Easy Rider review by Alex D.
One of the most shocking and abrupt endings in cinematic history...

I was born in 1982, so Easy Rider's 60s-sentiment of drugs and rebellion doesn't exactly speak volumes to me, but I appreciate it nonetheless as a cultural time capsule. As two free-spirited, high-as-kites bikers (Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper) drift across the country towards Mardi Gras, they encounter a hippie commune, an ACLU lawyer (brilliantly played by Jack Nicholson) and, most poignantly, people offended by their long hair and counter-culturism. This movie is an antique whose time has long-passed. It's much more about what it represents than what it explicitly shows, as I'm sure many people have complained that "nothing happens". Overall, a good, laid-back road-trip story with an emblematic cultural importance....well worth seeing if you haven't already!
