TAKING WOODSTOCK

Boring.  We have the most monumental concert ever in the history of rock n' roll as a backdrop yet you'd never know it by watching this film.  Instead, we focus on this bland kid who comes to term with his sexuality.  Big whoop!  There's no drama, there's no excitement, there's no laughter, there's no....moments.  This is a movie!  You need big moments.

What has happened to Ang Lee?  He's lost his touch.  He used to be a master at conveying complex emotions throughout his scenes.  Now, his scenes are listless, wandering aimlessly without any purpose.  No longer do they build.  No longer do they move. 

Script should've been burnt instead of filmed.
