Damn mike bond, you must be a perfect human being with perfect morals that adheres to everything your parents taught you and never did a damn thing wrong..... what a perfect human being you must be. I admire your judgement.
@@itruck96 Thinking about what is cool to say is very cool. Why 'The grapes of wrath'? Why boring? You give empty statements and bring up Citizen Kane out of nowhere.
Over 50 years old, and still one of the coolest, atmospheric, chilled out movies ever made. It seemed like nobody was acting and were just being who they really were. A lot of interesting dialog, banter and laughter, but even the ‘trivial’ carefree dialog has meaning, goals and objectives, or leads to something that does. The irony is that it looks like they’re just having a good carefree time, but there was real effort put into making it appear that way. Although not in this scene, Jack Nicholson is a master at that, .
The hippy dude seemed like a miserable ass-hole to me, and a miserable ass-hole can be unhappy anywhere. He seemed intent on bringing Billy down about being excited about Mardi Gras as if he was so intellectually and spiritually superior. Fuck that dude!
@@KT-pu3gn no fool. You kinda miss my point. This era while it didn’t ACCEPT freedom, WAS more free and uncharted than today. Back then you could a slew of things you absolutely CANNOT do. The irony is you think this era is more “free” somehow.
@@dontask6863 I'm telling you as a Mexican and what I've lived in this country I'm sure it would of been way worse back then for me so if you belive minorities in color, ethnicity groups, guys, transsexuals had would had more freedom back then idk what you're thinking my guy
I saw the movie on opening day at the Arlington Theater 1969 in Indianapolis when I was 17. In my wildest of dreams at that point in time never realized that Peter would become one of my best friends and we maintained the relationship until his untimely Death. He was high on life and loved living it right down to the end. We last spoke about two weeks before he passed and he never let on about the seriousness of his situation. Among his talents he should also have been a Comedian…..we were always laughing!!!!
Thats great. did you smoke dope because of course that makes you laugh for a while . Well it did me until it just made me depressed. i saw this film in 69 i was 15-16 here in the UK i loved it but did not get the message, i went down a very self destructive path of hard drug addiction and chasing money. i am 70 now my life has been a disaster just wreckage everywhere. apart from alcohol and tobacco my first illegal drug i took about the same time as seeing the film was lsd and it blew my tiny little mind, to use hendrix lyrics,. I think absolutely the worst decision in my life was ever taking drugs of any description including tobaacco and alcohol, i am a chain smoker to this day. hopper has written that he feels responsible for the cocaine explosion in the USA, he said before easy rider there was no cocaine problem in the US and after it was everywhere. If that is true then there are a lot of dead souls who will have wanted to have a word with him when he passed over. He himself i understand had a terrible drug problem for most of his life and him and Peter were not close and had great dispute about money in the years after the film came out. Sadly in my case Easy Rider was a false dawn. What drugs have done to the world are evil and cost probably hundreds of millions of lives and vast misery and pain. Now there is an argument to be made that we have free will and humans can chose to destroy themselves with drugs but there is something uniquely evil about drugs and sadly this film does romanticize this evil. If there is a good role model in the film for me it would be the commune scenes. Be interesting to hear some of your peter stories.
The passage of time is weird when we can still watch them in their young primes, it's like a time machine but we are just a fly on the wall watching that moment. One day all of us will be gone, live your life and don't waste it being miserable doing something you don't want to do.
this movie has change my mind and live. who thinks about everything and what happens around us. the film showed me good things but also bad things. it broke up dimensions I had never thought about before. it somehow symbolizes the world as it is and always will be. without embellishments and happy end. a very real and true film
I loved everything about this film,my brother was a huge Dennis Hopper fan,i remember seeing this movie at a Midnight special showing,it blew my mind at 8 years old
The end of the scene is on I 70 in Utah. That is the LaSalle mountains near Moab. If they were going to New Orleans from LA, they took the scenic route instead of across I 10.
Tbh Dennis didn’t seem like a real hippie more of a biker kind of hells angels guy. In the movie he comes off more as an asshole compared to Peter Fondas character who is way more relaxed and laid back just my observation even though I love Dennis hopper
I'm a loser when it comes to being a unsuccessful with very little achievements which I really wasn't interested in at all..I think success & being rich is overrated but I'm a winner when it comes to being a good outlaw most of the time with my best friend Gary who is also a good outlaw mostly he's 68 years old & a young hippie from way back in the day cause the average age for a true good hippie is about 76..Gary taught me what real free spiritism😁🌿 & real nature🐿🦔🦉🦆🐦 is all about & it has very little to do with money
Anybody here who can break down the scene ? I keep coming here to see that scene dont even know what they are talking about but there something about it ...
He says while being a rude condescending punk to Billy. It would''ve been fitting had Billy knocked his ass out and he and Wyatt had left his smart ass stranded.
@@mistermax3034: Sorry, but I´ve sat through this movie many times since the original theater release in ´69 and absolutely none of the times has this character ever struck me as anything but condescending, rude, and unappreciative toward Wyatt and Billy, especially Billy. Fuck that guy. LOL!
the solution to the problem was invented already the first time somebody made a longer tour. This was in 1886 when Berta Benz (wife of Carl Benz; founder of Merdedes Benz and inventor of car) took the 14hour tour from Ladenbug to Raststatt together with her two sons. She re-filled the gasoline.
Its about who we are. And how people chase other's aspirations and forget to be themselves. This film, and this scene in particular is really mind opening.
I see this film as very misunderstood, people regard it as a love letter to 60s counter culture. It's more a bitter sweet letter to 60s counter culture. Luke Askew's character is an asshole and Luke Askew regarded him as such and played him that way. Even the name Easy Rider was a pejorative term, it meant a freeloader. We're not being asked to like these guys. Both mainstream America and the supposed alternative are treated with equal contempt by this film.
I love when Peter Fonda says I never wanted to be anybody else, that line sums up the whole premise of what the film stands for
The Film stands for Freedom and how to Obtain it.
The Trick is not getting Murdered First☠️☠️☠️

