Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Seamus2829 For anybody who came of age during the late 1960's/early 1970's,this film will probably be a feather in your cap. This film,shot mostly in a commune in Hawaii that seemed to be centered in various realms of spirituality was directed (?)by Chuck Wein, a former hanger on with Andy Warhol & the Factory clique (a few of which appear in this film). The film seems to be pure improvisation, as there is no screen writer mentioned in the credits,and the cast made up of various members of the commune. Don't try & make any kind of sense out of it (at least in the traditional way,anyway). The film seems to be very organic in it's presentation (shot in 16mm,which vies for it's kitchen sink,do it yourself look). The obvious highpoint of the film is the participation of Jimi Hendrix,who in addition to being filmed at a concert overlooking a volcano,also makes a non musical appearance,conversing with some of the various denizens of the commune. I suppose experiencing this film loaded to the nines on whatever psychedelic drugs one can get their hands on is a "must" for this film (but so were other films of this nature produced between 1967 to 1975). All I can say is, fish out those love beads that have been hiding in that back drawer for the last 30 plus years,turn on that black light,roll another number & drop this in your DVD/VHS player & get 'yer groove on.

selfdeified Well....Do you love Jimmy, 60'S, and hippies? Then yes! Rent me!I joined a nudist vegetarian commune after watching this. I was born in the 70's and got robbed. I could not go see Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin...This gave me a spiritual taste of what the "movement" was really about. I also got to see the real Rainbow Bridge in Hawaii. I feel films like this are necessary to show the people younger than us what is was about also. I believe the Utopian like atmosphere that they were trying to create was ideal, however clouded by the overuse of the drugs. I often think to myself, besides Jimmy, are any of those people alive? They were into some heavy partying.

lvcalanca Rainbow Bridge is a favorite of mine because it features Jimi Hendrix. His music performance is great and he looks like he is having fun with it. Also, you are treated to some candid conversation between Jimi and other people which let's you see him as just a regular guy who is maybe just a little different than other people.

mshaywoo Rainbow Bridge was filmed in 1970- just two months before Jimi's death. *SPOILER!*The concert footage appears at the very end of the film and is only about 20 minutes long. The music is awesome and it is cool to see Jimi performing outdoors, in the daytime, in scenic Hawaii. Before the show, Jimi and some pals engage in a free-form stoned rap about some way out topics.The rest of the film includes some soap opera stuff about the trials and tribulations of some hippies on vacation in Hawaii.This film is essential for the Hendrix fan but don't expect a full length concert performance.
