Hair (DVD, Repackaged)

LOVE this movie....it's timeless.
Could very well be set in today's time.
The play was pure genius...this movie comes close.
Treat Williams and John Savage are great in this.
The ending stays with you forever!

The storyline is kind of sketchy, concentrating more on character development throughout the movie. Each of the characters basically did little more than hanging out talking/singing about life. It bears some powerful socio-political messages that would likely escape anyone who's not really paying close attention to what the songs are trying to convey. I really don't believe it's representative of the majority of those who lived the hippie lifestyle so much as it is a coming-of-age story centered around those who merely skirted that choice. It's still worth watching at least once if you were a teenager/20's during the late 60's/early 70's or you have an interest in that era. It's difficult to truly convey what that era was like. As the cliche goes: If you remember the 1960's, you weren't really there.

What a picture. It is better than the Stage Show. The story line is just fantastic and it shows the division our generation faced during the Viet Nam War. We were dying in a far off land and the teenagers were practicing piece and open sex. This is a blue print for the '60's.

It is one of those things where I have rented it before and loved the songs and singing and dancing etc. It is a unique show and even thought it was done in 1979 it still relates and still hits home. I bought it because I have always wanted to buy it but put it off. It is pretty cheap for what you get and it is one of those movies that can be watched a bunch of times because it is straight up entertainment.

Defiantly worth any price. This movie is moving and eye opening to the horrors of war and the love of friends. Incredible music and an excellent cast. A must see by all.

I love everything about it. Wish I had it sooner. I'm thinking of buying another copy just in case something happens to this one.

Excellent movie. Saw it for the first time. Relived those years very vividly. What a surprise: I remembered most of the lyrics.

Thanks alot!

I wanted to see the play when it first came out, but I was too young. The movie brings back a flood of memories of a very enjoyable time in my life. Anyone 50 and over should see it!

all time greatest A few verses from "Manchester, England" and a small portion of "Walking In Space" have been removed. The film omits the songs "The Bed", "Dead End", "Oh Great God of Power", "I Believe in Love", "Going Down", "Abie Baby," "Air," "My Conviction," "Frank Mills," and "What a Piece of Work is Man" from the musical. The latter five songs were originally recorded for the film, but were eventually cut, as they slowed the pace of the film. They can be found on the motion picture soundtrack album, although they were omitted on the 1990 reissue. While the songs "Don't Put It Down" and "Somebody To Love" are not specifically sung by characters in the movie, they are both used as background or instrumental music for scenes at the army base. There are several other differences from songs in the movie and as they appear on the soundtrack, mainly in omitted verses and different orchestrations.

The plot is changed in the film. Many of the songs have been shortened, sped up, rearranged, or assigned to different characters to allow for the differences in plot. Opinions are mixed as to whether the film was an improvement over the stage show.

In the original stage show, the character Claude Bukowski is a hippie who eventually joins the army and is sent to Vietnam. In the movie, the plot was changed so that Claude comes to New York City from Oklahoma after he is drafted and befriends a group of hippies before being sent to Army training camp. They introduce him to their psychedelically-inspired style of living, and eventually drive to Nevada to visit him at a training camp. In the play, Claude is from "dirty, mucky, polluted Flushing," in Queens, but wishes he was from "Manchester, England," which explained why he sang a song with that title. The song remains in the film, though with a joking introduction by Berger - "he just got off the boat" - to make it apply to Oklahoma native Claude.

In the musical, Sheila Franklin is a hippie who falls in love with Berger, not Claude. Jeannie was "knocked up" by a speed freak, not by either Woof or Hud.

Arguably, the most extreme change is Berger's death in the finale. In the original play it is Claude who dies in Vietnam.

i had vhs tape but wanted to upgrade to dvd. i had seen musical on tv and liked it. i would have liked interviews with all the main cast members in the bonus section. i also would have liked to see if there were any bloopers that happened during filming. on whole i am VERY satisfied with this dvd.

He is a good seller let see the item.I hope every thing will go fin.We will see within next month if me hair will grow.

This musical classic comes to the big screen with Treat Williams in an early, yet excellent performance in his young acting career as Berger. Berger & his hippie friends meet up with rural boy, Claude Bokowski, on his way to New York to be processed into the Army and sent to Vietnam. Claude meets a girl and Berger and his friends give him a wild time before he leaves for the military. The ending is one that will not be soon forgotten.
I shared this movie with my 13 year old son & he enjoyed it so much that when it became missing during a recent move, we replaced our VHS copy with a DVD copy found on ebay. If you like musicals, you'll love Hair!! If you have never seen this movie, see it now. If you already have seen it, see it again!!

A very fast shipping ang good service. I will recomend this sender becouse it is really worth to buy with him.

I have a friend that loves musicals, and this was on her wish list. She was very happy to receive this movie. I enjoyed watching it with her.

HAIR IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER MADE! ITS A MUSICAL WITH LOTS OF 1960'S THEMED MUSIC. THE STORYLINE IS ABOUT THE DRAFT,VIETNAM WAR,AND THE FREE LOVE OF THE 60'S. I JUST HAD TO BUY IT AND ADD IT TO MY COLLECTION. THERES LOTS OF STARS IN IT. THERES SOME PARTS IN THE MOVIE THAT WILL RAISE YOUR EYEBROWS IN QUESTION,MAKE YOU LAUGH TILL YOUR SIDES SPLIT AND MAKE YOU CRY.

This show is a Musical Show and if you were born years ago you will probably appreciate it more...it has lots of talented people in this show.. and some of these people are still in movies today only alot older.I bought the movie because i remember this show when i was younger and wanted to see it again...a good buy for all ages its something that actually happened in the 60's

Quick and easy transaction. Great seller! Movie was in excellent condition. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. To find it on Ebay and have such a smooth transaction was just icing on the cake.

I love musicals. I'm older and was into the flower child scene but changed with time. I was not happy with the racially charged songs. When I bought the movie, I did not know it had that content or I would have given more thought to it. I decided to buy it because I had never seen it before and I worked on a movie set with John Savage ("BUFFALO BUSHIDO")and I admire him as an actor. I wanted to see more of his work. I also saw "The Deer Hunter" and appreciated his acting prowess.

Anyone who saw the actual play in the 70's or listened to the original broadway soundtrack will be disappointed! The music is more of a folk-beat. The acting is average. The story drags on so long & loose that you wonder how much longer until "we get there."

I love everything about this movie. I decided I needed it on DVD (VHS? meh). I became (re)obsessed with it after watching the charmingly clumsy takeoff at the end of 40-Year Old Virgin. A must for anyone who was (sorta) there, and retrochildren of all ages!

This is a must have. Iconic '60s, it says it all. What great memories!

Get it before they sell out.

This movie took me back to the era that I grew up in.I witnessed my friends going off to war,my friends getting high on drugs,my friends getting married & having babies,all at the same time.It encompasses everything,even what is happening in this time.It IS the dawning of the age of Aquarius---sooner than we think!

I just remembered going to the movies way back when and seeing this movie. I probably saw this movie 20 times at the theater! I loved it then, and I still love it now. It is a very fitting tribute to the turbulent spirit of the 60's. The music is great and the cast does a great job! I will probably keep watching it. I don't think it's a movie that I can grow tired of.

I just love the move .even though I have the VHS version as well as seen it when it first came out at the Movie theatres I just Love it and would see over and over again
