*heavy sigh* For my Film class, I've been watching a lot of movies and writing in depth critiques of them. I just got done watching Easy Rider. Now, I've heard this touted as a phenomenal piece of film work. I...ugh. I disliked it. The characters, while believable, were impossible to relate to. However, the reason on that might be that I'm living in the 21st century while this movie was made in 1969. All the same, the characters are hard to relate with. The plot is paperthin and the underlying themes of individual freedom and mass disapproval of people that exist slightly beyond the norm, while there, are shallow and develop only through blatantly obvious points and character dialogue.
The editing makes my eyes hurt. The screen cuts are quick and transition poorly. As for that same sort of business, the Acid scene is overly long and contributes very little. Yeah, the guys are stoners. Yeah, the whores are...well, whores. But having them trip out on acid for five minutes of a ninety minute film is overkill.

Caleidah Lt. Brookman Some movies age well with time, others don't. Though the expectations one has before seeing a movie can also do a lot to shape a final verdict. Easy Rider might not be a great movie, despite the stellar cast, but it is a classic nonetheless, if only for the barriers it broke with some of the stuff handled there. And it's another one of those vague studies of the American Dream, deep stuff man. 3nodding Yeah. As I'm poring over it again, there are some things really jumping out to inform the themes I had already spotted (perversion of the 'American Dream,' changing times, etc.). Two great quotes: "This used to be a hell of a good country." and "If God did not exist, it be necessary to invent him." "We're rich, Wyatt. We did it, man"
"We blew it."

Caleidah GamerChik240 the vultures speak like the beatles, Shere Kan is a british royalty lilt to it... and @ Cal I have no idea if that supose to mean something to me? and what bad about jive? I thought it made them look more fun loving and carefree as oppose to the tigers who thinks he should rule the jungle? and no I'm not being saracastic
Rudyard Kipling was indeed a racist. He's the one that wrote the actual book.
As far as it goes, though, I have to agree with GamerChik on this matter. The accents were all spread around and there were lots of white people that spoke in the same way as King Louie (an intentional shot at Louie Armstrong). It was just aimed at being swinger-speak. As far as I know it, I think King Louie was voiced by a white guy... Politely put black people are often compared to monkeys amongst racists. All animals in the movie speak with an english accent or something along those lines. Louie and his cohorts speak jive, something usually associated with black people.
Seeing as this movie is from the good old racist 50's I think that Disney just wanted to pay homage to Kipling and his notions of the so-called "White Man's Burden" talk2hand
