I have some questions on 2 movies a watched recently

I have some questions on 2 movies a watched recently....I just watched "woodstock directors cut" today, and "Forrest Gump" on Friday I was just wondering a few things about them, well I'll start with Forrest Gump...in the part where he was at the protest, who was that supposed to be, on the stage when he was like "there was a guy there warring a shirt made of flags, and he likes to say fuck a lot" or some thing like that, I can't remember exactly what he said, but it was something like that?

and I have 3 questions on woodstock:
1. What is up with people warring swastikas, on the second song by Jefferson Airplane, the guy playing the guitar and singing had a necklace with one, and at the end when they show every one cleaning up they show a guy walking away, and on the back of his jacket he had a peace sign with one in the middle of it?

2. Why is there no grateful dead on it except for 2 times the showed Jerry Garcia for only a few seconds?

3. Who is that guy that they show through out it...I'll just give 2 times they showed him, the guy who was talking to the people and telling them that they are doing the best they can to get food ready or something he always had like a cowboy hat on, and they showed him right in the
benning he had a white jumpsuite on and he was talking about woodstock and stuff...he looks familiar, but I can't think who it is?

 

Forrest Gump-

in the part where he was at the protest that was supposed to be Abbie Hoffman!​

Woodstock-

The Swastika thing:​

The right-handed swastika was a positive expression of life by the ancient Mesopotamians, the early Christians and Byzantines, the Mayans, as well as the Hopi and other Native American Indian tribes.​

The swastika is also an ancient Vedic symbol for the Sun, and of the Vedic diety Lord Ganesha, the elephant headed God, who is the first born son in the Universe.​

The left-handed swastika is a symbol of Kali, the Vedic Goddess who symbolizes destruction. ​

In Sanskrit, this left-handed swastika is named by a different word, 'sauvastika,' which is the antithesis of 'svastika.'
Thus, the left-handed swastika means 'not conducive to well being.' This is the swastika which was used in World War II as a symbol for Adolf Hitler's Nazi movement.

 

two great movies, indeed =)

 

That was a very very informative post. Kudos.

As to the Dead at woodstock; from what I heard this was the worse live show they ever did. If the band or movie people, or probably both did not want to show it don't know. Nameste........Ps: great info on the swastka. Saw several timesin India, with no understanding. Have also noticed some of the Indian languages have a simularity to Germanic words. Any info there. Nameste

 

ohhh the dead thing, my mom enlightend me on this the other day, they were playing in a puddle of water the whole time they were on stage, they kept getting shocked, may have been why the didnt sound so great!!

I always heard that they were too fucked up. (of course that never stopped them before.) Maybe at was that brown acid.
