I am 68 years old and I still cry everytime that I see this movie clip. There are a lot of hidden messages in this sequence of scenes. This song evokes so many emotions --- fear, despair ... hope ... and even enlightenment. Pretty amazing!
The visual of the soldiers marching into the black void of the airplane makes me break into tears every time. Brilliant cinematography and choreography.
I just happened to rewatch this movie last weekend and was as shocked to hear about Treat's passing as I was the first time I ever watched this movie by the ending. So talented.
In the service then.....lost my best friend, college room-mate and fraternity brother in Vietnam.....the ghosts are forever with us. This film segment touches us all.
This song closed my mother's funeral service. It was one of her favorite movies. It was cloudy that day, but as the song was coming to an end the sun came out... Extraordinary experience.
My mother all ways made a big deal about February 2 ground hog day, she all ways wanted to know how much longer winter would be, she did pass away on Sunday February 2 ,1997 and my mother loved to go to bingo, she had bingo ink on her hand when we went to her viewing, it was like she was letting us know she was all right ❤ I love her and miss her a lot but I know I will see her again one day
That's a nice idea for my own one (j'y ajouterai une "sentence" -this word in french has one more meaning-. So let the c-Hem_tra-ils out) and let the sun shine in again). I'm no g-i-joe, I'm a g.j., a yellow vest. Let's shine all over La Terre! Cos' time has come! Don't cry, get out of your sad home and shout! Before dying.
Thank you for your service. ❤ I just pray that my son ages out before the next draft takes another generation. The reason I have always had a pit of fear in me, being the Mother of a precious son. My heart breaks for every Mother (& Father) who has lost her (& his) baby to this madness.

