What We Think

“Hair” is a time capsule of anti-establishment wokeness, gleefully rebelling against traditional values and basking in progressive messaging. It sacrifices realism for ideology and offers minimal respect for alternative viewpoints. If you’re looking for old-fashioned or non-woke entertainment, this one’s closer to a protest march than a family movie night.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The narrative of "Hair" embraces countercultural identity and places significant emphasis on characters' rebellion, sexual liberation, and anti-war ideals over traditional roles. While the story is character-driven, much of their personality revolves around ideological statements, with realism sometimes sacrificed for message-driven moments.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

"Hair" unabashedly challenges traditional views on religion, family, and morality, often mocking or subverting established norms in favor of 1960s countercultural values. Masculinity is regularly lampooned, and the film celebrates gender nonconformity and anti-establishment attitudes, leaving little respect for old-school values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, the film largely heroes the counterculture, while traditional perspectives, military service, conservative families, are mostly treated as rigid or unenlightened. There's little effort to provide sincere representation of more conventional views, suggesting a fairly one-sided ideological landscape.
