Well done Billy
A significant movie in the history of America. Well written, well directed and casts acted to best of of their capacity! A unique but sad era of Hippies known for freedom of life and free love. Struggle of the community and dislike among other people is narrated by sharp but inspiring way! Melodious sound tracks and nice steel book is a deal breaker here.Watched on my OLED TV and enjoyed a lot.Warning: Not for the children though rated U/A. Culturally unique movie and some people may not like it completely.

American Classic 1960’s STEELBOOK (FULL SCREEN 16:9)
Note: This movie is not for everyone because at times it’s boring and slow face still it has some solid moments. I enjoyed it, doesn’t mean you will like it. So watch for few reviews and also trailer available in you-tube before Buying..”Easy Rider is a 1969 film directed by Dennis Hopper and starring himself, Peter Fonda, and Jack Nicholson. The film is now incredibly famous and was very successful at its release; it represented America’s counterculture of the period, and can be considered an artistic document of the late sixties period.”Wyatt and Billy are two motorcyclists riding from California to New Orleans, in order to see a big carnival that is being held. On their way, the encounter farmers, a hippie communal home and a young alcoholic (Jack Nicholson).I bought this SteelBook for 599/- and for this Price I must say it’s a steel(Steal) though it has slight dent at the bottom.Disc Packing info:As Usual contains Single DiscVideoResolution: 1080pAspect ratio: 1.85:1 (FULL SCREEN 16:9)Original aspect ratio: 1.85:1AudioEnglish: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1Subs: English, HindiRegards,AVBuff™ (Audio/Video Fan)

Bluray cover
This review is not about movie or bluyay disc.Movie is excellent so the bluray disc.Two sticker are pasted on the front cover of bluray ruining the image of movie. They should be posted on the back instead.

Easy Rider is a truly landmark film in the true sense of the meaning of the term. Produced on a very low budget and set in the late 60’s it was, in my opinion, the first movie to really capture a particularly interesting moment in time. While many films sort of used the notion of the late 60’s, drugs, sex, rebellion, idealism, as a means to make money, this seemed really the first film to accurately reflect a realistic image of the time period with an unflinching eye.Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper play Wyatt, or Captain America, and Billy, two free type spirits who, after a making quite a bit of money through a sale of drugs, decide to hit the road and drive cross country to Mardi Gras. Along the way, they pick up George Hanson, a southern lawyer, played by Jack Nicholson.While watching this movie, you may get a sense that it is sort of a western, with the western landscapes and the main characters riding ‘iron’ horses. This was the intention of the filmmakers, especially the director, Dennis Hopper. One of my favorite scenes was at the beginning, right before Wyatt and Billy are about to embark on their trip, Wyatt removes his watch and throws it on the ground. This symbolized a sense of throwing off the constraints of the old world and an effort to embrace true freedom, if there is such a thing.Nicholson tends to steal the scenes he is in, and gives a particularly wonderful piece about what freedom is, and why people are so afraid of it. He sort of represented to me one who has been fed many misconceptions about the individuals and movement Wyatt and Billy represent, but once in their company, finds that much of what he has been told may not be true. A sort of individual caught between the generations.The film is dated, but that didn’t detract anything for me. The only scene I really didn’t care for was when Wyatt, Billy, Mary (Toni Basil), and Karen (Karen Black) drop acid in a Louisiana cemetery and proceed to trip for an extended period of time.Along with wonderful performances, much credit must go to the cinematographer, as the landscapes are beautiful, especially the wide shots of the western scenery. They are truly breathtaking. And the music used was exceptionally good, fitting each scene and helping to create the proper mood throughout the film.The movie presented here looks excellent, in anamorphic wide screen, and includes a commentary by Dennis Hopper. Also included is a wonderful ‘Making of’ featurette called Easy Rider: Shaking the Cage which really helps to illustrate all that went into making this film. The production, at time, often reflected the turbulent times of when the film was made, and helps to give more flavor to the movie, really enhancing the overall effect. All in all, Easy Rider is a wonderful slice of outsider Hollywood that captured the true essence of an exceptionally turbulent time in America.

Great quality conversion onto disc. An iconic film from over 50 years ago, but with cracking chopper motorbikes

This is well worth the (minor) investment to have a copy of one of the seminal works of American cinema. Born of naivete, made on an almost-impossibly short budget, filmed in actual locations and making use of pop-music stars as actors, actors as directors, directors as stuntmen, and real locals as (reluctant) actors, this may be the ultimate in independently-minded filmmaking.When I first saw bits of this on American TV in the 1970s, I dismissed it as a story about dope addicts. That was a very shortsighted (and inaccurate assessment. Seeing it now I recognise a very profound story about two almost-lost souls searching for something uplifting and good about America during the Vietnam-war draft era. Pay close attention to how Fonda admonishes Hopper for criticising the commune’s food– this is a guy with heart and compassion. By the time they get to Mardi Gras, all he wants is to be cradled in the arms of his (long-gone) mother, a woman or just Jesus– the LSD trip in the graveyard echoes with the Catholic rites and catechism reminding him that, for all his fruitless searching, he can never truly go home.The new ‘special edition’ includes ‘making-of’ footages and interviews that really enlighten the viewer as to how and why this was made. The best part of that is learning that the Louisiana rednecks and girls in the diner were actually locals, pressed into service as actors. Hopper asked them if they could play the parts of local people who hate hippies– no difficult task. Imagine how the actors and crew felt in putting a real shotgun into the hands of these guys later!Spoiler: the two motorcycles used for the principal characters were actually four: two were put into storage after the film and were subsequently stolen and two were left right where they ended up at the end of the film, being essentially junk by then. No-one has EVER been able to credibly claim that they have a Harley that was *actually* used in the making of ‘Easy Rider’.
