Easy Rider (1969) by Dennis Hopper, Clip: Wyatt and Billy campfire scene - Peter Fonda: ’We blew it’

The Image: Wyatt (Fonda) sees and understands what Billy does not - that the so-called ’Counterculture’ is actually no better than the America they are rebelling against; that they are no better than the people they are fighting against. They sold our for a bit of easy drugs money. George is dead, yet Billy (Dennis Hopper) is already revelling in his future dreams of material ecstasy with the proceedings. It’s all bulls* Dream is over. Plus, don’t forget all those wild jump cuts flicking backwards and forwards in time. Psychedelic. This is good stuff, folks! But of course the final splurge of adrenalin as they zoom past that “Early Times“ rest sign (’Swing a Little’) and off in to the sunset is the prelude to the final horror...
