Easy Rider was a big hit when it came out. A upclose view of the hippy community, how nice looking boys got money from importing drug from flying it in from Mexico, selling it, making their lifestyle money and then looking like the clean cut young men they were. Got to see; Chopper motorcycle that did wheelies, riding, mean red neck response to innocent enough long hair outsiders stopping in the cafe for an order. Got to see the work of P Fonda, D Hopper, J Nicholson when young and drunk sharing pot smokes and starting out with a movie that folks stood in line circling the block downtown saw in Houston and some other places, since it was date night and a new movie was in town. Those movie palaces were torn down later to make way for parking lots. I saw it in downtown Austin on a week night ... Easy Rider was a big hit when it came out.

Those movie palaces were torn down later to make way for parking lots. I saw it in downtown Austin on a week night when I was the one of five in the building when there on business, age 29. Good, I thought, maybe the T sips are in their dorm studying. This is a school night.
Rather a surprise ending. I really think that was not realistic when I saw it 45 plus years ago in Austin or again about a month ago. And several times parts of it inbetween. At the time, this whole movie was a shocker. Hopper got more and more weird after Easy Rider, Nicholson got cuter and funnier after this one. Fonda was always Jane's brother and Henry's son I think, but he did quite a bit of work after that and sure looked good doing it.
This movie presented a rather innocent view of the times with the stars looking like U of Tx fine young men going to see America with a flag on the back of the chopper jacket. Hippies like sweet 21 year old children in a commune. Hair just slightly long, no beards. Guess those characteristics came later.
Good that it did have the actors cleaned up for the movie to make it more acceptable to a more general audience dressed up in their best attire, there to be entertained, not to be make to have their tummies turn, and holding hands with their date. Fonda, Hopper, Nicholson were all handsome and clean cut and no girl/woman would have wanted to see them dirty, cussin', yelling F word or giving very noticble hand gestures. Do not recall any of that. Or having hair so long you could not tell if one was man or female until they got old enough to grow a beard.
This is an idealized view of the era. Made them look almost like the college boy next door, which they sure were not. Therefore, pleasant and interesting to watch, evoked sympathy on the part of the principal actors because you have a foreshadowing of impending doom was going to happen to them on their ride to see the festival in New Orleans and then onward. That foreshadowing of impending doom is more pronounced when you have seen it about six times now over several decades as I have.
About the music. These background numbers and the instrumental group that provided them behind scenes became instant hits. And long lasting classic standard.
Reason I am being a little vague in this review is because my aim is to get you interested enough to maybe get one for 5 dollars like I did, not 20 dollars. Don't want to give away the plot. However, if you are a conservative person with a closed mind, don't waste your money, buy Picnic, Splendor in the Grass, The World of Suzy Wong, the Graduate, The Way We Were, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting or some other good movie of the day. Good, Bad and Ugly, Magnificent Seven, Ocean's 11 might be better choices for you.
I am an old woman with way to much education and lots of exposure to pretend hippies back in the day. Thank goodness it was the pretend ones. Sweet older children who went to California to love free, live free, be flower children, smoke a little pot and party for a long time, preferable on daddy's allowance that was sent regularly plus the extra Mom sent too. This was the first generation with a significant number of young wanting childhood to be prolonged. Why marry, why not turn college from 4 yrs into 7. Don't trust anyone over 30. Flower children.
This is a good flick, non specific gender appeal to all. Absolutely not for children under 25. Don't want monkey see monkey do started all over again. I recommend it for people 55 years of age and older.
I was again surprised and enjoyed this movie after many years of my seeing it the first time. Recommended as a authentic representation of the biker culture, (not gang culture), as well as the peaceful culture of free love/living off the land in the "60's!!
Where you could go out and live off the land without "the man" arresting everyone for trespass as is the process of the last 30 years or so...I was again surprised and enjoyed this movie after many years of my seeing it the first time.
