    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.
    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!

      How wonderful! I'm so glad you had such a profound experience. That spiritual presence is real. And while it showed you, that evening, the harmony that lived in that period in history, know that "harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding, no more falsehoods or derisions, golden living dreams of visions" live with us all the time. We just have to be willing to see them and invite them into our consciousness. Blessings on you and your mother. My heart can hear her singing from here, halfway around the world.

      I’m 70 and was still in my early teens during the summer of love, but its effect on me was huge. I also saw Hair live in my late teens. As a European in those days America was my dream and I did manage to go there a few times. On my second trip, I went to San Francisco and later captioned my photos with “Haight Ashbury, where the one-time hippies are now ‘respectable’ parents of punks” (the term respectable was more tongue-in-cheek). I still say the 80s changed everything. Kids were more concerned with brands than politics.

    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.

    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.

      +Steve I saw it in '79, too! Loved it from the first time I saw it. I don't think I've ever seen a choreographer's style match the subject matter as perfectly as Twyla Tharp's did the hippie love children in this movie. She caught exactly the right flavor, with her tight-loose seemingly unstructured movements. (I especially love how she captures the time dilation effects of being stoned by occasionally slowing the dancing to a crawl and then speeding it up again.) And the way the story was adapted was great because let's face it, the play as written would have been impossible to film as a movie. It's brilliant, everyone is wonderful, and the music will always be glorious. :)

    I remember watching this movie when I was college senior during '79-80, after hearing about it from an Assistant Dean of Student Affairs. His recommendation that I see it was spot-on, with wonderful songs and dancing from the ensemble, which features actors John Savage and Treat Williams. These actors aren't associated with music but more with action and drama movies. That said, this movie using songs from the Broadway stage musical, clearly shows that the actors can demonstrate a range of vocal and dancing abilities that aren't always apparent, especially from action movie fans like me. Thank you, UA-cam, for making this movie available to us UA-cam viewers.

    The only part of the film which I liked: the departure of a countryside boy to the big city. Father's comforting his son and wish goodluck, morning scenery along the way, and there finally the sight of The Big Apple. This is one of the best intro I've ever seen. So many of us can relate to that.

    Aquarius is 1 Of my all time fav songs. When I was in High School all 4 years I did theater & my freshman year we did the musical Hair & I was cast as Claude the main character & this was in 1987. There was so much controversy over a high school doing this play. We were on all the local new channels & in all the news papers & parents of the school were trying to stop it from being put on my parents like my mom & dad fought for us. We simulated smoking joints on stage, they used rolling papers & put tobacco in them & they were really lit & we were smoking them & 1 scene (In the real broadway show the woman is nude) & when we did this scene the girl was in a flesh colored bodysuit & in the audience she really looked nude. We’re supposed put on 15 shows & with all the controversy we sold out every show & we ended up extending it to 20 shows because of the demand for people wanting to see it & the governor of our state came twice because he loved it so much. This was 1 Of my all time fav plays I did. We did 2 shows a year in my High School so I did 8 shows in my 4 yrs if high school. All the music in hair is incredible.

But it gives me hope the way this movie touched the hearts of people of different generations and from different countries. I wish we have peace on earth soon!

      Dressage is the French word for schooling and isn't inherently good or bad. Classical dressage teaches horses to carry themselves more efficiently, but the show world can of course be ugly with more focus on achieving high level maneuvers whether the animal is physically and mentally ready or not. The best horsemen and women I know give all of their animals a classical dressage foundation before training for a specific discipline, because when done right it's in the animal's best interest.

    • @Notwoke90
      @Notwoke90 3 роки тому +1

      It is not the first time that this type of concept distortion has occurred. When Uranus entered Aquarius at the end of the last century, the same "announcements" occurred as the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. Another big mistake. What determines the beginning of a new astrological era is the constellation aligned with the Sun during the equinox of 20/21 March. And this axis, still points to Pisces and will remain there till 200 years.

    • @davidgo8874
      @davidgo8874 3 роки тому +4

      Approximated dates for entering the Age of Aquarius range from 1447 A.D. to 3597 A.D. Some astrologers say the Age of Aquarius actually began in 2012. The star Regulus in the constellation Leo marked the ancient border between the constellations Leo and Cancer. This star moved to within 30 degrees of the September equinox point in 2012, meaning that Regulus left the sign Leo to enter the sign Virgo in that year. Presuming equal-sized constellations in antiquity, that places the border of the constellations Pisces and Aquarius at 150 degrees west of Regulus, or at the March equinox point. By this reckoning, the Age of Aquarius started in 2012.

    There are too many fantastic ideas and moments to mention. One of them though is the ingenious idea of vamping the intro for such a long time in the subdominant chord of the song. Essentially presenting it as the tonic chord of the song. Having the instruments play around that chord as if it was the tonic. Only to turn around when the singing starts and reveal that the tonic chord was actually the subdominant all along. And with such elegance one hardly notices the flip. Absolutely great composing.

    "Hair" Il film più bello che abbia mai visto. Dovrebbero darlo alla TV spesso. Rivoli di lacrime. Milos Forman è stato Grande

    Renn Woods knocked it out the f.kin park, maybe the most impressive vocalization I've ever heard, and that is just over a shitty phone speaker. Can't even imagine what that would be like in person. Whitney's "I will always love you" is the only thing I am thinking of that is even close. how much range and power she flexes with just the word "aquarius". But I could be way off.

    I watched this a few times this film but finally apprciared the artist view. We as Americans are either a brukosky or a berger but in the end we are all Americans which make this country great
