4.0 out of 5 stars Former Hippie remembers, April 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Strawberry Statement [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It is a shame that this video is as expensive as it is, because I want to own it. I saw this movie in 1970 over in Hawaii, and again with friends in San Francisco. The serious nature of the Vietnam war protests were touched upon in this movie. The performances were pretty well acted and the awkwardness of Bruce Davison as a young man in love, and finding the REAL WORLD was a treat to watch. We were all awkward during that time of our lives. For young people, see this movie and try to understand what people were trying to do back then.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not great, but entertaining, September 24, 1999

rampageous_cuss (Under Billy Penn's Hat) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)

This review is from: Strawberry Statement [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I enjoyed it, but it doesn't make much sense unless you've read the book (OK, even then...)

The film is loosely based on James Kunin's book of the same name. An undergraduate rower at Columbia University in 1968 feels vaguely sympathetic towards student protesters but remains on the sidelines. He meets a radical girl, falls in love and gets involved. He winds up in a campus sit-in and gets beaten up when the cops clear the building.

BOOK WEEK once described Kunen as "...a soft-core radical - a kind of New-Left Charlie Brown..." which kind of fits; he was a Gene McCarthy supporter. The movie isn't especially preachy but the final scene doesn't QUITE work as a summing up (not anymore, anyway!)

4.0 out of 5 stars memorable climax, great music, September 10, 2002

"simnia" (snowy bayou country, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Strawberry Statement [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw this movie in late summer 1970, and saw the video in the '80s, and was fairly impressed both times. The climax of a brutal police clash with unarmed students at a university was realistic and memorable. The weird pieces of humor, like a student jumping in a mud puddle to be radical, and a spontaneous sexual encounter, were entertaining but much less realistic. The real attraction of this film is the soundtrack, which I see is not available on CD. It had great songs by CSNY, Neil Young, Thunderclap Newman, Buffy Sainte-Marie, plus classical fragments that my high school English teacher loved in 1971.
