Born to be wild

With the death of Dennis Hopper about 13 months ago I decided to watch the film that probably kick started his career: Easy Rider, another film about eh American Dream and how it has changed over the years into something unrecognizable. It's got a few particular moments in it that don't really make any sense, especially the acid trip scene towards the end but for the most part I enjoyed it, the first half was a little slow, but as soon as Jack Nicholson turns up the film starts moving at a decent pace and we start to get some mildly philisophical moments, although because I didn't grow up in the US the impact and message of the film has been slightly lost on me.