I am 77 and was drafted in 1965 when I was 19. So much was going on back then and if you were young like me, you wanted to grasp on to every bit of life and excitement you could. THIS was OUR GENERATION. We didn't know if we'd even be around to grow old.
Was stolen .. nothing is much like before isn't ... The hair was Stolen..the sun shine now is like all full of satan Worshipers. And criminals.. Soldiers barely articulates a note 🎵🎶
God bless you brother. I was conscripted at 18 into the south African infantry. I spent 8 months in the field fighting at Cuito Cannavale in Angola. I am only now beginning to find some peace. This was back in 87 88. God bless you.
They did swallow them up and proceeded to spit them out. Some came out okay, some injured physically and mentally, many came home with PTSD (as my ex-husband did and still suffers nightmares), some came home in a box. Sad and unjust time.
Many thanks for your husbands service, and just as much to you for supporting him. Im ex navy but i was in during a fairly quiet period during the 90's
Does anyone else want to cry because George was the best character in the film and he is just sent off so scared and alone? I know it's a fictional character, but you have to think about how many young men were sent off in similar ways.
+Robissoawesome7 Seeing the George character being shipped off this way made me think of all the people in history I learned about who were picked up unannounced from their lives and sent into slavery, to the concentration camps, etc . . .
Anner Chisline Human facial recognition reflex?you know in all the folks who serve with,order around,feed,transport and other wise keep track of,you know army stuff ,army folk?Sure they lost in that war but not for being unable to recognize or keep track of persons in their army.You don't seem to have a high regard for the average person's intelligence as many people I dare say a majority of people in the U.S.army are at least of average intelligence or above,so no I thought that scene a cheap, melodramatic and unnecessary addition on the part of the writer and director who both seem to feel the poor simple audience can't "get"their relatively simple point "war = bad". I liked the stage show much better .
My husband has never seen Hair, so I’ve been playing clips to show how many popular bangers are from the musical. As soon as I started this one, I just burst into tears. May future generations live in a world where the young aren’t sent to die for the greedy.
One of the underappreciated films by Miloš Forman, which gained its popularity gradually over time. For me it's one of his top movies, thank you and RIP.
That's one detail still bothers me to this day. So he took his friend's place by accident, and no one questioned or found out he was not that person, and still let him go to war without proper training? I know it is a movie and all, but come on! The military can't be THAT incompetent, right?.... Right...?
@@JulioLenin88 Dude, seriously, think about it. The military had access to files with photos of who goes with what name. In reality, Bergher would have been uncovered as an imposter LONG before he ever saw any kind of fighting, and would be cooling his heels in the brig, and the other guy would be hunted by MPs and feds and be sent to Levinworth.
@crypt5129 yes, that time it was CzechoSlovakia, and yes that time was a communism. Now we are 2 separate countries, and communism felt down in November 1989 .
I was in the Army in ‘70 and ‘71. This scene brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. Felt the same way when my wife and I saw Hair live in Chicago many years later.
My uncle, who was in the army at the same time, finds the scene overblown but likes the song itself. He also always points out that this scene would never have happened, as Berger would have been discovered immediately.
@@Ares99999 do you and your uncle do armchair deciphering all movies for others? IT"S A STORY with imagery to make you think ! did you think? or just say that could never happen/ neither will your hopes & dreams if you can't imagine
@Selim miles when fighting blind it's time to ask GOD for the victory & know HE is with You ~ all respect ~ LORD deliver Me from this struggle in the name above all Jesus & give us strength for the battle Amen/ speaking strength to those in it
@@Ares99999 thats lies we told us every day to keep living. Like to dont lose hope, many people dead every die because someone screw it or just didnt care....
+Kaizar Cantu I saw the musical back in 1975 (yeah, I'm old) and it was even more powerful then. Vietnam had just ended and the play was still hard hitting. It's a powerful story.
I first heard this song in the West End theatre in London in 1968 when I was 22 years old. It brought tears to my eyes then. I just listened to it again now as I turn 75 years old... and it still brings tears to my eyes!
...w 1982 roku w maju w Mrzezynie ogladalem w jednostce wojskowej jako szeregowy z 2 miesiecznym stazem bylem w kasynie oficerskim i ogladalem ten film , bylo nas 300 mlodych zolnierzy , byla cisza do ostatniej sceny.. nigdy tego nie zapomne.
This just hurts my heart so much every time I see it. So many boys I went to high school with were drafted and sent to Vietnam. Some never came home and those who did were so deeply scarred. It's impossible for people who lived through this time not to cry when they see this.
@Nuah Hazi no idea what you want to say ... to me a "nazi" is someone who invades other countries, tries to steal their land, commits war crimes and commits a genozide. Nazis believe to be superior and to have the right to dominate other people. Nazis have a totalitarian illiberal regime, oppress freedom of speech and protest, imprison journalists and murder politicians, have no separation of powers, fake elections and send people to war for the sake of their holy motherland whilst imprisoning those who protest against it. Commonly nazis like the tell story of being threatened by others - so all their crimes are justified. All of this accounts for Russia. Russia today turned into the nazigermany of the 21st century. Sad, because I had some friends from Russia but it is and remains a fascist dictatorship with a retarded society.
