Cultural Manifesto and Tragedy of the Beat Generation

The cultural manifesto and tragic portrayal of the Beat Generation. The hair toughness of the Hollywood kids. The story is casual, and the language of the shots is extremely free, just like two motorcycle youths who made money by reselling drugs on the road. The former hitchhiker took them to a hippie utopia, where dozens of men and women were exiled in the wilderness, farming indiscriminately and living in a mess. They arrived at the place of revelry, and they were even more empty after taking drugs. The explosion of the ending makes the randomness of the whole story meaningful.

    I've been wanting to see this since Dennis Hopper passed away (does it really have to be this way), a road movie full of '60s rock, where young people drive motorcycles to their yearning music festivals. It's a pity that I was too tired to watch it and had visual fatigue. Except for the unexpected ending, I didn't see the merits and significance of the movie. Watching too many movies in one day is no good, I'm just shamelessly clearing my hard drive for more downloads, alas.

    This subject is actually filmed like this, shallow and empty. I love it, hate it and feel embarrassed! Nothing to say, just a paragraph: That's what all about. Talking about it and living it is two different things. It's really hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the market place.

We thank you for the food we eat from other hands - that we may share it with our fellow man - and be even more generous - what it is from our own. Thank you for our place - to make a stand.