@mike bond Next time I have a party...remind me not to invite YOU!
So much meaning can be meant so many ways .......I love hate it ......
I never fully understood 'til now. He's saying he's free and glad he's not a slave to the man like everybody else
Easy Rider is a classic. One of the best films ever made.
Have you ever seen The Grapes of Wrath? Easy rider was boring. It's only cool to say it's not. Citizen Kane was just as boring.

It’s a classic but it’s a pretty amateur film. The message is great though

He's right. All cities are alike.
Away from nature. Lots of cement.
Lots of unhappy people.

“A long way from the city and thats where I wanna be right now..” I say to myself everyday during my terrible commute to NYC
Classic American movie right here. Kinda wish it was still this time era.
It is
Me too
you want it to be an era where being free wasnt well accepted which I guess that is todays era still but really? You didnt get the point of the movie?

There are no wasted scenes in this film. Everything serves a specific purpose. That’s one of the aspects of this movie that make it a classic.
Laszlo Kovacs cinematography is amazing! I never get tired of this flick!

This scene along with the fire scene in "there will be blood" are two of my most favourite movie scenes...
The end of the scene is on I 70 in Utah. That is the LaSalle mountains near Moab. If they were going to New Orleans from LA, they took the scenic route instead of across I 10.
I heard Luke and Dennis didn't like each other in real life either.
Shows in this scene and the 'who sent you' scene at the commune.
Tbh Dennis didn’t seem like a real hippie more of a biker kind of hells angels guy. In the movie he comes off more as an asshole compared to Peter Fondas character who is way more relaxed and laid back just my observation even though I love Dennis hopper
Gen x. We had it all as kids. Look at the sky!!!
A long way from the city
All 3 are no longer with us. So long friends.
I am the same age Dennis hopper was in this movie that's why I can relate to his character and mannerisms !!
Billy and George were my favorite characters. They just wanted to have some fun.
Rip Pete
All three guys RIP
long way from the city is where to be!!
Very cool clip. Thanks.
I'm pretty much a loser in life, but I never wanted to be anyone else.
I concur.
thats fine wi me
I'm a loser when it comes to being a unsuccessful with very little achievements which I really wasn't interested in at all..I think success & being rich is overrated but I'm a winner when it comes to being a good outlaw most of the time with my best friend Gary who is also a good outlaw mostly he's 68 years old & a young hippie from way back in the day cause the average age for a true good hippie is about 76..Gary taught me what real free spiritism😁🌿 & real nature🐿🦔🦉🦆🐦 is all about & it has very little to do with money
Sounds like you're allowing someone else's standards to define you. That's a mistake.
@@HC-cb4yp Nope it's just called great advice..There's way more to life than being successful
Same here, Peter. I’ve never for one moment wanted to be anyone else. It’s not easy being me. But at times it’s very much worth it.
oddly,the hitchhiker appeared in a movie the year before as a Green Beret.
He was also one the guards In Cool Hand Luke
My favorite scene in the movie.
Awesome✌
I like how they share their weed with the various travellers they pick up on the way
Great camera work, fading in and out on Hopper while they talked!
Racking focus.
I've wanted to be somebody else for the longest time. But everyone else is taken.
Had a tragic ending great movie tho interesting time love the 1960s
That's Sgt Provo (Luke Askew) rehabbing from the Green Berets movie with John Wayne.
He was also in "Cool Hand Luke", as Boss Paul.
Anybody here who can break down the scene ? I keep coming here to see that scene dont even know what they are talking about but there something about it ...
Life...i want to say somewhere with how a man lives everyday...
rebel guy,...they are not discussing any particular thing. Just like normal life.
Dennis Hopper made parts of this movie into a comedy.

How did they have enough gas along those long stretches between towns?

Non scripted movie :...
Who besides me couldn't stand the hitchhiker .
I don't mind him he's just a little paranoid but he seems laid back which is way to be almost all the time✌🌿
honestly he reminded me of modern woke people. punishes you for your "insensitivity"
the modern wokesters did come from somewhere. #notallhippies
He was annoying.
