About This Movie

Changing (1971) by Hubert Smith is this intriguing documentary that almost feels like a time capsule. It dives into the life of a guy who's really embraced the whole hippie ethos. The juxtaposition of his vibrant home life against the isolation he faces at work is just fascinating. The pacing is almost reflective, inviting you to soak in the atmosphere of the era. You kind of feel the weight of his choices, and the film's rawness, with its practical effects—like real-life interactions and candid moments—adds to its authenticity. It's a unique exploration of personal transformation, and honestly, it’s the subtle nuances in his performance that really draw you in. It’s not your typical doc, for sure.
