I am 68 years old and I still cry everytime that I see this movie clip. There are a lot of hidden messages in this sequence of scenes. This song evokes so many emotions --- fear, despair ... hope ... and even enlightenment. Pretty amazing!

I just happened to rewatch this movie last weekend and was as shocked to hear about Treat's passing as I was the first time I ever watched this movie by the ending. So talented.
Does anyone else want to cry because George was the best character in the film and he is just sent off so scared and alone? I know it's a fictional character, but you have to think about how many young men were sent off in similar ways.
+Robissoawesome7 Seeing the George character being shipped off this way made me think of all the people in history I learned about who were picked up unannounced from their lives and sent into slavery, to the concentration camps, etc . . .
Anner Chisline Human facial recognition reflex?you know in all the folks who serve with,order around,feed,transport and other wise keep track of,you know army stuff ,army folk?Sure they lost in that war but not for being unable to recognize or keep track of persons in their army.You don't seem to have a high regard for the average person's intelligence as many people I dare say a majority of people in the U.S.army are at least of average intelligence or above,so no I thought that scene a cheap, melodramatic and unnecessary addition on the part of the writer and director who both seem to feel the poor simple audience can't "get"their relatively simple point "war = bad". I liked the stage show much better .
That's one detail still bothers me to this day. So he took his friend's place by accident, and no one questioned or found out he was not that person, and still let him go to war without proper training? I know it is a movie and all, but come on! The military can't be THAT incompetent, right?.... Right...?
@@JulioLenin88 Dude, seriously, think about it. The military had access to files with photos of who goes with what name. In reality, Bergher would have been uncovered as an imposter LONG before he ever saw any kind of fighting, and would be cooling his heels in the brig, and the other guy would be hunted by MPs and feds and be sent to Levinworth.
The scene, when they marching inside that plane, and disapperar in the dark, like a huge mouth, witch swallow them whole...that was Vietnam itself...this is one of the most powerful scenes for me...
In the service then.....lost my best friend, college room-mate and fraternity brother in Vietnam.....the ghosts are forever with us. This film segment touches us all.
This song closed my mother's funeral service. It was one of her favorite movies. It was cloudy that day, but as the song was coming to an end the sun came out... Extraordinary experience.
My mother all ways made a big deal about February 2 ground hog day, she all ways wanted to know how much longer winter would be, she did pass away on Sunday February 2 ,1997 and my mother loved to go to bingo, she had bingo ink on her hand when we went to her viewing, it was like she was letting us know she was all right ❤ I love her and miss her a lot but I know I will see her again one day
That's a nice idea for my own one (j'y ajouterai une "sentence" -this word in french has one more meaning-. So let the c-Hem_tra-ils out) and let the sun shine in again). I'm no g-i-joe, I'm a g.j., a yellow vest. Let's shine all over La Terre! Cos' time has come! Don't cry, get out of your sad home and shout! Before dying.
They did swallow them up and proceeded to spit them out. Some came out okay, some injured physically and mentally, many came home with PTSD (as my ex-husband did and still suffers nightmares), some came home in a box. Sad and unjust time.
Many thanks for your husbands service, and just as much to you for supporting him. Im ex navy but i was in during a fairly quiet period during the 90's

