My dad passed away July this year at 68. This was the movie we'd always watch. His favorite movie of all time. I got his 66 harley sportster he got at age 17 in 1969. I ride it proudly daily in honor of him. Even though i still can't get through this whole movie without tearing up. Rip dad (david) I'll miss you forever

The shocking ending, is a real metaphor for the end of the swinging 60's. The trip is well and truly, over.
@M1tjakaramazov
5 ай бұрын
I'm not sure that's a correct metaphor. The Swinging 60s predominantly referred to the London scene. The American cinema tradition of abrupt bad endings was more part of the general disillusionment of late 60s counter culture, as a response to the Vietnam War, political realities, and social inequality. You could even hear it in the pop and rock songs of the time: they all went from major to minor towards the end of the decade.

@@M1tjakaramazov I'd agree. The "Swinging" Sixties was primarily a London name as it referenced the out-there clothes attitudes (and music of course) that was the bursting out of the youth of England that had had to endure childhoods under the crippling austerity of the post-war years. It was mainly a late 1965 to 1966 label. I think America recovered more quickly in many ways socially after the war (though of course they too lost a lot of young men to it). By the middle of the decade especially 1966-67 it became clear that youth were not just choosing to wear what they wanted how they wanted but were on a spiritual search for meaning beyond chasing material gain. In significantly large numbers they followed the Beatles to India and places like Morocco and Bali in search of enlightenment yet many fell under the deceitful spell of consciousness-opening drugs and were lost. By 1968 those who had become more politically engaged were shocked and disappointed at he pushback against the more enlightened policies espoused by the Kennedys and MLK and reacted with This was less of a Swinging London ear and more of what came to be called the counter culture. It lingered on into the early 70s in England and Australia (where I'm from) but many commentators say that after it's greatest 'cultural moment' at the Woodstock Festival in the late summer of 1969, it died at Altamont Speedway. Some tried hard to keep it going but he loss of many important musical figures in a few short months created a parallel moment to the loss of many 1950s icons in 1958/9 period a decade earlier. It seems a new decade so often requires a new perspective.
@M1tjakaramazov

@ianbartle456 Yeah I forgot about the Altamont speedway incident. I suspect the more intelligent fraction of the hippie movement soon began to realise things weren't gonna change as much as they thought anyway, and this disillusionment seeped into the art, including cinema. Many already described Jimi Hendrix's Stars And Stripes rendition at Woodstock as a bitter sweet foreshadowing moment.

@@elpulpo800 I'd tend to agree with that. John Lennon called the end early by singing 'The Dream is Over' but it was as much a reference to his personal dream/delusion as it was everyone else's. Here in AUST the 60s certainly did linger in well into the 70s. Australia kept the dream alive - a dream for personal affluence and freedom - and it was largely possible here. That is, until hit by the major economic headwinds of the OPEC crisis - and then the major cultural shift that was punk. The music matters a lot to me and I'd say 1965-75 wasn't just coherent, it was transcendent.

Our great grandson turns 15 next month & my wife is giving him her 500cc Buell for his birthday ,I already gave the sporty to our 22 yr old grandson but he don't have a heated garage & leaves it at our place ,I worked hard keeping all the bikes in original factory condition as well as keeping all of my father's bikes still titled in his name so they have " A" titles ,1 owner factory spec bikes have a massive value ,when I pass my son's will try to keep the bikes A titles as long as they can before they are forced with selling them due to retitling costing 80% of their value ,or they can store the bikes and keep our family's legacy with Harley Davidson going ,the best memories of my life involve riding motorcycles ,time sure does fly ,seems like just a few summers ago my pops was giving me his Panhead ,and now I'm 72 and giving the bikes to grandchildren & great grandchildren ,I sure do hope I live long enough to see all my kids & grandkids take 1 last ride with the wife & me .

