Be-In

About This Movie

So, 'Be-In' is this fascinating snapshot of the San Francisco Human Be-In, shot by Jerry Abrams in '67. It's not just a documentary; it feels like you're actually there among the ten thousand attendees. The atmosphere? Pure euphoria, man. The film flows with a laid-back pacing that really allows you to soak in the vibe—folks dancing, sharing ideas, and just losing themselves in the moment. You’ve got big names like Ginsberg and Leary popping up too, which adds a layer of depth. The soundscape is a raw bluesy rock that perfectly captures the spirit of the time. It’s all about peace and love, but there’s an undercurrent of rebellion that makes it distinctive. Definitely a time capsule of a pivotal cultural moment.
