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.
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.

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!
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.
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
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.
The visual of the soldiers marching into the black void of the airplane makes me break into tears every time. Brilliant cinematography and choreography.

+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 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.

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 .
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!
@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 .
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.
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.
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.
The scene, when they marching inside that plane, and disapperar in the dark, like a huge mouth, witch swallow them whole...that was Vietnam itself...this is one of the most powerful scenes for me...
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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 🎵🎶
But also people should enjoy freedom and democracy and that, ideologies that takes away these rights should stop spreading such influence on other countries.
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.
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
...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.
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.
That "That's me ! That's me ! That's meeeeeee !!!" before Claude enter the darkness of the plane is like "please, i am someone. I am not just Cannon fodder, I am a human being". It's heartbreaking.
Someone didn’t watch the movie… that wasn’t Claude. It was Berger. He was singing Claude’s song because he was confused for Claude and sent to Vietnam.
@@rukeyser I saw this movie ages ago, was Berger intentionally going to the War instead of Claude? Somehow this is what I remember but I cannot clearly remember the whole thing.
@@xeronylloyd21 Here ya go & glad to help - Short form: NOT intentional. And like most of the film - NOT in the play. ………. Compiled & edited from 2 sites: For the record, the plot is so different in the film, that many of the songs were shortened, sped up, rearranged, or assigned to different characters to fit them in. *In original stage show, Claude Bukowski is a New York hippie who is drafted, sent to Vietnam, and dies there. That’s it. *In the MOVIE, Claude comes to New York City from Oklahoma after he is drafted, and is befriended by a group of hippies before being sent to Army training camp. They introduce him to their lifestyle & psychedelics before he leaves for boot camp. THEN they drive to Nevada to visit him at training camp. *In the play, Claude is from "dirty, mucky, polluted Flushing," in Queens, but wishes he was from "Manchester, England.” (cf:The “British Invasion”) The song’s inclusion in the FILM is too preposterous to describe. Other changes: Hippie Sheila Franklin is falls in love with Berger, not Claude. Jeannie was "knocked up" by a speed freak, not by either Woof or Hud. ** The most extreme change is Berger's death in the finale. In the original play it is Claude who dies in Vietnam. Here’s the sequence in detail: Berger cuts his hair and dons the uniform, drives onto Army base, finds Claude and offers to replace him for the next headcount so that Claude can attend the group’s going-away picnic in the desert. But just after Claude slips away to the picnic, the base is fully activated and begins immediate ship-outs for Vietnam. Horrified, BERGER is herded onto the plane to be shipped out. Claude returns and frantically pursues Berger's plane in vain.
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.

Hi..judit..i m american..but Now i m in Poland.. because i m a soldier. I love this music...i love This movie..and i love peace.but i also Think that sometimes freedom and peace are too precious and we must defend them also with the weapons! Think about : do you Think is possible..to stop Putin only with some nice flags.. And the word PEACE ?...I Have Many doubts about...my grandfather fouhgt in Europe during second w.w..He saw what Hitler did....He always told me these words: "if you are not able to fight for freedom..you have no right to live in peace!".
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 🙏
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.. :)
Director Milia Forman’s masterpiece and the great cast including Treat Williams, John Savage, and others I can’t recall off my head. RIP Treat Williams “Berger”. #Hair
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!
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 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 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.
Lyrics: We starve, look at one another, short of breath Walking proudly in our winter coats Wearing smells from laboratories Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasies Listening for the new told lies With supreme visions of lonely tunes Somewhere, inside something there is a rush of Greatness, who knows what stands in front of Our lives, I fashion my future on films in space Silence tells me secretly Everything Everything Manchester, England, England Manchester, England, England Across the Atlantic Sea And I'm a genius, genius I believe in God And I believe that God believes in Claude That's me, that's me, that's me.... We starve, look at one another, short of breath Walking proudly in our winter coats Wearing smells from laboratories Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy Listening for the new told lies With supreme visions of lonely tunes Singing our space songs on a spider web sitar Life is around you and in you Answer for Timothy Leary, dearie Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in (Oh, why don't you let the sunshine Just let the sunshine in, the sunshine in) Oh...Let the sunshine, You oughta let the sunshine in the sunshine in, Why dont you let The sunshine in (Why dont you let the sunshine, Just let the sunshine in) Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in You oughta let Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in
One of the most devastating movie endings no one ever talks about. Claude just wants to spend one small afternoon away. And they foreshadow the ending with the first Manchester England song and Berger taking the bail instead of Claude. RIP Treat Williams. 😭😭😭
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 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.
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.
I deployed to Iraq and I love this song/scene. There is something so beautiful about doing and feeling the same thing as someone of a previous generation and having that historical connection even if those feelings are loneliness and fear.
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.

