
