We dealt with a lot of problems in the 1960s and came out a better society. Today, we deal with problems and they get worse. The age of Aquarius was replaced by the age of greed. We advanced, but we really should go back.
All that love, all that gentle humor and compassion, all our work an determination to make the world a better place for everyone all those years ago. Did it matter at all? I look at the world around us and I wonder. I'm in my 80s now but I still have that desire for that world of harmony and understanding.
im 19 and watched this film for the first time two days ago, I was left with one dramatic tear down my face and a dropped jaw at the end of the film. I was aware of it growing up as my mum had the dvd but i never paid much attention to it and thought it looked weird, but my choir did this song and i thought you know what this is actually a banger so i asked her if we could watch the film together. She is Czech and remembers seeing this film in the secret screenings there when it was released so has a strong connection to it. Im glad i waited so long to see it because i can apreciate it so much more. Such a brilliant film, genuniely in my top 5 and i wish i had friends that would want to enjoy it with me and apreciate everything about it, contemplate the meanings, enjoy the songs, etc.
When a friend of mine lost his car keys one morning, he asked his three year old daughter if she'd seen them. She said, "It's in the darning by the edge of the aquarium."
My mother, Nada Simić, was the leading star of 'HAIR' in former Yugoslavia, current day Serbia, between 1969-73. She led the opening for each song - for 'Aquarius', they had her in a meditation pose, with flowers in her hair, pouring her heart and soul into each rhythm and beat.
Being born under the sign of Aquarius (Jan 21, 45) and being of the sixties generation this song has special meaning for me. I was born in Denmark, grew up 30 miles south of Copenhagen, came to the US in January 67 as an au pair in Westport Ct. Lived in Westport 67 and 68, then after a few month back in my native country came back to the US, and move with friends to New York CIty. I remember the cast of "Hair" giving a free concert in Central Park, sometime in 69, in 71 when I had moved to New Orleans with my then boyfriend we went and saw the whole musical. Still love the songs, and still remember the vibes from that era. It was the best of times i.e, music, freedom etc. it was the worst of times i.e. the Vietnam war the assassinations JFK, MLK and last, but not least RFK.
This movie was released in 1979, maybe a dozen years or so past the period it depicts, but this amazing opening sequence really captures that moment of cultural joy, hope and youthful defiance. How many times did I go to see this movie just to revel in this soul-lifting song and singer Ren Woods's jubilant declaration, not to mention Twyla Tharp's quirky, inventive choreography. Kudos as well to director Milos Forman, who did the impossible in bringing this groundbreaking musical to film.
This film is what I believe is referred to as a timeless masterpiece...Everything came together beautifully. Thank you to everyone involved...I can't wait to have kids so I can make them watch it.

Rest in peace, Treat Williams.
This entire scene is absolutely amazing and for me the two people dancing with the horses is the best part.

Best musical

When she goes "And the mind's true liberation" I am getting shiver and goose bumps all over my body.
Milos Forman-RIP....Great director....He also directed "Taking off" and "Amadeus" about Mozart's life
This film is what I believe is referred to as a timeless masterpiece...Everything came together beautifully. Thank you to everyone involved...I can't wait to have kids so I can make them watch it.