My mother, Nada Simić, was the leading star of 'HAIR' in former Yugoslavia, current day Serbia, between 1969-73. We attended the 50th anniversary of the musical last year in May, here in Australia. Not only were we both brought to tears by the phenomenal performance, but I got to experience, for those 2 hours, what a glimpse of life was like half a century ago. I felt a spiritual presence take me over, as I was incredibly moved by the elements of my mother's life and how humanity, as a whole, lived and breathed in harmony throughout that period in history. Greetings from my mother and I in Australia - she still sings to this day and she's almost 70 years old!
My whole life, I have never been easily moved. I sit here typing this as my country, Sudan, enters it's 35th day of war. And in these 35 days I have not been able to said a single tear due to numbness, but listening to this finally got me choked up.
Saw the original production of Hair in 1968, which was a phenomenal experience. This scene from the movie was totally masterful and out weighs that experience.
This is so powerful. Burger is not supposed to be there but gets sent to war. Symbolizes the time... these kids sent to die in a war they had no choice in fighting. Brings me to tears!
I also think it represents the implacable bureaucracy that couldn't be bothered to listen to what people like Berger were saying. Over and over he attempts to be heard and each time he is shut down by men who think he can't possibly have anything to say that's worth listening to.
I haven't seen the movie in a long time, but wasn't Berger drafted? If he was then he kinda IS supposed to be there. Other than that, you're totally right, the Vietnam War (and others) just killed men who were forced to fight.
my mom passed away today, and this was her favorite song. i remember those times when we listened it together... god i wish that she just come back for 5 mins and we can sing it again.. :)
2020 and at 64 years old I still cry here. Not just tears but sobs that come out from the deepest part of me. We haven't learn anything at all.
4 ปีที่แล้ว
Sure we did. As we look around and see the same racial tensions, wars, economic hardships, riots and division that we lived through back in the 60's...we've learned that history often repeats itself.
This is just heartbreaking. Not only that Treat Williams is gone, but just seeing this vid, listening to this song, it puts you right back in time. The boy who had asked me to the prom came home with no legs, my husband's best friend and best man came back in a body bag. So much death, and for what? It was a truly horrible time. War really is hell.
I remembered when i finished the high school, with all my class we have singing this together, that was awesome, i never seen them again. But the harmony was awesome.
+Super Sexy Neko Sounds like a cool school, you're lucky! It's so much fun running into the people from your youth when it's 20+ years later (28 years since high school here). It's even better when those same people have children now going into university! The coolest two so far have been the boy with an undiagnosed at the time mental challenge who is now a Special Olympics star athlete, and the boy with Cystic Fibrosis who wasn't supposed to live past age 12 and is now a dad and still living! Do what you can to catch up with them. It's so worth it.
Treat Williams. One of the most underrated actors ever. This was an Oscar worthy performance. I'd never felt dread, sorrow & beauty as a 10 year old in the theater, but in these 6 minutes I felt it all.
Not only Treat Williams is underrated - what about Milos Forman who re-created the musical and made it even better🥰 than the original? Just look - more than 32 mil viewings - People will never stop loving this masterpiece!
This is one of the most intense film endings ever. I am still crying and goosebumping everytime I see this. There are very few movies out there that can induce this heavy feelings, what a great masterpiece
The scene, when they marching inside that plane, and disapperar in the dark, like a huge mouth, wich swallow them whole...that was Vietnam itself...this is one of the most powerful scenes for me...
Here now after the passing of Treat Williams. So tragic. He seemed exactly as he did here- handsome, funny, outgoing. Future generations can watch him and smile, laugh and cry. RIP Treat Williams aka Berger. You are the best and will be missed
@@Silent_Ghoul The Russians, Chinese, North Koreans, Yemenis, and several other countries who want to attack other countries. Many factors cause all that hatred, envy, jealousy, etc.
This is one of my all time fav' movies. I must have watched it hundreds of times. Seeing Claude standing at Berger's grave with Berger's friends gets me every time.😢
film je legenda......gledao sam ga preko 30puta i uvijek je osječaj kao da ga gledam pri puta........film za sva vremena i sve generacije !!!!!!!! Let the sunshine in .....
I grew up listening to Hair. Too bad the play can’t been shown today. The play covered so much in a war that was not popular. Bless those who served and bless those who never came home.
I was on that conveyor belt of death. As a young LT, I know I would have been injured or killed. Fortunately for me, the war machine hesitated long enough for me to bail. Had that war gone on another two years, my entire life would have been different, if any at all.
