WOULD NOT HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE (End spoilers)

It's "hippie", not "hippy".

And yes, you are wrong. Of course what happened would not happen in real life; this was a movie, and movies, by definition, are not depictions of real life, in most cases (yes, I know some are, so don't jump on me for that But most aren't. I seriously doubt if any of "The Hobbit" movies were historically accurate). This was an exploitation movie, using the "free love" theme as its basis.

The basement scene at the beginning should have been enough to let you know to just give in to suspension of disbelief and go with the movie, and not to expect anything realistic.

As an aside, I found it interesting that the live music that we heard in the basement scene contained a lot of horns, but there were no horn players in the scene. That must have been due to those funny cigarettes they were smoking...

This was the best movie ever! Watched it with the entire family on Christmas Eve. Was it a realistic depiction of life in 1969? Of course not. It was fun and entertaining.
