Easy Rider and the Motorcycle Diary

If you have to subdivide the road movies, it should be divided into motorcycle road movies and convertible road movies. Both Easy Rider and Motor Diary belong to the former, two Harleys and a classic Norton 500 that still leaks oil. Motorcycle, 5 people, the last 4 are dead, and one may still be alive now

. When I read the motorcycle diary, I thought of Easy Rider involuntarily. The two movies don't seem to have much in common, except that the protagonist drives both motorcycle. Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda in 1969 brought the handsome men of that era, and their friends agreed that people 40 years ago looked at them like Depp, Pitt and Oldman 10 years ago in our eyes now, Jack. Nicholson also had fairly thick hair at the time. Easy Rider is like the music of the 60s. It can be said that there is no strict script, there is a sense of sexuality, and there are a few flashes that they may think were cool at the time, and you can guess the ending is classic without reading it. "They All died", but all suddenly and inexplicably. In those days, there was Woodstock69' and Jimi Hendrix

in '78. In 2004, Gail was invincible and beautiful, and his body was indeed thinner. Listening to the soundtrack of the movie, I thought of 21 Grams (21 Grams) and love is a son of a bitch. (Love Is a Bitch), it turned out to be true, the soundtrack was all by a guy named Gustavo Santaolalla, glissandos and string twists that were totally understated to my appetite, and my heart was broken. A road movie can easily become a landscape movie if it's not done well, and the motorcycle diary has breathtaking views, but it's definitely not a landscape movie

"Do you want to live like that?" "You shouldn't live like that."

    George Hanson: Oh, that's alright. There's no misunderstanding. We're all in the same cage, here.

  • George Hanson: They got this here, see, scissor-happy, beautify America thing going on around here. They're tryin' to make everybody look like Yul Brynner. They use rusty razor blades on the last two long hairs that they brought in here and I wasn't here to protect 'em. See, I'm a - I'm a law-er. Done a lot of work for the ACLU.