Berger was truly a Man of Honor. He walked to his death without betraying his friend. The Bravest Soldier were... Bukowski was a real Man, Brave and Courageous, to go back, run to the plane, to rescue his friend...
This was a hell of a movie. Everything about it showed that we must change. We can no longer live this way. God Blessed the writers of the movie, music and the wonderful cast. It still brings tears to my eyes when I hear it.
What a powerful sequence. The rotors of the plane turning on gives me chills up into my hair, like something that's been set into motion and can't be reversed.
For me it's the propellers but also the plane taking off, banking to the right after takeoff and flying off into the distance carrying Berger and all those others to their far off fates. While Claude stands there anguishes able to do absolutely nothing about it.
I will never forget the Vietnam War veterans. I had a brother who enlisted before the inevitable draft. He saw plenty of action. I know several people (relatives, neighbors, & family friends) who were in this War, and many came back injured and messed up in the head. I've listened to the horrific stories and seen the photos. I remember when the Vietnam War was televised in the late 60's & early 70's as a child. It impacted me and still does to this day. God bless all who have served in the U.S. military. Bring the POW's & MIA's back home.
We performed this song in our school choire in grade 6. Nobody had a clue about the background of the song not even the teacher, except me, because I was brought up with the knowledge of the hippie culture. It even moved me back then when I was only 11 years old.
I was 11 years old when I watched this movie ,today I am 49 and still crying everytime I listen to this song or see this part of this movie !! The human spirit will always win !!!!peace and love to all !!
I can't watch this without breaking down in tears,,,I saw it in the theatre when it first came out, I was about 12,,me and my buddy went to a matinee,,,it was my first real exposure to the Vietnam War,,,and my dad was a Vietnam vet. Makes me cry to watch this every time,,so many messages in it.
The staging, cinematography, editing, music, singing . . . credibility aside, this is one of the most powerful sequences I have ever seen on film. And I've seen it many, many times. And it still gives me chills. (And my, God, Treat Williams has a stunning voice.)
Yeah, dream on. As long as those who organize wars are the farthest from it, and profit off from it, there will be wars. Power hungry old men sending off the youngsters to die for their cause. Not to mention weapon manufacturers that need to keep up their sales.
I'm 59 old years. I' m women. I live in Poland.My job is medicine doctor. And I always cry... This musical is the best , which I saw... Shato ba..,😢❤ And thank You .... 😥💝💗 It's beautiful !!!!!
This was my grandpa's song. He loved it, he loved Hair and was a really emotional person in the inside. Not a lot of people could see beyond the grim behaviour he had, above all in his last years. But I did. When he died two years ago, my mom was weeping home the other day and sometimes around in that very moment, the radio started playing Let The Sunshine In. I am not a religious person, I don't know if there is anything on the other side of the black veil. But when my mother called, while listening to this song and telling me, your Pop is sending this... I knew right away that everything is fine. That feeling was beyond world and comprehension. Maybe a coincidence. I don't know, I don't care. But for my mother and me, it meant the world. I love you, Old Bastard! I whish we could see one of the football derbies just one more time. You lived a long and good life, thanks for everything! And thanks for the song! One hell of a fucking amazing song.
I remember, when i was probably 7-8 or 10 years old... my mom told me about this movie. She even sang some of the songs. I was quite intrigued. And after a while, i watched it. One of the best decisions in my life. Truly, this isn't just a movie or a musical.. This is art. It changes you a bit, after you watch it. At least thats what happened to me.
+MartinezzThe MASSIVE PLOT SPOILERS AHEAD. IF YOU WANT TO WATCH IT FOR THE PLOT, STORY, ETC, PLEASE DO NOT READ FURTHER. A young man enlists in the military, then gets to meet fellow youngsters who are more about the "hippie" and free life. He befriends them, while meeting a woman he falls in love with. Everything is fine, but he must go to camp. His friends switch him to one of their own just to say goodbye, but the war breaks out and the said friend went to war, and sadly died. The movie itself really captures the spirit of the era. Worth watching.
+Mateus Deathbringer I always had the soundtrack to listen to before watching the movie/play and it takes on whole new meanings when you can see what the songs are actually about. (The 5th Dimension sing a few of them as well)
That's exactly how it has happened to me. It gives hope about the human world if i see people like you who know how good a movie like this is and who are inspired by this kind of art.
I'm sixteen and I absolutely adore this musical! As a Czech person, this is one of the things I can be really proud of (The director Miloš Forman is Czech!). ❤️
This scene always brings me buckets of tears ever since I first saw it Easter night 1979 while on tour in upstate New York. In fact, our entire group cried. There was not a dry eye in the packed theater - young & old. :’(
Such a seemingly cheerful and hopeful song put in this final scene gives the song more of a pleading and begging cry. "Please, let the sunshine in. Don't let this happen again." . And Berger so cocky and confident, always getting the last word in knowing that he was going to his death with that mournful look as he sings. Also the fact that he was buried under his real name showed how dehumanized the military had become. They knew he was the wrong man but did nothing to correct it. It didn't matter. He was just another body to them. But he wasn't, he was a person, a friend, and leader. Treat Williams conveyed all of that RIP, Mr. Williams.
