First off, this is not a Woodstock documentary. It is a story that just happens to center around the event. The film is an adaptation, so it has a general script to follow and still has to adjust to becoming a visual experience. Some people were added others were combined for brevity.
Not saying you will appreciate the movie any better, but you definitely need to watch the voice-over commentary to see what was trying to be produced.
I thought it was cute but nothing worth re-watching. Not that I would ever take those substances that were imbibed in the movie, however, this was a much more accurate rendition than the earlier movies attempted to portray.
The introduction of the Character returning from Vietnam was for the movie and a tad over the top. However, I had just come back myself as was stationed at West Point (not too far away). I made it to the muddy parts but never to the stage. Other people may have been virtuous however, I know someone who made a bundle on selling a combination of oregano and tea mixture (which smell similar to other substances).
Anyway, I applaud the effort to make this film. I just do not see it having any social redeeming quality.
Well, one exception "No stuping in the bushes," Sonia Teichberg.
I only saw the Blu-ray version so could not compare it to other versions.
