I was born only months before Easy Rider was released in theaters. I've always had a fascination with the 1960's counter-culture and the music from that era has strongly influenced my own musical compositions. Curiously, it wasn't until 2009 that I finally sat down to watch Easy Rider. In this day and age, many people are too busy to think about life as a whole and are programmed by society to such an extent that they could not begin to reach deep within themselves for a higher understanding. This movie would likely bore such people. This movie represents the very definition of true freedom, as well as the cost of enjoying said freedom at the hands of those who are too frightened of the responsibility that comes with it. I find it sad that a large percentage of those who understood true freedom gave into the majority-rule aspect of society for the worship of the almighty dollar. If you are capable of a higher understanding, watch this movie. Immerse yourself in it and read deeply into the metaphor throughout the film.Read full review
An Excellent, almost Too Real look at what it was like for some of Us living life in the time know as the Sixties. It includes A Music Soundtrack Disc as part of the package as well as A Short Book on the Film and some History about the times. The Film is a must see for anyone who Lived or wanted to Live in A Different Time. The Behind the Scenes Making of The Film is Excellent. It gives you the Reason for the Film as well as how and why it unfolded the way it did. There are alot of "In Front" and "Behind" Attitudes of America in the Sixties. The Story of Two Guys on Iron Horses, out to Discover America and What Makes Us Different From the Rest of the World, only to Discover that maybe we are not really Different as a Nation. Ideas are best read about because they are very hard to find when sharing with others. What is Freedom and what is Control. Are We Free or is it all an Illusion??? Could you do what they did and if so would you survive? Watch the Movie and Discover Yourself. Go on the WEB and look up and see what others are really doing. Or go to your local Harley Shop and what is going on in your neighborhood.Read full review

THIS IS BY FAR THE GREATEST MOVIE TO COME OUT OF THE 70'S. THE OPENNESS OF THIS STORY SHOWS HOW THE PEOPLE OF THE VARIOUS REGIONS OF THIS COUNTRY NEED TO CHANGE THEIR MIND SET TO THE VARIOUS GROUPS AND IDEAS OF WHAT THIS COUNTRY IS BASED ON. PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT AND THINKING IS DIFFERENT BUT WE SHOULD BE TOLERANT OF ALL. I KNOW THIS FIRST HAND FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCES OF THE 70'S FOR BEING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT PEOPLE AROUND ME THOUGHT WHAT I SHOULD BE. THE PERSECUTION FOR BEING OUT OF NORMAL FOR THE TIME WAS TERRIBLE. I FELT WHAT THESE 3 FREE SPIRITED MEN FELT. THANK GOODNESS I WAS NOT TURNED ON LIKE THEY WERE AT THE END BUT SOME DAYS I THOUGHT DEATH MIGHT HAVE BEEN EASY TO STOP THE PERSECUTION. THIS COPY I BOUGHT BECAUSE SOMEBODY BORROWED MY FISRT COPY AND DID NOT RETURN . THAT'S OK BECAUSE NOW I HAVE A DELUXE EDITION 35 YEARS LATER. THIS YEAR IS 35 YEARS I HAVE BEEN MARRIED AND THAT WILL MAKE A LOT OF THOSE THAT TRIED TO HURT ME AND TURN ME INTO THEM THINK MAYBE THEY SHOULD REEXAMINE THERE OWN LIFE.Read full review
