Great historical insight

Saw the movie tonight with my mom at the E Street Theater and had the GREATEST cinema experience! It was both our first time at this theater and it was my mom's first time watching Easy Rider. Seeing it in the cinema, and sharing that experience with strangers is a feeling I cannot put into words, and it made me appreciate and grasp Easy Rider like never before.
Afterwards while discussing this beautiful experience with my mom, we agreed that this introduction/historical preface given here by Kit Lazer and screened right before the film set the perfect tone and transformed what would’ve been just a night at the movies as consumers, into an intellectual gathering. This, along with the fact that there are no advertisements played before the feature, show that the Landmark Theater truly has a righteous intention. Their motive and focus is the films themselves, not what they can sell alongside of it. My mother put it perfectly: “It gives respect to humans.”
Much like Easy Rider, Landmark's E Street has the personality of an indie, with the small size of the auditorium bonding the audience and making us all somehow feel like old friends. In our laughs we became one, and in the silence we were one.
Easy Rider is a profound experience. And I love that description “A man went looking for America. And couldn’t find it anywhere…
My mom, who has very clear (and sometimes tough) opinions, was really, really moved and thought it was such an innocent and human movie. Innocent-Easy Rider, I know! But it’s really true. On the way home her whole spirit was uplifted and she described the movie as "kind," and said that watching it was a very peaceful experience. I know one thing for sure - our discussion will definitely be resuming tomorrow morning.
Our final verdict? - “Watching Easy Rider is like splashing pure and cool water, from a natural spring with a well funneled deep into the earth, onto your face.
Peace and Blessings!