Here now after the passing of Treat Williams. So tragic. He seemed exactly as he did here- handsome, funny, outgoing. Future generations can watch him and smile, laugh and cry. RIP Treat Williams aka Berger. You are the best and will be missed
This is so powerful. Burger is not supposed to be there but gets sent to war. Symbolizes the time... these kids sent to die in a war they had no choice in fighting. Brings me to tears!
I also think it represents the implacable bureaucracy that couldn't be bothered to listen to what people like Berger were saying. Over and over he attempts to be heard and each time he is shut down by men who think he can't possibly have anything to say that's worth listening to.
I haven't seen the movie in a long time, but wasn't Berger drafted? If he was then he kinda IS supposed to be there. Other than that, you're totally right, the Vietnam War (and others) just killed men who were forced to fight.
This just hurts my heart so much every time I see it. So many boys I went to high school with were drafted and sent to Vietnam. Some never came home and those who did were so deeply scarred. It's impossible for people who lived through this time not to cry when they see this.
@Nuah Hazi no idea what you want to say ... to me a "nazi" is someone who invades other countries, tries to steal their land, commits war crimes and commits a genozide. Nazis believe to be superior and to have the right to dominate other people. Nazis have a totalitarian illiberal regime, oppress freedom of speech and protest, imprison journalists and murder politicians, have no separation of powers, fake elections and send people to war for the sake of their holy motherland whilst imprisoning those who protest against it. Commonly nazis like the tell story of being threatened by others - so all their crimes are justified. All of this accounts for Russia. Russia today turned into the nazigermany of the 21st century. Sad, because I had some friends from Russia but it is and remains a fascist dictatorship with a retarded society.
This is one of my all time fav' movies. I must have watched it hundreds of times. Seeing Claude standing at Berger's grave with Berger's friends gets me every time.😢
That "That's me ! That's me ! That's meeeeeee !!!" before Claude enter the darkness of the plane is like "please, i am someone. I am not just Cannon fodder, I am a human being". It's heartbreaking.
Someone didn’t watch the movie… that wasn’t Claude. It was Berger. He was singing Claude’s song because he was confused for Claude and sent to Vietnam.
@@rukeyser I saw this movie ages ago, was Berger intentionally going to the War instead of Claude? Somehow this is what I remember but I cannot clearly remember the whole thing.
@@xeronylloyd21 Here ya go & glad to help - Short form: NOT intentional. And like most of the film - NOT in the play. ………. Compiled & edited from 2 sites: For the record, the plot is so different in the film, that many of the songs were shortened, sped up, rearranged, or assigned to different characters to fit them in. *In original stage show, Claude Bukowski is a New York hippie who is drafted, sent to Vietnam, and dies there. That’s it. *In the MOVIE, Claude comes to New York City from Oklahoma after he is drafted, and is befriended by a group of hippies before being sent to Army training camp. They introduce him to their lifestyle & psychedelics before he leaves for boot camp. THEN they drive to Nevada to visit him at training camp. *In the play, Claude is from "dirty, mucky, polluted Flushing," in Queens, but wishes he was from "Manchester, England.” (cf:The “British Invasion”) The song’s inclusion in the FILM is too preposterous to describe. Other changes: Hippie Sheila Franklin is falls in love with Berger, not Claude. Jeannie was "knocked up" by a speed freak, not by either Woof or Hud. ** The most extreme change is Berger's death in the finale. In the original play it is Claude who dies in Vietnam. Here’s the sequence in detail: Berger cuts his hair and dons the uniform, drives onto Army base, finds Claude and offers to replace him for the next headcount so that Claude can attend the group’s going-away picnic in the desert. But just after Claude slips away to the picnic, the base is fully activated and begins immediate ship-outs for Vietnam. Horrified, BERGER is herded onto the plane to be shipped out. Claude returns and frantically pursues Berger's plane in vain.
My husband has never seen Hair, so I’ve been playing clips to show how many popular bangers are from the musical. As soon as I started this one, I just burst into tears. May future generations live in a world where the young aren’t sent to die for the greedy.
This is just heartbreaking. Not only that Treat Williams is gone, but just seeing this vid, listening to this song, it puts you right back in time. The boy who had asked me to the prom came home with no legs, my husband's best friend and best man came back in a body bag. So much death, and for what? It was a truly horrible time. War really is hell.
Afraid of reply? I see you write an answer just deleted it. Don't be afraid. Why are you cry? You Feel sad for ukraine? So you are a Nazi then? Or just a simple short minded idiot?
Hi..judit..i m american..but Now i m in Poland.. because i m a soldier. I love this music...i love This movie..and i love peace.but i also Think that sometimes freedom and peace are too precious and we must defend them also with the weapons! Think about : do you Think is possible..to stop Putin only with some nice flags.. And the word PEACE ?...I Have Many doubts about...my grandfather fouhgt in Europe during second w.w..He saw what Hitler did....He always told me these words: "if you are not able to fight for freedom..you have no right to live in peace!".
I will never forget the Vietnam War veterans. I had a brother who enlisted before the inevitable draft. He saw plenty of action. I know several people (relatives, neighbors, & family friends) who were in this War, and many came back injured and messed up in the head. I've listened to the horrific stories and seen the photos. I remember when the Vietnam War was televised in the late 60's & early 70's as a child. It impacted me and still does to this day. God bless all who have served in the U.S. military. Bring the POW's & MIA's back home.
I first heard this song in the West End theatre in London in 1968 when I was 22 years old. It brought tears to my eyes then. I just listened to it again now as I turn 75 years old... and it still brings tears to my eyes!
Guitar Lori - join the club, I'm teary eyed too, especially at the cemetery scene. I spent 3 1/2 yrs doing funeral honors for the dead. This rips my heart out.
Guitar Lori I remember watching this a a 4 year old the havering a nightmare about it.And my sister sang this song at the Herbuger theater and I started tearing up
My whole life, I have never been easily moved. I sit here typing this as my country, Sudan, enters it's 35th day of war. And in these 35 days I have not been able to said a single tear due to numbness, but listening to this finally got me choked up.
my mom passed away today, and this was her favorite song. i remember those times when we listened it together... god i wish that she just come back for 5 mins and we can sing it again.. :)
Saw the original production of Hair in 1968, which was a phenomenal experience. This scene from the movie was totally masterful and out weighs that experience.
+Kaizar Cantu I saw the musical back in 1975 (yeah, I'm old) and it was even more powerful then. Vietnam had just ended and the play was still hard hitting. It's a powerful story.
One of the underappreciated films by Miloš Forman, which gained its popularity gradually over time. For me it's one of his top movies, thank you and RIP.
Little known fact. In the scene where the military plane was taking off with the soldiers on board, the military allowed the production to use their plane and their base. They were on maneuvers during the production and couldn't spare anyone to fly the plane. So Treat Williams who is rated on all planes and helicopters and can also teach flying, was the pilot who did the flying in that clip. He was instructed by the base he could take off, then make the bank shot then return and land. He really wanted to take it on a joyride, but he complied. I love that fact.
"FACT?; Doubtful..Where's the Proof? References, quotes... Otherwise, just a bunch of rumours that anyone could make up to get attention. "All planes and helicopters" = Crap! Name all the planes and choppers!
I call bullshit! I can't find any proof whatsoever, to back up your claim. As a former grunt, I can tell you no way, no how, would they let a civilian pilot one of those planes, unless the real pilot dropped dead at the stick. Even then...
Little know fact. Initially, they wanted Treat Williams to play the roll of Jim Lovell in Apollo 13. Being an accomplished pilot, instructor and astronaut himself, NASA allowed him to fly the Apollo rocket for the blast off scene that they showed in the film. He again wanted to go for a joyride, but this time couldn't help himself, and flew it to the moon. When he returned, the producers were understandably upset; it was almost out of gas. So they gave the role to Tom Hanks. I love that fact.
Yeah, dream on. As long as those who organize wars are the farthest from it, and profit off from it, there will be wars. Power hungry old men sending off the youngsters to die for their cause. Not to mention weapon manufacturers that need to keep up their sales.
@crypt5129 yes, that time it was CzechoSlovakia, and yes that time was a communism. Now we are 2 separate countries, and communism felt down in November 1989 .
I was in the Army in ‘70 and ‘71. This scene brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. Felt the same way when my wife and I saw Hair live in Chicago many years later.
My uncle, who was in the army at the same time, finds the scene overblown but likes the song itself. He also always points out that this scene would never have happened, as Berger would have been discovered immediately.
@@Ares99999 do you and your uncle do armchair deciphering all movies for others? IT"S A STORY with imagery to make you think ! did you think? or just say that could never happen/ neither will your hopes & dreams if you can't imagine

