It's interesting you took away such a positive message. I find this to be a very tragic film, in its own way. To me, it's about The Monkees discovering that it's impossible to stop being The Monkees. They live in a world of pure unreality. It's not merely that life is an illusion, but *they* are illusion and therefore inseparable from it. Enlightenment/escape is impossible for the unreal. Which is not to shut down your interpretation, of course. One of the fun things about Head is that I doubt any two people ever see it the same way. From what I understand, even the Monkees themselves disagreed over its actual meaning (if any).

The show was groundbreaking for it's time Seeing long haired weirdos on tv, with a lot of in depth humor Head is a deep film and if it was made by another band probably would have been accepted more, but it was not for their core fans, and the people that would have appreciated it didn't go see it because of who the band were. They couldn't escape their image, though they tried.

It's really unfortunate how everything went down - 33⅓ Revolutions per Monkee was also a tantalising view of what we could have had more of

I liked the Monkees musical group and TV show, but the movie was a big disappointment.

But that makes sense when you think how they were trying to do something *so* different
