Hair

I may not be a big music fan or expert, so I can't fully appreciate the often praised musical aspect of the film, but the strong anti-war message resonates deeply within me. The final scene, with the endless line of soldiers marching towards the plane and the camera focusing on the main character's face, is one of the most powerful scenes ever in a film with an anti-war theme. It's a snapshot of a time when the word "freedom" was echoed in every corner and the term "flower children" hadn't yet lost its meaning. Overall impression: 80%. (19/06/2006)

Hair is definitely one of the best movie musicals to ever see the light of day. I am still fascinated by the brilliant music and the story with its strong anti-war appeal, which even after many years since it was made can still appeal to the perceptive viewer. I'm really proud that Miloš Forman took on this classic and breathed life into it in the purest sense of the word. Like only he could... (26/11/2020)

Hair I wanted to see just because Miloš Forman directed it. However, it is necessary to be prepared for the fact that it is a musical and if you enjoy the music of the hippie generation of the seventies and eighties, you will probably enjoy it. I struggled with the music in a pretty crazy way, but the individual characters made up for it perfectly. Mr. Forman did not forget to depict the feelings of the individual characters even in this case, so despite the music not being interesting to me, there was something to watch. The highlight is the ending, which was worth waiting for an hour and a half. (05/03/2012)

I'm finally getting a bit more into Miloš Forman's work and I have to say I'm getting very excited. I was really looking forward to this musical. And it didn't disappoint, not one bit. It has great hippie songs, a fantastic anti-war atmosphere, and an absolutely brilliant ending where you don't know whether to laugh or just shake your head. This was great. (02/12/2015)

From an ancient school screening, I remembered Hair dimly as a good musical with good songs and a number of scenes that made us feel different things as teenagers. But today I finally saw Hair again, in the movie theatre, and I had to update my opinion. It is a great musical with genius songs and scenes directed in such a world-class way that one must once again admire the talent of Milos Forman. Whether it's the carefree odes sung and danced around parks, a hallucinogenic wedding scene or the finale with a troop-eating plane, it’s all amazing. It also of course concerns the acting and singing performances, and the lightness with which humor alternates with chills is also admirable. The world is about friendship, love, and freedom, says this film. Or at least that should be the point. And that applies all the time. Or at least it should. (29/08/2018)