One of the most devastating movie endings no one ever talks about. Claude just wants to spend one small afternoon away. And they foreshadow the ending with the first Manchester England song and Berger taking the bail instead of Claude. RIP Treat Williams. 😭😭😭
I am 77 and was drafted in 1965 when I was 19. So much was going on back then and if you were young like me, you wanted to grasp on to every bit of life and excitement you could. THIS was OUR GENERATION. We didn't know if we'd even be around to grow old.
Was stolen .. nothing is much like before isn't ... The hair was Stolen..the sun shine now is like all full of satan Worshipers. And criminals.. Soldiers barely articulates a note 🎵🎶
This was filmed at Camp Irwin, now Fort Irwin, CA about an hour north of Barstow. I worked at the restaurant that catered the crew buffet and we got to be extras and got paid but our hair was s long in those days we had to tuck it under the helmets . We were in those marching shots.
Thanks for that local information, Vince. That's an interesting detail. It certainly looks like a real army base. It's bleak enough even when drenched in southern Californian sunshine. Army bases are always bleak, no matter where they are in the world. This film clip from Milos Forman's film of _Hair_ from 1979 makes me quite nostalgic for the 1960s and the whole Vietnam War period.
We performed this song in our school choire in grade 6. Nobody had a clue about the background of the song not even the teacher, except me, because I was brought up with the knowledge of the hippie culture. It even moved me back then when I was only 11 years old.
My mother, Nada Simić, was the leading star of 'HAIR' in former Yugoslavia, current day Serbia, between 1969-73. We attended the 50th anniversary of the musical last year in May, here in Australia. Not only were we both brought to tears by the phenomenal performance, but I got to experience, for those 2 hours, what a glimpse of life was like half a century ago. I felt a spiritual presence take me over, as I was incredibly moved by the elements of my mother's life and how humanity, as a whole, lived and breathed in harmony throughout that period in history. Greetings from my mother and I in Australia - she still sings to this day and she's almost 70 years old!
Berger was truly a Man of Honor. He walked to his death without betraying his friend. The Bravest Soldier were... Bukowski was a real Man, Brave and Courageous, to go back, run to the plane, to rescue his friend...
...w 1982 roku w maju w Mrzezynie ogladalem w jednostce wojskowej jako szeregowy z 2 miesiecznym stazem bylem w kasynie oficerskim i ogladalem ten film , bylo nas 300 mlodych zolnierzy , byla cisza do ostatniej sceny.. nigdy tego nie zapomne.
Treat Williams. One of the most underrated actors ever. This was an Oscar worthy performance. I'd never felt dread, sorrow & beauty as a 10 year old in the theater, but in these 6 minutes I felt it all.
Not only Treat Williams is underrated - what about Milos Forman who re-created the musical and made it even better🥰 than the original? Just look - more than 32 mil viewings - People will never stop loving this masterpiece!
I remembered when i finished the high school, with all my class we have singing this together, that was awesome, i never seen them again. But the harmony was awesome.
+Super Sexy Neko Sounds like a cool school, you're lucky! It's so much fun running into the people from your youth when it's 20+ years later (28 years since high school here). It's even better when those same people have children now going into university! The coolest two so far have been the boy with an undiagnosed at the time mental challenge who is now a Special Olympics star athlete, and the boy with Cystic Fibrosis who wasn't supposed to live past age 12 and is now a dad and still living! Do what you can to catch up with them. It's so worth it.
I grew up listening to Hair. Too bad the play can’t been shown today. The play covered so much in a war that was not popular. Bless those who served and bless those who never came home.
I was on the National mall the day the crowd scene was filmed, actually went because Bonnie Raitt played after the crowd rush scene was filmed. I was standing under the flag in that final crowd scene.
@@xsonyx5461 Sure at 5:54, There were a number of flags, though that flag was the largest one out there. There was also much better pic in the Washington Post from that day.
This is one of the most intense film endings ever. I am still crying and goosebumping everytime I see this. There are very few movies out there that can induce this heavy feelings, what a great masterpiece
Such a seemingly cheerful and hopeful song put in this final scene gives the song more of a pleading and begging cry. "Please, let the sunshine in. Don't let this happen again." . And Berger so cocky and confident, always getting the last word in knowing that he was going to his death with that mournful look as he sings. Also the fact that he was buried under his real name showed how dehumanized the military had become. They knew he was the wrong man but did nothing to correct it. It didn't matter. He was just another body to them. But he wasn't, he was a person, a friend, and leader. Treat Williams conveyed all of that RIP, Mr. Williams.