A friend of mine used to have the iconic poster of Fonda and Hopper riding across the bridge. He was killed in a car crash one night in 1981. His name was Scott Howard Wilson Morgan, he was 18, and his friend Simon Harthman was also killed aged 21. I was 17 at the time and it was the first time it occurred to me that people our age could die. I'll never forget the shock when I heard about it, I had to lean forward as it felt like a punch in the stomach. The funeral was just awful, but he was given a bikers sendoff. He loved British bikes like Triumphs and BSA's and his sister Liz, also deceased now, said he wanted a Bonneville. RIP Scott, Simon and Liz.

In Paul Simon's deeply profound song 'America', he sings: '"Kathy, I'm lost", I said - though I knew she was sleeping. I'm empty and aching and I don't know why.' Poignant words also that many would have heard related to the struggle of those in the counter-culture who were just trying to do things differently and find a way to build a better world. Many were deeply signed up to this and really thought it was possible. For some it was possible for a season - and no doubt they'd look back on it as a truly beautiful time - so full of hope and possibility. For many others, ideals that promised so much fell flat and left people deeply disappointed. Iconic songwriters from the 60s like Lennon and Townshend captured this feeling well writing the words 'The dream is over' and song 'Won't Get Fooled Again'. The same sort of alienation and deep loss of ideals is brilliantly captured in both if the films 'Midnight Cowboy', and 'Easy Rider'. All hit really hard, but particularly if you were a believer in the sort of personal freedom championed as a background.

@@ianbartle456 Oh PLEASE. The average boomer's idea of "building a better world" in the '60s involved protesting and rioting a lot, ingesting lots of narcotics, and screwing everybody from the opposite gender they saw and were halfway attracted to. Ultimately they were just a bunch of selfish hedonists, a lot of whom went on to become the corrupt corporate fatcats of the '80s, transforming into the very type of perspon they claimed to hate. It's no coincidence that the crime, divorce and drug usage rates skyrocketed and America's been on a downward spiral since. And today the ones who are still alive are supporters of censorship, global tyranny and greedier than ever.

Eu assisti este filme em 1980 quando tinha 16 anos. Cheguei em casa a noite e liguei a tv , o filme estava no início e assisti sem maior interesse. A música foi me envolvendo e me identifiquei com a liberdade que o filme inpirava, nunca imaginei que terminasse daquela forma. a música final é perfeita. Um aviso para os que buscam a liberdade fora do sistema.

I love this ending, because over the course of about 3 minutes, it rams symbolism down your throat. The entire movie can be said to be an embodiment of a vision of the American Dream. Billy flips off the guys in the truck, and then they kill him for a cheap laugh. Wyatt comes back and lays his American flag jacket over the dying Billy. It's a way of saying the American Dream is dying, killed for a cheap thrill. Then you have Wyatt getting shot and his bike being destroyed, in which is the money and the freedom it represents. It's destroyed, totaled. The free are destroyed by those who want immediate pleasure, be it a laugh or some other "pleasure", e.g., a sense of security or a pariah-ization of them goddamn hippies. It's a rejection of the ethos of the nation and its people in favor of immediate gratification.

I'd have to agree with your thesis --- to me, the violent ending was a symbol of America's loss of innocence that happened in the 60's --- the JFK and MLK assassinations, losing in Vietnam --- we were no longer a "shining city on a hill" but a country ravaged by violence and hate --- the American flag jacket draped over a bloody and dying Billy was a very powerful symbolic message of this

The thing about this scene that stands out to me is the horror and shock in Wyatt's voice as he sees his friend on the ground, mortally injured. After spending most of the movie cool and distant we get to see the unfiltered humanity and compassion of our hero -- a little too late as it turns out. Contrast to the ease with which two random yokels in an old Chevy pickup ("See the USA in your Chevrolet" indeed) commit double murder on two innocent strangers, on a public road, in broad daylight. Apparently, answering an unprovoked threat with a middle finger was a capital crime in Louisiana in 1968. To quote fellow psychedelic misfit Brian Wilson, Wyatt and Billy just weren't made for those times.

