Hair

Caps from Milos Forman's movie version of Hair, because it's frustrating to apparently be the only person to see the slashy subtext between Berger and Claude...

Okay....

Who can not see the slash? I mean, cmon, they were kissing and one of them was naked in front of the other!

[solitary-summer.livejournal.com]

Well, if you take away the context and plot, the pictures are even more suggestive. ;)

I'm not sure if it's a (very brief, if that) kiss, although it's certainly shot suggestively; a moment before Berger was checking Claude's post-LSD-trip pupils. The last sequence of caps is part of Berger's (ultimately fatal) plan to smuggle Claude out of the base with a stolen uniform to see Sheila, the sort-of girl-friend... it's complicated, but not quite what it looks like. Really. *g* Although it is still plenty slashy even in canon.

DUDE, I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN. Especially during the "Manchester England" scene, when Berger is like..cradling Claude. It's awesome.
I totally thought I was the only one. Huzzah for musicals!

The choreography there is so erotic, I keep thinking the subtext must be intentional... Sure, there's Sheila, the obligatory heterosexual love-interest, but IMO there's something of a complex triangle going on there between Berger, Claude and Sheila...

::shakes head:: I've been toying with the idea of writing something for ship_manifesto, but laziness wins out all the time...

i finally got to see a production of the musical last year and totally thought that.

Interesting... I can only speak for the movie, I haven't seen it on stage in ages and sadly barely remember anything from the production.

I know you're not the only one! "I Love The 70's vol. 2" made a joke about it once. ^_^

Mmmm, class slash. (Yes, slash: bridging the gap between the upper and lower classes since time immemorial. =Þ)

[solitary-summer.livejournal.com]

As much as I love Maurice, it's not really a class thing here. Claude is a farm boy from Oklahoma, dressed at his best because he's going to join the army, and Berger is actually from a middle class family.

[woolandwater]

Ahh, see, that's what I get for mouthing off about a movie I haven't seen. -_-

[solitary-summer.livejournal.com]

Not a problem - the pictures *were* misleading... :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/__oddly/]

Oh fun.

Yeah, I definitely need to see that now.

[solitary-summer.livejournal.com]

I must warn you though, there's also the obligatory heterosexual love interest, Sheila... ;)

[http://users.livejournal.com/__oddly/]

Damn.

Oh well, that's alright. Nothing a good dose of denial can't fix ;)

[nephir.livejournal.com]

Oh hells yes... and no -- you are not the only one.

[solitary-summer.livejournal.com]

I'd really love to read some fanfic, but sadly there is none whatsoever...

[snikelfritzz.livejournal.com]

I totally less than three Hair! I directed a production of it once the hetero bit was played down.... a lot... lol ;D

[mrbnatural.livejournal.com]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! @O@ These are FANTASTIC! Guhhhhh! XOX

[xrated13.livejournal.com]

Ahhh. So awesome! :)

[weasleynut.livejournal.com]

My first thought upon seeing this was, "When did Conan O'Brien do a movie?" :P But yeah, I should've really seen this film by now.

Thanks for the caps :)

[solitary-summer.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

John Savage was so hot back then. Wonder if he and Treat tried kissing again when he guest starred on Everwood.

[solitary-summer.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. I even watched a couple of episodes of Everwood, but never even made the connection... *feels stupid*
