Best movie and casting artisit!

I saw this movie when it first came out, It meant a lot to me as I am from that era,Now that I,m older I appriciate the talents of Peter Fonda.Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson,They represented freedom that we were struggling to find then, Seeing it again now I really enjoyed it,It brought back memories of my youth and rekindled nice memories of back when in my life, I had to keep the memory of Dennis Hooper alive in my soul and spirit,May he rest in peace, He was one of the great ones in my opinion, I also like the Rolling Stones magazine article on Dennis Hooper by Vennesa Grigoriadis, A true free spirit!.

Where's Your Easy Rider Gone

In the recent Associated Press obituary for the late actor and director, Dennis Hooper, is quoted as believing that, for him, the 1969 counter-cultural classic motorcycle film that he directed, "Easy Rider", was more a statement about the political landscape of the times than a male-bonding biker "road" movie. I agree with him, or at least that is how I have always viewed the film. The subjects of drugs, using and selling, dressing for "hippie' success, the hard road of rural communal living (or urban communal living, for that matter), and trying to cope with the "squares" and "rednecks" were all in a day's work back in the days for those of us committed to "seeking a newer world.".

In that sense "Easy Rider" is a very, very different road trip from that of the literary one in Jack Kerouac's 1957 "On The Road" (although the "action" of that book actually took place in the late 1940s). That small generational difference in time probably in cultural time was a matter of different epochs. The action of "On The Road" speaks to an almost subterranean escape from the bleakness of American conformity in the immediate post-World War II period behind the backs of the squares. The bikers, Fonda and Hopper (Wyatt and Billy, alright), in "Easy Rider" are up front and public, as reflected the change in mores of their times, about their "making and doing" as they confronted their version of American conformity in the 1960s. In the end they lost that public battle, and we have been fighting a rearguard series of "culture wars" battles ever since. But watch this film to get a slice of 1960s Americana. And if you are too young to know some of the references just ask mother and father (or the grandparents, ouch!). They WILL know.

Note: The late Doctor Gonzo", journalist Hunter Thompson, rather eloquently in HIS countercultural classic, "Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas", mentioned toward the end of that fearsome saga that sometime in the late 1960s he could almost see the high tide of the movement ebbing before his eyes signaling the end of all those fierce dreams that we had of that "newer world" and the beginning of the approach of the "night of the long knives." "Easy Rider" is the cinematic take on that proposition

Classic

I knew of this movie since I was A Kid and I Am A Motorcycle Fan but I found this movie Not to be as great as I thought It would be, because Its Not very realistic (As an up-date actually I Am being foolish to say this movie Is Not realistic actually this movie Is ahead of Its time, I do Not know what to call them Some call them rednecks but then Jeff Foxworthy make Them to be a back woods Country Folks as Myself, Some call them pharisees but what ever they are called they are murderers looking for an excuse to murder and We know what happened when one was elected president with the help of false Prophets If You Google 911 Blueprint for truth) even though Oklahoma has Its fair share of lying slime politicians but still yet I have never heard of Anyone getting shot for having long hair but that could be because I Am The Meek and I Know what Meek means and I shoot back, but this movie Is entertaining. I see Hollywood Is on here trying to get People to buy expensive Blu Ray and yes I have a Playstation 3 and seen how they make a picture look burly to trick You Into buying something more expensive. Hollywood are thieves they do everything to keep high resolution recording equipment out of the hands of Artist as Me, I mean come on Hollywood do Not have talent any more then they try to sell the movies on Blu Ray LOL. When Hollywood says High Definition what they mean Is HD for digital standards because Analog and CRT already was high resolution especially S-VHS and film Is even higher resolution. I bought this movie on VHS used and I Am very pleased with It.
