...of course he's baffled...he doesn't understand that the "Woodstock Nation" zeitgeist was very destructive...that's why the public doesn't want to plunk down cash to see this movie..if you want to see the damage, just go to any liberal arts department on any campus....yesterday's campus radicals became today's tenured professors.

I suspect that much of the younger audience that makes up much of the movie ticket buyers consider a film about Woodstock just about as interesting as a film about Lawrence Welk!

Ang Lee is under the illusion that we celebrate Woodstock here. On the contrary, we’ve come to view it as the nadir of baby-boomer self-indulgence.

imdb says:

Who plays the musicians at the concert?

No one. The concert isn't the focus. The focus is the hero's relationship with his parents and fear of "coming out".

No wonder no one is seeing this movie. It is not about "Woodstock" at all. It is about some random Jewish boy who comes out gay. Boring

Perhaps Ang Lee - rather than producing movies critical of American culture - should show some innovation and directoral bravery.

And produce a movie which portrays members of Mao’s long march as gay marchers. Rather than some dumb-a** portrayal of American cowboys.

I think Ang Lee is an anti-American racist.
