Easy Rider

The sands of time have vaporized any resonance this film should have had on me; it's edge is gone yet its resounding importance for what it did for independent filmmaking still holds true. Not by any means terrible but sabotaged by its reputation.

(Blu-ray rewatch)

what the hell was that?

Classic!

Great! People dont exept differences, and these movie is one of the best

very odd pace and kind of boring characters wrapped around an origonally told odd ball of a story. Basically two hippies go on a road trip through red neck USA and do a bunch of drugs along the way. The LSD trip to me was just weird and missed the mark but was still kinda cool and the ending was just straight out bizzare. It was a very cool look at the 60s/70s and a bit of an introspective for that era, thats all i got from it though.

Much weirder and stronger than I imagined it would be.

Love the Ford-esque landscapes, the bizarre transitions, the acid trip sequence, the tragic ending...really love this movie.

A bit outdated now but so cult.

One of my personal favorites. Killer soundtrack and a good message.

worst ending ever

I guess I'm not American enough to understand this. The whole thing seemed so pointless and devoid of anything interesting

A fun watch, sloppy filmmaking in places but overall a charming film, what the hell is with the ending though?

You have to see it, but i think the story is a bit slow.

Time has not been kind. Nicholson's keystone performance, however, still makes it worth watching.

what a boring ass movie. peter fonda is a bad actor

Disappointing acting in the nonchalant Fonda, although Hopper and Nicholson's paranoia make up for it. The social commentary lingers and exits like that of a mescaline trip: southern prejudice...hippie communes..recreational drug use. Excellent camera-work and overall editing accentuating the trance-like mental binge seen in the captivation of the late psychedelic era en route to the 'wastelands' of the 1970s. Poor ending, however, leaving the viewer thinking, "Hopper and Fonda were fucked up."

Classic American Story, but well done, better then the new American cinema by far.

a requiem for the love-generation

It's a hell of a story and a time piece.
