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 open-minded pioneers of the West, eccentric hippies, lawyers who are confused by justice, and innocent girls who are friends with them.
This is the United States in 1969, and the world in 1969. Easy Rider opened a road of Hard Riding .I
heard that this movie changed the landscape of American movies in the 70s, and it really lived up to its name. Especially seeing Peter Fonda driving a disproportionately big Moto on the American Western Highway, seeing Dennis Hooper to the South, Georgia? ,When the old man with a gun in the car raised a middle finger, he listened to the road rock. The indescribable joy in my heart!

    Easy Rider, about freedom, about the moment when freedom is shattered by a single blow. Life is too short to be happy. Who knows what's ahead? Let's run backwards with the music and the road~

    The road interpretation of the "Beat Generation", which seems to be free and unrestrained, is rejected by the mainstream society, and finally achieves real "freedom" with corpses on the streets. Only Jack Nicholson's ephemeral acting, one music video after another, scribbled narrative and chaotic editing, form more than content. 6

Easy Rider quotes

  • Billy: There's nothin' but sand, man. They're not gonna make it, man. They ain't gonna grow anything here.

    Captain America: They're gonna make it. Dig. They're gonna make it.

  • Jack: We have planted our seeds. We ask - that our efforts be worthy - to produce simple food - for simple taste. We ask that our efforts be rewarded. We thank you for the food we eat from other hands - that we may share it with our fellow man - and be even more generous - what it is from our own. Thank you for our place - to make a stand.

    Commune: Amen.

    Jack: Let's eat.