Heartbreaking, everything about this is so incredibly moving, especially as humanity continues to suffer. We cannot change history, but we can learn from it.
This is the saddest movie ending. He was doing his friend a favour and then got sent to his death during a war he was against.
The saddest thing I guess was that he couldn't do anything.
@@maybe1656
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?....

Ode George Berger.
I enlisted in October 1966. This breaks my heart. And then breaks it again. In late 1969 my sister and I went to see Hair. Still crying.
Thank you for your service. Thank you for protecting me and my family. You did a great job and I'm proud of you.

An amazing movie indeed! Paweł Mitkowski Kaizar Cantu
+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 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.
I was in grade 7 trying to save the environment and stop a war with protest
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.

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 . . .
+Robissoawesome7 Like no one would notice not his n.c.o,?not his squad mates?yeah right.
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 .

The harmony in this song is absolutely phenomenal
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!
I very good understand. If I listen, always cry. Our czech Milosh Forman, bravo.
I also cry. Child of the 60s. Such an important decade, it changed the world forever.
Did you hear it with West End Girls?
I’m 74, and all I could think of was ....they are so young.

@@arpadtichy4722Communist Czechoslovakia?
@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 am crying right now.

beshem shahar
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.
Not a thing. We have not learned one thing.
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.
This hits even harder today. RIP Trent Williams
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.
They went to stop the spread of evil (communism)--doomed to fail as it was.

I literally just finished watching it not 10 minutes ago. I'm pretty shaken up to he honest. What a powerful movie
The scene, when they marching inside that plane, and disapperar in the dark, like a huge mouth, witch swallow them whole...that was Vietnam itself...this is one of the most powerful scenes for me...
Sums up the times for the US. Bodies becoming Headstones.
adwfdrevg never seen this movie but was in awe in how beautiful and sad the imagery is.
no doubt! ! the most powerfull moment of the movie.
This feeling you described that is so true, I can still feel this like I did when I was 16 in 1987.
For me too
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.
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.
MAY GOD BLESS THEM ALL 😢😢
@@wendyladybug355laurie4 Amen to that! May God heal their pain and our pain.
Vietnam is different now, it is one of the fastest growing economies in South East Asia thanks to the Doi Moi Policy that eased economic restrictions.
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
I know, the ending made me cry too!
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.

Shedding tears now watching this RIP Treat Williams another great one lost. So grateful to experience this talent.
I get chills every time he sings as he enters the pitch black of the transport aircraft 😮
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.
A 77 ans, je ne peux m'empêcher de pleurer en revoyant ce film et surtout le fin. C'est un monument du cinéma américain des années 60.
I had the biggest crush on Treat Williams back in the day. Loved his acting, especially in this movie. What a classic performance. Rest easy, Berger 💔
Me too..i'm so sad...😞💔
One of the saddest scenes in film history as Berger walks to the plane. RIP Treat Williams.
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.
I am 65 years old and for me it is the song of hope that mankind once will stop these, all useless wars.
Emotional song.
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.
❤️❤️
“Boys go to a far off place while the old men who sent them get the only thing they want life”
His performance absolutely broke my heart. Rest in Peace Treat Williams
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!
He was the US Ranger Captain in The Eagle Has Landed.
agree
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.

But also people should enjoy freedom and democracy and that, ideologies that takes away these rights should stop spreading such influence on other countries.
Powerful scene. Treat Williams was a great talent. His passing is sad and unexpected, just like sequence. Rip good sir
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.

Bad luck you didn't stay in contact. You must were great group.
Did you grow up in that Recess town?

