Easy rider
Easy rider characterizes the spirit of the sixties by involving freedom, dreams, and struggle. Peter Fonda plays Wyatt a 20-something purpose seeker along with his best friend Billy (Dennis Hopper), a true Californian hippy. Like many others these two friends set out on a trip to discover true America; to discover them selves. Funding their trip was a quick drug deal with some Mexican dealers. The main message of this film is that people are scared to live or to see others live. That difference threatens people and their action is to get angry and violent, as the film expressed numerous times. Violent acts portrayed by common comfortable country people. This film is relevant today, because of that. Everywhere you go you are going to find similar people that are impartial to change and feel threatened by freedoms of others and how others express it.
