easy rider (1969)


for the longest time i've wanted to check out this film and i finally did and oh man it was a let down. it starts out with peter fonda and dennis hopper doing coke supplied by a bunch of mexicans then the rest of the film is just riding motorcycles, smoking pot, talking about nonsense, going to new orleans with jack nicholson, doing lsd, bitching, getting shot by hicks. whoops i just spoiled the film.

i feel like the ending was so half-assed. peter fonda and dennis hopper are just riding along the highway and these hicks in a truck go "HEH HEH LETS SCARE THEM" so they shoot dennis hopper, peter fonda freaks out and leaves to find help while the hicks come back and shoot his motorcycle and explodes. NOT COOL

i liked the part when they were tripping out on lsd. it had some good cinematography but every movie looked cool in the 60s right?

peter fonda looks just like nick mccarthy from franz ferdinand. just saying..

5.5 OUT OF 10
