From: Reviews and Criticism of Vietnam War Theatrical and Television Dramas ( Compiled by John K From: Reviews and Criticism of Vietnam War Theatrical and Television Dramas (http://www.lasalle.edu/library/vietnam/FilmIndex/home.htm) compiled by John K. McAskill, La Salle University ([email protected]) T2420 TAKING WOODSTOCK (USA, 2009) Credits: director, Ang Lee ; writer, James Schamus ; book, Elliot Tiber, Tom Monte. Cast: Demetri Martin, Dan Fogler, Henry Goodman, Jonathan Groff, Eugene Levy, Emile Hirsch. Summary: Comedy/melodrama set in and around Bethel, N.Y. in 1969. Based on the real-life Elliot Tiber, the character of Elliott Teichberg (Martin) has returned to the Catskills from his career as a painter/designer in New York City to help his immigrant parents with their failing El Monaco motel. He has no idea what he is doing when he uses his influence to win approval for a local music and arts festival. The film attempts to provide a kaleidoscopic portrait of the generational movement on display at Woodstock while following Elliot’s personal issues (general uptightness, closeted homosexuality, and a feeling of responsibility for his parents). The parade of history (Moon landing, Vietnam and Middle East tensions) is glimpsed only in the background on television, but there is an embittered Vietnam veteran character named Billy (Hirsch) who is trying to figure out how to reconcile with all this peace and love stuff.

Kesey is a young, talented novelist who has just seen his first book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nestpublished, and who is consequently on the receiving end of a great deal of fame and fortune. While living in Palo Alto and attending Stanford's creative writing program, Kesey signs up to participate in a drug study sponsored by the CIA. The drug they give him is a new experimental drug called LSD. Under the influence of LSD, Kesey begins to attract a band of followers. They are drawn to the transcendent states they can achieve while on the drug, but they are also drawn to Kesey, who is a charismatic leader. They call themselves the "Merry Pranksters" and begin to participate in wild experiments at Kesey's house in the woods of La Honda, California. These experiments, with lights and noise, are all engineered to create a wild psychedelic experience while on LSD. They paint everything in neon Day-Glo colors, and though the residents and authorities of La Honda are worried, there is little they can do, since LSD is not an illegal substance. The Pranksters first venture into the wider world by taking a trip east, to New York, for the publication of Kesey's newest novel.

Mammina stava urlando a squarciagola il mio nome, manco fosse intrappolata in un edificio in fiamme. Strillava così forte che la sua voce sovrastava il frastuono del tagliaerba che spingevo svogliatamente su e giù per il prato. Le urla arrivavano dalla reception del nostro motel a White Lake, un paesino minuscolo che si affaccia sul lago tra le montagne di Catskill. Mi girai per cercare l'incendio o quantomeno una traccia di fumo. Niente, naturalmente. Quindi tutta questa tragedia doveva essere al massimo un rubinetto che perdeva. «Eliyahu!» Ora aveva gridato il mio nome di nascita ebraico per farmi capire che la situazione era davvero seria. «La tua povera mammina ha bisogno di te.» La sua voce mi perforava come la lama di un coltello. Spensi il vecchio tagliaerba arrugginito e m'incamminai verso la reception. Mia madre era in piedi, dietro la cassa, e fronteggiava un uomo basso con una camicia rossa, i bermuda giallo senape, i calzini al ginocchio e un cappellino calato sulla testa calva.
