Ang Lee’s Taking Woodstock - Times Online:
"Lee put his extras and cast through a crash course in “hippy”. “We took them on a two-day hippy ‘camp’, where they would learn all about the era,” he explains. “We gave them a hippy handbook that had a glossary of hippy lingo like ‘roach clip’, ‘can you dig it?’, ‘crash pad’ and ‘far out’. I gave them books to read, loads of documentaries to watch and drilled them in the politics and attitudes of the time.”
Lee has re-created the Woodstock experience with such unerring exactitude it is as if you were there — not as a roadie next to the stage or as a VIP backstage, but as a punter wandering the outskirts, unable to penetrate the throng at the front."
