Movies we remember have touched us. I saw "The Strawberry Statement" 30 years ago and I still remember it and want to talk about it, so it must have made a powerful impression on me, right? Yes, indeed, it did. This movie is an artistic documentary about the Flower-Power Age of youth, innocence, love and unselfish interest in the improvement of societal conditions: in humanity, justice and equality. It's about fighting with flowers in hands against those holding batons. It's about kindness and meaning well, yet raising ferocious opposition in those whose only ambitions are about power over others. I remember long hair flying in the air and sunshine everywhere. I remember the taste of strawberry which reminds me of the red colour of love... and blood.
I wish I could see this movie again in this age of DVD...