What a powerful sequence. The rotors of the plane turning on gives me chills up into my hair, like something that's been set into motion and can't be reversed.
For me it's the propellers but also the plane taking off, banking to the right after takeoff and flying off into the distance carrying Berger and all those others to their far off fates. While Claude stands there anguishes able to do absolutely nothing about it.
We didn't learn anything, because we couldn't. No country in the world teaches its citizens to think independently and being able to do it is the only way to say NO, to the ones who may send you to war when their business requires.
@Leo Kreimer Maybe you didn't but they learned and implement improved business practice - no draft, just neglected poor kids "voluntary" army and ideologically controlled media. Infinite war is reality. Its working! Profit guaranteed for new/old plantation owners of the freedom land.
Director Milia Forman’s masterpiece and the great cast including Treat Williams, John Savage, and others I can’t recall off my head. RIP Treat Williams “Berger”. #Hair
I've heard this so many times, but never has it had such an effect on me and making me so emotional. In the wake of this new beginning war in Ukrain, I watch this and I wonder how many families will lose loved ones, how many innocent people will die, how many lives will be destroyed for absolutely no good cause. There is never a good cause for war, let them tell you whatever they want... Have we not learned anything?
From the first time I saw him in this movie and afterwards, I’ve always had a liked him. Often times I’d come check out RUclips clips from Hair and there he was. From now on it will be poignant whenever I hear the soundtrack to the movie knowing he’s no longer with us. You were a treat to us on earth, but I know you’re now entertaining the angels. RIP Mr Treat Williams 🙏

