Emile Hirsch should've played the lead role in Taking Woodstock

Its odd, looking back I don't feel like anything very memorable came of yesterday, but I sure was without free time for some reason. Lame. Anywho, I saw Taking Woodstock last night. I've been pretty excited to see this because this year is the 40th anniversary of Woodstock in '69 and even though its kind of lame, I have an unexplainably high appreciation for this music. I firmly believe that there hasn't been musical talent to that degree since the 70's. Its beautiful. Its heartfelt. It wasn't money or fame-driven. It was art in its truest form. Just raw talent. And today, we're left with Green Day haha. The Brett Favre of the music industry. Give it up guys!
Anyway, Ang Lee kind of let me down. Emile Hirsch gave the only performance worth mentioning in the entire film and he was most definiely not a main character like presented in the trailers and advertisements. Can you believe that in a film about Woodstock does not include one single musical performance? Its so disappointing. Martin Luther McCoy is so great at playing Jimi, we couldn't have seen him play a song or two? Where's Janis? They mention her on the line up but don't seem to think it's necessary to include her in the movie? Joe Cocker, Jefferson Airplane, CCR, The Who, Grateful Dead, Carlos Santana, Joan Baez, ughh there were so many opportunities to show off what Woodstock was and they failed. The entire movie is just an exaggerated portrayal of what Woodstock was. Yes, there was a VERY large amount of dirty "dazed and confused" hippies running around, they were high, not idiots. They had enough sense to organize a show of that magnitude.
Basically they turned a movie about 3 days of peace and music into a movie about the money behind the 3 days of peace and music...and they kind of threw in a few moments where we got to know the main character a little...played oh-so-awkwardly by Demitri Martin. Who the hell is Demitri Martin?
Anyway, this movie had amazing potential. Way to screw it up Ang Lee.
C-
Best song: I should have a huge list here. But since this movie is gay as hell...
Why are The Doors even on this soundtrack? They declined their invitation to play the show.
Try (Just a Little Bit Harder) - Janis Joplin

Suggestions welcome.
345 to go.