This was one of my favorite movies growing up. My dad is a Vietnam veteran. He was like 19 when he was drafted. I can’t imagine the thoughts that will go through your head walking into the back end of cargo plane. Now my husband is active-duty Army and He was a marine during Desert Storm. This makes me cry every single time
My college performed HAIR last semester, it was my first show I did with them (I helped with mics) and GOD this song gave me chills every. Single. Night. It brought tears to my eyes. Having a bunch of college kids who just want peace singing their hearts out to this and having everyone in the cast and crew on the same page.. haunting and magical. An experience I won’t forget ever.
I remember hearing this on the radio when I was around 10 and my mom started crying. Confused I asked what was wrong and she said when I was older we'd sit down and watch a movie called Hair. We watched it together eight years ago and I still ugly cry whenever I hear this song
Als junges Mädchen habe ich das Musical mindestens sechs mal im Kino angeschaut und es hat mich als Teenager und auch heute immer noch berührt. Ich liebe die Musik, ich verstehe und fühle diesen Schmerz. Ich hoffe auf eine Zeit, wo die Menschen sich wieder besinnen, was wirklich wichtig ist im Leben und das ist nicht Krieg zu führen - es ist Liebe, Vertrauen und Zusammenhalt.
Bin grad über dieses.video "gestolpert" und mir geht es wie dir. - Ich habe sooo geheult nach dem Film ( vor ca 40 Jhr. im Kino) Und es berührt mich immer noch 😢😢 Schöner Kommentar von dir 👋 LG
I grew up when this was going on. I remember seeing this movie as a kid, with my older sisters, when my parents were not home (they wouldn't have let me watch it, I was maybe 5 or 6). We knew people who were in Vietnam at the time. This scene has been branded in my mind for 50 years. When it cut from the plane directly to his tombstone, I remember I said "Wait, that's it? He's just dead? That's not fair, he didn't have a chance!" The little kid that I was then was so deeply upset that this memory was branded in my brain forever. Nothing like the John Wayne movies we grew up watching. Just a frightened young man singing, then a tombstone in a field of tombstones. Powerful image. Pity peace and love and so on didn't break out all over... just more of the same.
Every time I watch it/listend to it I get goose bumps and tears in my eyes. I wished our politicians would feel the same. And seeing that (right now) about 2000 gave a "thumb down" scares me.
This was filmed at Camp Irwin, now Fort Irwin, CA about an hour north of Barstow. I worked at the restaurant that catered the crew buffet and we got to be extras and got paid but our hair was s long in those days we had to tuck it under the helmets . We were in those marching shots.
Thanks for that local information, Vince. That's an interesting detail. It certainly looks like a real army base. It's bleak enough even when drenched in southern Californian sunshine. Army bases are always bleak, no matter where they are in the world. This film clip from Milos Forman's film of _Hair_ from 1979 makes me quite nostalgic for the 1960s and the whole Vietnam War period.
Absolutely excellent cinema. Talk about cinematic eye. The shots of the two columns heading into the blackness of that plane, and then the plane flying out of the frame to the right and then the headstone and the protesting kids. The editing was really adroit also.
From the first time I saw him in this movie and afterwards, I’ve always had a liked him. Often times I’d come check out TH-cam clips from Hair and there he was. From now on it will be poignant whenever I hear the soundtrack to the movie knowing he’s no longer with us. You were a treat to us on earth, but I know you’re now entertaining the angels. RIP Mr Treat Williams 🙏
I was born in Bulgaria and I went to the cinema with my best friend… 80’ in Bulgaria and watching this movie was like a revelation for me; forever! It completely blowed my mind and made me fly to another world, one way ticket and eternal devotion for freedom, peace and Love ❤️
I watched this video months ago and fell in love with it so I did my research on this movie and saw its a musical involving hippies! So I bought the movie on eBay and watched it with my older brother and younger sister. We loved the movie. Great story and sad.
I am 68 years old and I still cry everytime that I see this movie clip. There are a lot of hidden messages in this sequence of scenes. This song evokes so many emotions --- fear, despair ... hope ... and even enlightenment. Pretty amazing!
Sorry my friend I am 66 Feel same like you So sad and so true
I remember parts of the movie on HBO when I was kid, so I watched it recently and realized the same thing...Thank god I was too young for Vietnam...
I still cry also.
Me too Phillip.
You must 69 now then
Nice
Treat Williams, thank you for this everlasting piece of art. Rest in Peace.
Everlasting ! We will love him forever
AGREED 💯😢
He made this movie rip Treat Williams ❤
Rest in peace, Tret. Your performance at the probably best musical movie in the history, will live forever
He just left us. R.I.P.!
The visual of the soldiers marching into the black void of the airplane makes me break into tears every time. Brilliant cinematography and choreography.
Me too...
this should be seen it on every school.
very powerful movie
It has the same effect on me.
Me too! I immediately break out into sobs every time this plays
One of the saddest scenes in movie history, the music just makes even more haunting. RIP Treat Williams

