Easy Rider by Ned Rupp

Like Ashley said below, I would be lying if I said that I really enjoyed this movie. I think it was probably more significant for the people who watched it when it was released in the late 60's, they probably had a little more patience and a better attentoin span for it. Today, though, it is just wayyyy too slow moving for me and it really couldn't hold my attention. The way the camera scaled EVERY landscape in its entirety and the scene where the camera goes around looking at everybody's face in a circle of people kind of summed up why my impatience just didn't mesh well with this movie. The whole time I was waiting for something sweet to happen, but it was just the same thing over and over, two guy's riding on motorcycles while extremely high on LSD and weed. It just seemed to me like every other "rebel" movie out there, I donno I guess it just wasn't unique to me. It did represent the counterculture of the 60's well, though, and I think it should be applauded for that.
