      Easy Rider, Hard Riding

      The movie version of On the Road.
        Two burly men shouting for freedom. In those days, they dressed in unconventional ways, were ostracized by orthodox people everywhere, refused to let them live in hotels, restaurants were not served for them, and they were beaten in the suburbs.. There are also...

      The behind-the-scenes story about this movie

      In an interview with "Rolling Stone" magazine, lead actor Peter Fonda explained the meaning of the name Easy Rider:

      "The word easy rider is specifically used in the southern United States to refer to men who live by their wives as chickens. No, no. The pimps are those who live with...

      "I mean it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace." Most people's beliefs are always on the surface. Especially life is getting more comfortable. There is nothing to admire when you become God yourself, and make the world around you according to your own world - the love of God must include the love of human beings because they all mean good things to human beings. In the past, serfs were oppressed, but now that we can afford to eat, we still have no freedom to rely on chicken soup to protect our souls. The world will never get better, it can only be like this. Pain can never be avoided, but God is disappearing. But I don't see any relation between God and freedom. It's just a matter of the minority being oppressed by the majority. The finely chopped mirror is only seen in the initial D, and it gives me basically the same feeling. Much like Pasolini. Ha, the director's acting silly/in retrospect I feel hopeless from those repetitive road shots. impossible to escape

    Easy Rider quotes

    • George Hanson: Well, um, that's got a real nice, eh, taste to it. Though, I don't suppose it'll do me much good, though, I mean, I'm so used to the booze and everything.

      Captain America: You've got to hold it in your lungs longer, George.

    • George Hanson: That was a - UFO beamin' back at ya. Me and Eric Heisman was down in Mexico two weeks ago, we seen 40 of 'em flyin' in formation. They - they -they've got bases all over the world now, you know. They've been comin' here ever since 1946, when the scientists first started bouncin' radar beams off of the moon. And they have been livin' and workin' among us, in vast quantities, ever since. The government knows all about 'em.

      Billy: What are you talkin', man?

      George Hanson: Well, you just seen one of 'em, didn't ye?

      Billy: Hey, man, I saw somethin', man; but, I didn't see 'em workin' here. You know what I mean?

      George Hanson: Well, they are people just like us. From within our own solar system. Except that their society is more highly evolved. I mean, they don't have no wars, they got no monetary system, they don't have any leaders; because, I mean, each man is a leader. I mean, each man - because of their technology, they are able to feed, clothe, house, and transport themselves equally and with no effort.

      Captain America: Wow!

      Billy: Well, you know something, man, I think, you want to know what I think? I think this is a crackpot idea! That's what I think. How 'bout that? How 'bout a little of that? I think it's a crackpot idea! I mean, if they're so smart, why don't they just reveal themselves to us, huh, and get it over with?

      George Hanson: Why don't they reveal themselves to us - is because if they did, it would cause a general panic. Now, I mean, we still have leaders upon whom we rely for the release of this information. These leaders - have decided to repress this information because of the tremendous shock that it would cause to our antiquated systems. Now, the result of this has been that the Venutians have contacted people at all walks of life, all walks of life -

      [laughs]

      George Hanson: Yes! It would be a devastin' blow to our antiquated systems. So, now Venutians are mating with people in all walks of life in an advisory capacity. For once, man will have a god-like control over his own destiny. He will have a chance to transcend and to evolve with some equality for all.

      Captain America: How was your joint, George?
