Easy Rider- "We Blew It"
The characters' journeys in these films directly commented on the state of contemporary society. More specifically, "Easy Rider" and US road movies of the 1960s carried a certain message about America during a time when the nation's identity was contested (Klinger 180-181).
When Wyatt says, "We blew it" at the end of the movie, he is reflecting on their journey. In the beginning, they were on a quest searching for "America", a place that is supposed to represent freedom and acceptance. What they find, however, is that society is cruel, judgemental, and not accepting at all. After riding for a while, and experiencing the non-accepting culture within America, Wyatt realizes that they "blew it"; they were searching for a type of society that just does not exist.
