The 1979 musical Hair was loosely based on the 1968 Broadway hit. In the eleven years between the stage production and the film, the concept of hippies as counterculture had faded, the Vietnam War had ended, and we already knew all the songs. Those anachronisms are unnoticeable fifty years later, and the movie is a glimpse into the way things were way back when. The music is still great, and the ending is still heartbreaking. There is a little nudity, which is why it got a PG rating. Ratings were serious back then.
