Response to Chelsea Girls

I don't see how Chelsea Girls got the mainstream push it received. I found it to be crazier and harder to understand than some of the other stuff I'd seen in the class. I think it may have had something to do with the rising counterculture movement more so than the specific film. A right time/right place kinda deal. However, I enjoyed the film somewhat, and I think I'd like it more if the version I was presented had weaved in both sound tracks. People on drugs are hilarious, frightening, and innocent therefore creating some damn good entertainment. I do like the dual images, which require active participation and will make for a completely different second viewing.
