5.0 out of 5 stars From the sentimental perspective of an authentic Hippie/surfer/extra in the film.., November 18, 2010

This review is from: Thumb Tripping [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I lived there in Carmel during those culturally transitional years.

I remember the shooting days in Carmel 2 years before the release.. a fanastically unique era.

We were the authentic characters the movie was trying to "dramatically" reproduce.

And in real life, it was effectively dramatic.. and beyond that, romantic. (w/o the danger element prevailing)

Peacocks in the trees.. around the treehouse deep in the woods of Big Sur..

Above the beauty of the secret whitewater beaches surrounding the cliff-hanging Nepenthe.

[...]

I won't write a book all that here, but cruising through IMDB I got distracted and had to say something for the true movieminutia geeks.

I'm one of 'em. Same as then.

That's what Big Sur and Carmel was for us.. a significantly distracting, dramatically existential ride through the cosmic reality of sensual fantasy.. experiencing the pure joy of the mysterious moment.

It's been a Long Strange Trip.

I must admit to you here.. I haven't even seen this reconstructed fantasy film.

It appears few did. Look at the producers, though..

Excuse me a moment, while I just pop this bottle Petite Syrah..
.. from my current hideout in the hidden northern woods of Sonoma County.

Someday Soon..

I'm gonna Thumbtrip my way back to the Magical Mystery of that Lost Village on the California Coast.. with a Rabbit in my backpack.. long blond hair.. bare feet.. Levi's..

I'll see you there... somewhere along Ocean Ave.

..Or The Village Corner.
