Year: 1969
Director: Dennis Hopper
Reflections: Written, acted, and directed by Dennis Hopper and Henry Fonda, Easy Rider is essentially a social commentary on 1960's counter culture. Truthfully, I didn't fall in love with this one right away. Although, I was certainly alert during the 10 minute first-person New Orleans acid trip sequence. I fully believe that's what an acid trip in The Big Easy would look like. Drugs aside, the story does have a powerful message that shines light on intolerance to anything that challenges societal norms.
