Taking Woodstock – Der Beginn einer Legende (2009)

Taking Woodstock – Der Beginn einer Legende: Directed by Ang Lee. With Henry Goodman, Edward Hibbert, Imelda Staunton, Demetri Martin. A man working at his parents’ motel in the Catskills inadvertently sets in motion the generation-defining concert in the summer of 1969.

“Taking Woodstock is a personal story about a young man finding himself at a time when his generation was trying to do that throughout the world. It is not a u0026quot;docudramau0026quot; about the event, so people expecting to relive the Woodstock festival, take note. Elliotu0026#39;s struggles and evolution through this unique event are another of Ang Leeu0026#39;s wonderfully textured allegories. That this fellow raised in China can so pointedly create the full emotional spectrum of the u0026quot;youth movementu0026quot; of that time is a testament to his artistry. This movie takes on a series of serious ideas with a light flair. Go in prepared to u0026quot;go with the flowu0026quot; and youu0026#39;ll leave feeling free, man.”
