Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.
'Easy Rider' is a good movie, it is a disturbing movie and although it is
from 1969 it has not dated at all. Dennis Hopper, also director, and Peter
Fonda, also producer, star as Billy and Wyatt. They are two bikers from Los
Angles on their way to New Orleans. We see how they ride their bikes, smoke
their joints, how they meet George Hanson (Jack Nicholson), the lawyer with
a drinking problem, and how they are not respected because they represent
something most people wish for but can't have.
The movie itself is good, the soundtrack that comes with it is even better
and it adds a lot to the movie. All this together with fine performances
from Hopper and Fonda and a great one from Nicholson (his first Oscar
nomination was for this movie) make this a classic road movie.