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

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.
Definitely the best scene in this movie. Very powerfull! It still gives me goosebumps, no matter how often I see this.
I would even dare to say that this might be one of the best scenes in the history of western cinematography.
rip Treat Williams. Your presence in this film was incredible.
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 feel like they've made the sentence: "Let the sunshine in" a very powerful combination of words.
That "That's me ! That's me ! That's meeeeeee !!!" before Claude enter the darkness of the plane is like "please, i am someone. I am not just Cannon fodder, I am a human being". It's heartbreaking.
Someone didn’t watch the movie… that wasn’t Claude. It was Berger. He was singing Claude’s song because he was confused for Claude and sent to Vietnam.
That was BERGER. Claude is the guy running after the plane. Berger is sent to Nam because he is mistaken for Claude...
@@rukeyser I saw this movie ages ago, was Berger intentionally going to the War instead of Claude? Somehow this is what I remember but I cannot clearly remember the whole thing.
@@xeronylloyd21 Here ya go & glad to help -
Short form: NOT intentional. And like most of the film - NOT in the play.
……….
Compiled & edited from 2 sites:
For the record, the plot is so different in the film, that many of the songs were shortened, sped up, rearranged, or assigned to different characters to fit them in.
*In original stage show, Claude Bukowski is a New York hippie who is drafted, sent to Vietnam, and dies there.
That’s it.
*In the MOVIE, Claude comes to New York City from Oklahoma after he is drafted, and is befriended by a group of hippies before being sent to Army training camp.
They introduce him to their lifestyle & psychedelics before he leaves for boot camp.
THEN they drive to Nevada to visit him at training camp.
*In the play, Claude is from "dirty, mucky, polluted Flushing," in Queens, but wishes he was from "Manchester, England.” (cf:The “British Invasion”)
The song’s inclusion in the FILM is too preposterous to describe.
Other changes:
Hippie Sheila Franklin is falls in love with Berger, not Claude.
Jeannie was "knocked up" by a speed freak, not by either Woof or Hud.
** The most extreme change is Berger's death in the finale.
In the original play it is Claude who dies in Vietnam.
Here’s the sequence in detail:
Berger cuts his hair and dons the uniform, drives onto Army base, finds Claude and offers to replace him for the next headcount so that Claude can attend the group’s going-away picnic in the desert.
But just after Claude slips away to the picnic, the base is fully activated and begins immediate ship-outs for Vietnam.
Horrified, BERGER is herded onto the plane to be shipped out.
Claude returns and frantically pursues Berger's plane in vain.
@@rukeyser I'm struck by people being an asshole while trying to help. Help or ignore. Drop the asshole bit.
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 film sequence always guaranteed to give me goose bumps and some tears in my eyes too.... 😥😩😭😭😭
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!

+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 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.
Not a week goes by when I don't listen to this song. A very handsome man, inside and out. RIP Treat Williams
Lyrics:
We starve, look at one another, short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasies
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Somewhere, inside something there is a rush of
Greatness, who knows what stands in front of
Our lives, I fashion my future on films in space
Silence tells me secretly
Everything
Everything
Manchester, England, England
Manchester, England, England
Across the Atlantic Sea
And I'm a genius, genius
I believe in God
And I believe that God believes in Claude
That's me, that's me, that's me....
We starve, look at one another, short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Singing our space songs on a spider web sitar
Life is around you and in you
Answer for Timothy Leary, dearie
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in
(Oh, why don't you let the sunshine Just let the sunshine in, the sunshine in)
Oh...Let the sunshine,
You oughta let the sunshine in
the sunshine in,
Why dont you let
The sunshine in
(Why dont you let the sunshine, Just let the sunshine in)

One of the most devastating movie endings no one ever talks about. Claude just wants to spend one small afternoon away. And they foreshadow the ending with the first Manchester England song and Berger taking the bail instead of Claude. RIP Treat Williams. 😭😭😭

Never cared for musicals but this ending still haunts me, 10 years after first seeing it
Aw man your missing out watch other classics from that era watch Cabaret and all that jazz
This film is still relevant today. War should always be the last resort and not a political game.

Watch All that jazz and cabaret and you’ll love them
it's one of the most beautiful scenes from all movies ever created
What movie is this from?
Shit. Hair, of course. I have never seen the whole movie.
Tears . Tears of profound sadness, and then tears of hope and joy , transforming, transformative tears . Thanks for posting
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! 🌈
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.
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!
I deployed to Iraq and I love this song/scene. There is something so beautiful about doing and feeling the same thing as someone of a previous generation and having that historical connection even if those feelings are loneliness and fear.
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
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.

Same thing...
me too
Guitar Lori me too at the age of 8
Guitar Lori - join the club, I'm teary eyed too, especially at the cemetery scene. I spent 3 1/2 yrs doing funeral honors for the dead. This rips my heart out.
Guitar Lori I remember watching this a a 4 year old the havering a nightmare about it.And my sister sang this song at the Herbuger theater and I started tearing up
The saying to end all sayings: "Only the dead have seen the end of War".
Or, as Joshua would say, "The only winning move is to not play in the first place."
Its plato
Heartbreaking, everything about this is so incredibly moving, especially as humanity continues to suffer. We cannot change history, but we can learn from it.
These two songs together never fail to break my heart.