Rednecks really did things like that back then. Any male with long hair was to be aggressively hectored, if not physically attacked. But ten years later, they were the only people who had long hair. I remind myself of that when I interact with their spiritual descendants, who have learned how to behave in more socially acceptable ways.

Today Peter Fonda passed away. Easy Rider was the first ever adult film I ever watched when I was 16 in 1970. I watched it again last night for the second time. There are so many new things I saw in the film. When Jack Nicholson talks about aliens is the first thing. This seems to be a prediction as what he said is now believed to be true. Secondly, in the commune, where there was a chap, possibly the leader of the commune does these weird and mysterious movements. At 16, I thought this was simply strange motions and that there was something wrong with him. I now know that the "strange movements " were the self defence movemensts of Tai Chi. May Peter have a long memory. With this film he will.

ledzeppelin711 Yes, I did see it (on KZitem) several years back. I was pretty high myself when I saw it, but from what I remember I liked it OK. (My favorite part was seeing Peter Fonda's full frontal nudity.) I liked the part in the laundomat when he's watching the clothes go around and says, "wow!" I remember Bruce Dern as well, and I think crazy ol' Rip Torn was in it too. I liked Easy Rider much better, though.Another great film with Jack is "Five Easy Pieces." Karen Black stars in that one as well. I just love her to death. Also partly written by Jack was a movie starring Susan Strasberg, Jack, and Dean Stockwell. Forget the name, but it was also about the hippie drug scene. I liked that one better than The Trip (Dean is a big favorite of mine!). I'll give it another try when sober! Thanks for your reply.

I wish I could have seen Easy Rider at its debut, but I was only one year old, so I doubt that I would have remembered any of it anyway (tee hee hee). Yeah, for me it's one of the great, sadly realistic looks at that time and place, and Hopper and Fonda knew what they were talking about. Were you at Woodstock? I think I would have grooved along to that experience. The pot probably isn't as good now as it was back then. Sadly, I have lost my 'connection' by now, but that's a story for another time!

I understood that the production company after the bullitt movie , just sold the mustang movie cars to a car lot and called it good. Some lucky guy bought one of the mustans and steve mcqueen spent alot of years trying to get the guy to sell the car to him. God I want to go back to the Late Sixties and LIVE THERE FOREVER.

A couple of years after this movie came out, I was hitch-hiking across the country,on my savings,and in Texarcanaa TX I stopped at a little cafe, to fuel up, and 4 dudes,just like the guys in the pick up truck,started giving me a hard time about my Yankee hat,I paid,got up and left then the 4 came out,pulled knives out and said they were going to kill them a Yankee,I run for my life and outrun them so back in those days there were real people in the deep South just like the movie portrays.

Richard Kuklinski ran into that very thing while down south. 3 or 4 yahoos decided to give him a hard time. Things ended for the yahoos that night. Don't blame Richie one bit...

I’m posting from ‘Australia’…..proves ‘Easy Rider’ had and still has a deep impact on a global audience after 60 years. It proves the positive impact that ‘motorcycles’ culture and fashion has on the ‘working class man’. For me……..Easy Rider depicts a great irony’…….”they went looking for America and could’nt find it anywhere” ! But, they were still able to ‘freely’ go look for it in the first place. Some places in the world people wake up every day to, starvation, imprisonment, persecution by some ‘Ugly little Authoritarian or Dictator !

I grew up in the late 70s/early 80s.This movie was marketed as a motorcycle movie,I finally saw it in the mid 80s and realized it didn’t have anything to do with motorcycles,it was a hippy movie.They could’ve been in a hot rod or a semi truck or anything but it definitely wasn’t a motorcycle movie.The funny part is that everyone wanted a chopper after it came out.

I remember the first time I saw this movie. They where my damn heroes and I also remember watching em get fucking shot to death in front of me and the camera zooming away from the bike in flames and my heroes on the ground, waiting for them to get up and wondering how where they gonna get out of this one....and the screen went black.

Film signified the bitter loss of innocence of the 60's --- it mirrored the senseless violence that happened at the Altamont Stones' concert
