i will admit and i have the opportunity in the past to watch this film and and after about 5 10 minute into it and i felt like many do . i be expect a monkey movie that be similar to the television show and but instead i be give . well and i do not know what i be give to be honest . however and after finally watch this film and i realize that not only have i have a closed mind to the brilliance it depict and i also find myself watch it over and over again . it the one movie that never cease to interest me and simply because it keep me alert and a i try to attempt to decipher it meaning . and just when i think i have figure out something in the film and it answer be destroy once i watch the film again . brilliance indeed . it seem that most people who dislike this film be want to watch a film with primarily a clear plot . they want everything explain and all question answer in the finale . well sorry and if that what youre want and this be not the movie for you . but if you like movie like the matrix ( and good yet and their sequel ) i think you will appreciate the thought provoking and mindblowing experience this film will give you . think of the film be like a dream . in our dream and thing make no sense and thing we expect to happen do not and people place and thing do not speak and act or function in the same way they do in reality . to complain about head be like complain about a dream you have have that you felt you could not understand . the mind be a complex system and and be that a film title head be just a complex and be it that difficult to relate the two . the music ( and musical number ) really stand out and especially peter tork two composition and which remain the best track in the film and can you dig it . and long title represent do i have to do this all over again . this film prove that the monkees be much more than just four zanny guy in a pre fab group ( a their critic call them ) on a television show and but that they be actually much more intelligent and talented than the world would give them credit for . there so many message that can be derive from the film and both in regard to the monkees and to the entertainment industry in general and that it stand a a masterpiece of film making that be far ahead of it time . i feel and have this film be release a an independent piece at this point and time and it would actually garner the respect and admiration it deserve . and one finale note representone could compare this to the beatles magical mystery tour film and since the beatles film appear to be just a strange and bizarre . however and in my opinion and head stand far above anything the beatles put on celluloid .