Your story brought tears to my eyes ❤
That's a nice idea for my own one (j'y ajouterai une "sentence" -this word in french has one more meaning-. So let the c-Hem_tra-ils out) and let the sun shine in again). I'm no g-i-joe, I'm a g.j., a yellow vest. Let's shine all over La Terre! Cos' time has come! Don't cry, get out of your sad home and shout! Before dying.
That brought me tears to read your comment ♥️
Great imagery with the darkness inside the transport planes, making it almost seem like it was swallowing the soldiers.
They did swallow them up and proceeded to spit them out. Some came out okay, some injured physically and mentally, many came home with PTSD (as my ex-husband did and still suffers nightmares), some came home in a box. Sad and unjust time.
Many thanks for your husbands service, and just as much to you for supporting him. Im ex navy but i was in during a fairly quiet period during the 90's

Here now after the passing of Treat Williams. So tragic. He seemed exactly as he did here- handsome, funny, outgoing. Future generations can watch him and smile, laugh and cry. RIP Treat Williams aka Berger. You are the best and will be missed
😢😢😢
The harmony in this song is absolutely phenomenal
This is so powerful. Burger is not supposed to be there but gets sent to war. Symbolizes the time... these kids sent to die in a war they had no choice in fighting. Brings me to tears!
beshem shahar
he is the guy who want a joke but he was put in real way.
I also think it represents the implacable bureaucracy that couldn't be bothered to listen to what people like Berger were saying. Over and over he attempts to be heard and each time he is shut down by men who think he can't possibly have anything to say that's worth listening to.
Berger*
I haven't seen the movie in a long time, but wasn't Berger drafted? If he was then he kinda IS supposed to be there. Other than that, you're totally right, the Vietnam War (and others) just killed men who were forced to fight.
This just hurts my heart so much every time I see it. So many boys I went to high school with were drafted and sent to Vietnam. Some never came home and those who did were so deeply scarred. It's impossible for people who lived through this time not to cry when they see this.