I am 77 and was drafted in 1965 when I was 19. So much was going on back then and if you were young like me, you wanted to grasp on to every bit of life and excitement you could. THIS was OUR GENERATION. We didn't know if we'd even be around to grow old.

God bless you brother. I was conscripted at 18 into the south African infantry. I spent 8 months in the field fighting at Cuito Cannavale in Angola. I am only now beginning to find some peace. This was back in 87 88. God bless you.
Thank you for your service. Glad you made it!
Great imagery with the darkness inside the transport planes, making it almost seem like it was swallowing the soldiers.
They did swallow them up and proceeded to spit them out. Some came out okay, some injured physically and mentally, many came home with PTSD (as my ex-husband did and still suffers nightmares), some came home in a box. Sad and unjust time.
Many thanks for your husbands service, and just as much to you for supporting him. Im ex navy but i was in during a fairly quiet period during the 90's

Does anyone else want to cry because George was the best character in the film and he is just sent off so scared and alone? I know it's a fictional character, but you have to think about how many young men were sent off in similar ways.
+Robissoawesome7 Seeing the George character being shipped off this way made me think of all the people in history I learned about who were picked up unannounced from their lives and sent into slavery, to the concentration camps, etc . . .

I was a big fan of the show Everwood. I didn't realize that Treat Williams was in this.
That was the point of the scene. They're all wearing the same uniforms and marching in organised lines, housed in bunks with their hair shaved off.

Human facial recognition reflex?you know in all the folks who serve with,order around,feed,transport and other wise keep track of,you know army stuff ,army folk?Sure they lost in that war but not for being unable to recognize or keep track of persons in their army.You don't seem to have a high regard for the average person's intelligence as many people I dare say a majority of people in the U.S.army are at least of average intelligence or above,so no I thought that scene a cheap, melodramatic and unnecessary addition on the part of the writer and director who both seem to feel the poor simple audience can't "get"their relatively simple point "war = bad".
I liked the stage show much better .

Actually there was lots he could do. There'd be some awful repercussions...but he could do a lot.
That's one detail still bothers me to this day. So he took his friend's place by accident, and no one questioned or found out he was not that person, and still let him go to war without proper training? I know it is a movie and all, but come on! The military can't be THAT incompetent, right?....
Right...?
@@JulioLenin88 crickets
@@JulioLenin88 Dude, seriously, think about it. The military had access to files with photos of who goes with what name. In reality, Bergher would have been uncovered as an imposter LONG before he ever saw any kind of fighting, and would be cooling his heels in the brig, and the other guy would be hunted by MPs and feds and be sent to Levinworth.

@Nuah Hazi no idea what you want to say ... to me a "nazi" is someone who invades other countries, tries to steal their land, commits war crimes and commits a genozide. Nazis believe to be superior and to have the right to dominate other people. Nazis have a totalitarian illiberal regime, oppress freedom of speech and protest, imprison journalists and murder politicians, have no separation of powers, fake elections and send people to war for the sake of their holy motherland whilst imprisoning those who protest against it. Commonly nazis like the tell story of being threatened by others - so all their crimes are justified.
All of this accounts for Russia.
Russia today turned into the nazigermany of the 21st century.
Sad, because I had some friends from Russia but it is and remains a fascist dictatorship with a retarded society.

My mother, Nada Simić, was the leading star of 'HAIR' in former Yugoslavia, current day Serbia, between 1969-73.
We attended the 50th anniversary of the musical last year in May, here in Australia. Not only were we both brought to tears by the phenomenal performance, but I got to experience, for those 2 hours, what a glimpse of life was like half a century ago. I felt a spiritual presence take me over, as I was incredibly moved by the elements of my mother's life and how humanity, as a whole, lived and breathed in harmony throughout that period in history.

Saw the original production of Hair in 1968, which was a phenomenal experience. This scene from the movie was totally masterful and out weighs that experience.
This is so powerful. Burger is not supposed to be there but gets sent to war. Symbolizes the time... these kids sent to die in a war they had no choice in fighting. Brings me to tears!

he is the guy who want a joke but he was put in real way.
I also think it represents the implacable bureaucracy that couldn't be bothered to listen to what people like Berger were saying. Over and over he attempts to be heard and each time he is shut down by men who think he can't possibly have anything to say that's worth listening to.
Berger*
I haven't seen the movie in a long time, but wasn't Berger drafted? If he was then he kinda IS supposed to be there. Other than that, you're totally right, the Vietnam War (and others) just killed men who were forced to fight.

2020 and at 64 years old I still cry here. Not just tears but sobs that come out from the deepest part of me. We haven't learn anything at all.
Sure we did. As we look around and see the same racial tensions, wars, economic hardships, riots and division that we lived through back in the 60's...we've learned that history often repeats itself.
Not a thing. We have not learned one thing.
This is just heartbreaking. Not only that Treat Williams is gone, but just seeing this vid, listening to this song, it puts you right back in time. The boy who had asked me to the prom came home with no legs, my husband's best friend and best man came back in a body bag. So much death, and for what? It was a truly horrible time. War really is hell.

