Title: Undergrounded or underrated
Product review: Taking off is one of those movies which, for unknown and obscure reasons, disappeared from the broadcast scene despite their high potential to become "Cult movie". The story is nothing uncommon, but certainly well represents the athmosphere of the time and portraits a typical cultural/social issue of the '70s. The soundtrack is also enjoyable and songs like Where even horses have wings deserved better backup than that granted by the media when the movie was first distributed. To those who loved and still consider films like Easy Rider, Zabriskie Point and Jesus Christ Superstar worth having and watching as testimony of an era, I suggest the viewing of this movie too: it serves the purpose to recall memories of an era and reminds us (45+) that once we too had communication difficulties with the "grown-ups".