@Nuah Hazi no idea what you want to say ... to me a "nazi" is someone who invades other countries, tries to steal their land, commits war crimes and commits a genozide. Nazis believe to be superior and to have the right to dominate other people. Nazis have a totalitarian illiberal regime, oppress freedom of speech and protest, imprison journalists and murder politicians, have no separation of powers, fake elections and send people to war for the sake of their holy motherland whilst imprisoning those who protest against it. Commonly nazis like the tell story of being threatened by others - so all their crimes are justified.
All of this accounts for Russia.
Russia today turned into the nazigermany of the 21st century.
Sad, because I had some friends from Russia but it is and remains a fascist dictatorship with a retarded society.
When will mankind ever learn.... Hate is no answer, War destroys the future..

That "That's me ! That's me ! That's meeeeeee !!!" before Claude enter the darkness of the plane is like "please, i am someone. I am not just Cannon fodder, I am a human being". It's heartbreaking.
Someone didn’t watch the movie… that wasn’t Claude. It was Berger. He was singing Claude’s song because he was confused for Claude and sent to Vietnam.
That was BERGER. Claude is the guy running after the plane. Berger is sent to Nam because he is mistaken for Claude...
@@rukeyser I saw this movie ages ago, was Berger intentionally going to the War instead of Claude? Somehow this is what I remember but I cannot clearly remember the whole thing.
@@xeronylloyd21 Here ya go & glad to help -
Short form: NOT intentional. And like most of the film - NOT in the play.
……….
Compiled & edited from 2 sites:
For the record, the plot is so different in the film, that many of the songs were shortened, sped up, rearranged, or assigned to different characters to fit them in.
*In original stage show, Claude Bukowski is a New York hippie who is drafted, sent to Vietnam, and dies there.
That’s it.
*In the MOVIE, Claude comes to New York City from Oklahoma after he is drafted, and is befriended by a group of hippies before being sent to Army training camp.
They introduce him to their lifestyle & psychedelics before he leaves for boot camp.
THEN they drive to Nevada to visit him at training camp.
*In the play, Claude is from "dirty, mucky, polluted Flushing," in Queens, but wishes he was from "Manchester, England.” (cf:The “British Invasion”)
The song’s inclusion in the FILM is too preposterous to describe.
Other changes:
Hippie Sheila Franklin is falls in love with Berger, not Claude.
Jeannie was "knocked up" by a speed freak, not by either Woof or Hud.
** The most extreme change is Berger's death in the finale.
In the original play it is Claude who dies in Vietnam.
Here’s the sequence in detail:
Berger cuts his hair and dons the uniform, drives onto Army base, finds Claude and offers to replace him for the next headcount so that Claude can attend the group’s going-away picnic in the desert.
But just after Claude slips away to the picnic, the base is fully activated and begins immediate ship-outs for Vietnam.
Horrified, BERGER is herded onto the plane to be shipped out.
Claude returns and frantically pursues Berger's plane in vain.
@@rukeyser I'm struck by people being an asshole while trying to help. Help or ignore. Drop the asshole bit.
My husband has never seen Hair, so I’ve been playing clips to show how many popular bangers are from the musical. As soon as I started this one, I just burst into tears. May future generations live in a world where the young aren’t sent to die for the greedy.

This is just heartbreaking. Not only that Treat Williams is gone, but just seeing this vid, listening to this song, it puts you right back in time. The boy who had asked me to the prom came home with no legs, my husband's best friend and best man came back in a body bag. So much death, and for what? It was a truly horrible time. War really is hell.

I will never forget the Vietnam War veterans. I had a brother who enlisted before the inevitable draft. He saw plenty of action. I know several people (relatives, neighbors, & family friends) who were in this War, and many came back injured and messed up in the head. I've listened to the horrific stories and seen the photos. I remember when the Vietnam War was televised in the late 60's & early 70's as a child. It impacted me and still does to this day. God bless all who have served in the U.S. military. Bring the POW's & MIA's back home.