This whole film had a huge influence on me as a teenager. It introduced a whole new group of young people to the tragedy of that war. Very powerful.
I grew up listening to Hair. Too bad the play can’t been shown today. The play covered so much in a war that was not popular. Bless those who served and bless those who never came home.
I was on that conveyor belt of death. As a young LT, I know I would have been injured or killed. Fortunately for me, the war machine hesitated long enough for me to bail. Had that war gone on another two years, my entire life would have been different, if any at all.
Modern Broadway could never produce a masterpiece like this

Berger was truly a Man of Honor. He walked to his death without betraying his friend. The Bravest Soldier were...
Bukowski was a real Man, Brave and Courageous, to go back, run to the plane, to rescue his friend...
Entering the barracks certainly showed him just how badly he'd screwed up.
This was a hell of a movie. Everything about it showed that we must change. We can no longer live this way. God Blessed the writers of the movie, music and the wonderful cast. It still brings tears to my eyes when I hear it.
Where is this anti-war/anti-establishment crowd now?
Things change but not for better unfortunately
What a powerful sequence. The rotors of the plane turning on gives me chills up into my hair, like something that's been set into motion and can't be reversed.

Convergence is a very painful thing..
For me it's the propellers but also the plane taking off, banking to the right after takeoff and flying off into the distance carrying Berger and all those others to their far off fates. While Claude stands there anguishes able to do absolutely nothing about it.
I will never forget the Vietnam War veterans. I had a brother who enlisted before the inevitable draft. He saw plenty of action. I know several people (relatives, neighbors, & family friends) who were in this War, and many came back injured and messed up in the head. I've listened to the horrific stories and seen the photos. I remember when the Vietnam War was televised in the late 60's & early 70's as a child. It impacted me and still does to this day. God bless all who have served in the U.S. military.

This was my grandpa's song. He loved it, he loved Hair and was a really emotional person in the inside. Not a lot of people could see beyond the grim behaviour he had, above all in his last years. But I did. When he died two years ago, my mom was weeping home the other day and sometimes around in that very moment, the radio started playing Let The Sunshine In. I am not a religious person, I don't know if there is anything on the other side of the black veil. But when my mother called, while listening to this song and telling me, your Pop is sending this... I knew right away that everything is fine. That feeling was beyond world and comprehension. Maybe a coincidence. I don't know, I don't care. But for my mother and me, it meant the world. I love you, Old Bastard! I whish we could see one of the football derbies just one more time. You lived a long and good life, thanks for everything! And thanks for the song!

That's awesome. Not sure why but I don't associate this song/play/movie with grandparents whatsoever.
That's because the young people in the film aren't really old now. We're still that age inside.
I remember, when i was probably 7-8 or 10 years old... my mom told me about this movie. She even sang some of the songs. I was quite intrigued.

+MartinezzThe MASSIVE PLOT SPOILERS AHEAD. IF YOU WANT TO WATCH IT FOR THE PLOT, STORY, ETC, PLEASE DO NOT READ FURTHER.
A young man enlists in the military, then gets to meet fellow youngsters who are more about the "hippie" and free life. He befriends them, while meeting a woman he falls in love with.
Everything is fine, but he must go to camp. His friends switch him to one of their own just to say goodbye, but the war breaks out and the said friend went to war, and sadly died.
The movie itself really captures the spirit of the era. Worth watching.
+Mateus Deathbringer I always had the soundtrack to listen to before watching the movie/play and it takes on whole new meanings when you can see what the songs are actually about. (The 5th Dimension sing a few of them as well)

This scene always brings me buckets of tears ever since I first saw it Easter night 1979 while on tour in upstate New York. In fact, our entire group cried. There was not a dry eye in the packed theater - young & old. :’(
I cried all the way home
My fav fiilm .
Such a seemingly cheerful and hopeful song put in this final scene gives the song more of a pleading and begging cry. "Please, let the sunshine in. Don't let this happen again." .
And Berger so cocky and confident, always getting the last word in knowing that he was going to his death with that mournful look as he sings.
Also the fact that he was buried under his real name showed how dehumanized the military had become. They knew he was the wrong man but did nothing to correct it. It didn't matter. He was just another body to them. But he wasn't, he was a person, a friend, and leader.
Treat Williams conveyed all of that