Shedding tears now watching this RIP Treat Williams another great one lost. So grateful to experience this talent.
Little known fact. In the scene where the military plane was taking off with the soldiers on board, the military allowed the production to use their plane and their base. They were on maneuvers during the production and couldn't spare anyone to fly the plane. So Treat Williams who is rated on all planes and helicopters and can also teach flying, was the pilot who did the flying in that clip. He was instructed by the base he could take off, then make the bank shot then return and land. He really wanted to take it on a joyride, but he complied. I love that fact.
Thank you for sharing that! :)
"FACT?;
Doubtful..Where's the Proof? References, quotes... Otherwise, just a bunch of rumours that anyone could make up to get attention.
"All planes and helicopters" = Crap!
Name all the planes and choppers!
@@donmenza147 Treat Williams and Milos Formsn.
I call bullshit! I can't find any proof whatsoever, to back up your claim. As a former grunt, I can tell you no way, no how, would they let a civilian pilot one of those planes, unless the real pilot dropped dead at the stick. Even then...
Little know fact. Initially, they wanted Treat Williams to play the roll of Jim Lovell in Apollo 13. Being an accomplished pilot, instructor and astronaut himself, NASA allowed him to fly the Apollo rocket for the blast off scene that they showed in the film. He again wanted to go for a joyride, but this time couldn't help himself, and flew it to the moon. When he returned, the producers were understandably upset; it was almost out of gas. So they gave the role to Tom Hanks. I love that fact.
This film is still relevant today. War should always be the last resort and not a political game.
Yeah, dream on. As long as those who organize wars are the farthest from it, and profit off from it, there will be wars.

Thanks for that local information, Vince. That's an interesting detail. It certainly looks like a real army base. It's bleak enough even when drenched in southern Californian sunshine. Army bases are always bleak, no matter where they are in the world. This film clip from Milos Forman's film of _Hair_ from 1979 makes me quite nostalgic for the 1960s and the whole Vietnam War period.
How cool!!!! When I was a kid in the 60ies I knew the whole musical by heart!
Powerful scene. Treat Williams was a great talent. His passing is sad and unexpected, just like sequence. Rip good sir
We performed this song in our school choire in grade 6. Nobody had a clue about the background of the song not even the teacher, except me, because I was brought up with the knowledge of the hippie culture. It even moved me back then when I was only 11 years old.
My mother, Nada Simić, was the leading star of 'HAIR' in former Yugoslavia, current day Serbia, between 1969-73.
We attended the 50th anniversary of the musical last year in May, here in Australia. Not only were we both brought to tears by the phenomenal performance, but I got to experience, for those 2 hours, what a glimpse of life was like half a century ago. I felt a spiritual presence take me over, as I was incredibly moved by the elements of my mother's life and how humanity, as a whole, lived and breathed in harmony throughout that period in history.
Greetings from my mother and I in Australia - she still sings to this day and she's almost 70 years old!
May the spirits bless you brorther

Bukowski was a real Man, Brave and Courageous, to go back, run to the plane, to rescue his friend...
Entering the barracks certainly showed him just how badly he'd screwed up.

Treat Williams. One of the most underrated actors ever. This was an Oscar worthy performance. I'd never felt dread, sorrow & beauty as a 10 year old in the theater, but in these 6 minutes I felt it all.

The coolest two so far have been the boy with an undiagnosed at the time mental challenge who is now a Special Olympics star athlete, and the boy with Cystic Fibrosis who wasn't supposed to live past age 12 and is now a dad and still living!

Shit. Hair, of course. I have never seen the whole movie.
I was on the National mall the day the crowd scene was filmed, actually went because Bonnie Raitt played after the crowd rush scene was filmed. I was standing under the flag in that final crowd scene.

I am 65 years old and for me it is the song of hope that mankind once will stop these, all useless wars.
Emotional song.
As they march into the plane, it's like a void, a death march. Oh the futility of war.
+Iñigo Such a powerful image...
Reminded me of Pink Floyd's The Wall.
"Oh the futility of war"
That's right, let the dictators win.
I get chills every time he sings as he enters the pitch black of the transport aircraft 😮
Such a seemingly cheerful and hopeful song put in this final scene gives the song more of a pleading and begging cry. "Please, let the sunshine in. Don't let this happen again." .
And Berger so cocky and confident, always getting the last word in knowing that he was going to his death with that mournful look as he sings.
Also the fact that he was buried under his real name showed how dehumanized the military had become. They knew he was the wrong man but did nothing to correct it. It didn't matter. He was just another body to them. But he wasn't, he was a person, a friend, and leader.
Treat Williams conveyed all of that
RIP, Mr. Williams.
2020 and at 64 years old I still cry here. Not just tears but sobs that come out from the deepest part of me. We haven't learn anything at all.
Not a thing. We have not learned one thing.
Lyrics:
We starve, look at one another, short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasies
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Somewhere, inside something there is a rush of
Greatness, who knows what stands in front of
Our lives, I fashion my future on films in space
Silence tells me secretly
Everything
Everything
Manchester, England, England
Manchester, England, England
Across the Atlantic Sea
And I'm a genius, genius
I believe in God
And I believe that God believes in Claude
That's me, that's me, that's me....
We starve, look at one another, short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Singing our space songs on a spider web sitar
Life is around you and in you
Answer for Timothy Leary, dearie
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in
(Oh, why don't you let the sunshine Just let the sunshine in, the sunshine in)
Oh...Let the sunshine,
You oughta let the sunshine in
the sunshine in,
Why dont you let
The sunshine in
(Why dont you let the sunshine, Just let the sunshine in)
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in
You oughta let
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, The sunshine in
The lyrics are incredible
This ending takes on new meaning with Treat's passing.
I can't watch this without crying.I was a little girl when i watched this movie for the first time,and always hev the same felling...
What a powerful sequence. The rotors of the plane turning on gives me chills up into my hair, like something that's been set into motion and can't be reversed.
Fred Herrman love that rotor turning
Fred Herrman , sooo to me, also, Fred! BERNIE HERRMANN/GERMANY
Those plane rotors get me every time
Convergence is a very painful thing..
For me it's the propellers but also the plane taking off, banking to the right after takeoff and flying off into the distance carrying Berger and all those others to their far off fates. While Claude stands there anguishes able to do absolutely nothing about it.
I am 68.. I lived those times ... We didnt learn anything.
We didn't learn anything, because we couldn't. No country in the world teaches its citizens to think independently and being able to do it is the only way to say NO, to the ones who may send you to war when their business requires.
Leo: I disagree. We learned a lotd about what kinds of things don't work.
@Leo Kreimer
Maybe you didn't but they learned and implement improved business practice - no draft, just neglected poor kids "voluntary" army and ideologically controlled media.
Infinite war is reality. Its working! Profit guaranteed for new/old plantation owners of the freedom land.
@@MarkoKraguljac - Afghanistan. 18 years and counting - 4 1/2 times longer than our involvement in WWII
@@Ducksoup67 You are confirming what I am saying. Throughout its existence, US was at war for ~226 out of ~243 years (~93%).
Director Milia Forman’s masterpiece and the great cast including Treat Williams, John Savage, and others I can’t recall off my head. RIP Treat Williams “Berger”. #Hair
R.i.p. Treat Williams! ❤ He was amazing as Berger.
I was in the cast of the stage version in Manchester, England in the eighties and this song still affects me
I've heard this so many times, but never has it had such an effect on me and making me so emotional. In the wake of this new beginning war in Ukrain, I watch this and I wonder how many families will lose loved ones, how many innocent people will die, how many lives will be destroyed for absolutely no good cause. There is never a good cause for war, let them tell you whatever they want... Have we not learned anything?
No, we didnt learn a shit.
I agree completely, there's no good reason for war
same feeling...i guess greed over love and compassion prevail in this civilisation...
Същото си мисля...
Liberals used to be anti-war and anti-establishment. Now they’re useful idiots. What happened?
From the first time I saw him in this movie and afterwards, I’ve always had a liked him.
Often times I’d come check out RUclips clips from Hair and there he was.
From now on it will be poignant whenever I hear the soundtrack to the movie knowing he’s no longer with us.
You were a treat to us on earth, but I know you’re now entertaining the angels.
RIP Mr Treat Williams 🙏