Bin grad über dieses.video "gestolpert" und mir geht es wie dir. - Ich habe sooo geheult nach dem Film ( vor ca 40 Jhr. im Kino) Und es berührt mich immer noch 😢😢 Schöner Kommentar von dir 👋 LG
J ai vu cette guerre dans les années 65 gaspillage de vie pour rien rip aux soldats
Да не будет такого.Люди всегда будут убивать друг друга.Такова природа человека,к сожалению.
This ending is so strong..You can feel what they feel. Especially George..War isn't what we were designed for
Still our specie still want to fight.
My whole family was at some point in the army I will go to continue
The family tradition
I wish you luck.
Its exactly what we were designed for the human being is evil and greedy and will kill to get what he wants
unfortunately we are one vietnam vet said it well '' we are not the top species on the planet because are nice''
That voice!
Wow, I love the way the camera travels around her as she gives out that….. amazing voice!
I grew up when this was going on. I remember seeing this movie as a kid, with my older sisters, when my parents were not home (they wouldn't have let me watch it, I was maybe 5 or 6). We knew people who were in Vietnam at the time. This scene has been branded in my mind for 50 years. When it cut from the plane directly to his tombstone, I remember I said "Wait, that's it? He's just dead? That's not fair, he didn't have a chance!" The little kid that I was then was so deeply upset that this memory was branded in my brain forever. Nothing like the John Wayne movies we grew up watching. Just a frightened young man singing, then a tombstone in a field of tombstones. Powerful image. Pity peace and love and so on didn't break out all over... just more of the same.
Every time I watch it/listend to it I get goose bumps and tears in my eyes. I wished our politicians would feel the same. And seeing that (right now) about 2000 gave a "thumb down" scares me.
I feel the same. It depicts the past present and future of what civilization does to man, all in just a few words.
It is the first time I accidentally came across this musical (now, for sure, will watch it as a whole) and feel exactly the same...
Agree. We just may be watching history repeat itself.
Flavia Renevey There is over 70k thumbs up. That outweighs 2k down.

Small comforts in this day and age.
I've never watched this movie before in my life but this song gave me massive chills...
Great play too
rip Treat Williams. Your presence in this film was incredible.
What a powerful.anthem for love and peace instead of hate and distruction.
Thankyou composer Galt McDermot. May you rest in peace.
This was filmed at Camp Irwin, now Fort Irwin, CA about an hour north of Barstow. I worked at the restaurant that catered the crew buffet and we got to be extras and got paid but our hair was s long in those days we had to tuck it under the helmets . We were in those marching shots.
AWESOME!
We were somewhere around Barstow,on the edge of the desert,when the drugs began to take hold...

Thanks for that local information, Vince. That's an interesting detail. It certainly looks like a real army base. It's bleak enough even when drenched in southern Californian sunshine. Army bases are always bleak, no matter where they are in the world. This film clip from Milos Forman's film of _Hair_ from 1979 makes me quite nostalgic for the 1960s and the whole Vietnam War period.
How cool!!!! When I was a kid in the 60ies I knew the whole musical by heart!
Been watching this movie since I was a kid, I'm 52 now and this will never get old! One of the top 10 best movies ever made! RIP Treat! 🌈
His performance absolutely broke my heart. Rest in Peace Treat Williams
This scene still brought me to tears after this many years
I just played it twice....... 🙋♂️🎵
Absolutely excellent cinema. Talk about cinematic eye. The shots of the two columns heading into the blackness of that plane, and then the plane flying out of the frame to the right and then the headstone and the protesting kids. The editing was really adroit also.
I agree 100%!! I cry every time I watch this
Never cared for musicals but this ending still haunts me, 10 years after first seeing it
From the first time I saw him in this movie and afterwards, I’ve always had a liked him.
Often times I’d come check out TH-cam clips from Hair and there he was.
From now on it will be poignant whenever I hear the soundtrack to the movie knowing he’s no longer with us.
You were a treat to us on earth, but I know you’re now entertaining the angels.
RIP Mr Treat Williams 🙏
I was born in Bulgaria and I went to the cinema with my best friend… 80’ in Bulgaria and watching this movie was like a revelation for me; forever!
It completely blowed my mind and made me fly to another world, one way ticket and eternal devotion for freedom, peace and Love ❤️
I watched this video months ago and fell in love with it so I did my research on this movie and saw its a musical involving hippies! So I bought the movie on eBay and watched it with my older brother and younger sister. We loved the movie. Great story and sad.
See a remake of the play..it was much more powerful...and painful. Really brings home what happens.
I just...how can people not like this movie? Granted, the play is a masterpiece, but hot damn this is a spectacular movie.
Not a week goes by when I don't listen to this song. A very handsome man, inside and out. RIP Treat Williams
