[00:00:36]>> IF YOU WANT.

[00:00:36]>> OH MY GOD.

[00:00:48]Hello you guys. Welcome back to Popcorn Roulette. It's Leah and today we are going to be watching Easy Rider. I'm really excited about this one today for many different reasons. Um, I know that it's Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, which I don't really know actually much about those two actors at all. Uh, I've heard the names a little bit. When I first heard Dennis Hopper, I was like, Stranger Things, so I kind of am thinking that that character maybe is an homage, too. So, we will find out, I guess. I'm excited to find out more about that. I know this is also Jack Nicholson, who I have seen in a couple of things, and apparently this is his first Oscar nomination. So, I'm very excited to see what kind of performance he's got to give in Easy Rider today.

[00:01:30]Um, I saw him recently in The Shining and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest with Nikki. Both amazing, amazing movies.

[00:01:39]I've seen The Shining before. It was my first time watching One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Both just wonderful performances from him. I also just recently uh watched him in as good as it gets.

[00:01:50]Also an amazing performance from him.

[00:01:52]Something completely different than what I expected. So, I really have no idea what to kind of like like what I'm expecting from him today, what kind of role he's going to be playing.

[00:01:59]Obviously, he's got his Jack Nicholson kind of vibe that he puts on things a little bit, but he's I feel like he's very versatile, so I'm excited to get into that with you guys. Um, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is also on Wind It Back. If you guys can't find it here on Popcorn Roulette, that is why.

[00:02:15]Definitely go check out me and Nikki's little channel over there if you haven't already. And soon we'll be watching Something's Got to Give and at this point it might even be out. So definitely go and try and find that. See if you can hunt it down. And yeah, I know that this movie is a kind of like basically like a 1970s masterpiece apparently. And I've actually got this book here called Easy Riders Raging Bulls. And it's basically about iconic 1970s cinema. um starting with Easy Rider, which I'm obviously gonna watch with you guys today, and ending with Raging Bull and kind of covering a lot of movies in that time period. And I did watch Raging Bull here on the channel with you guys. Also really good. It was Martin Martin Scorsesei, who I've also seen, Taxi Driver. Really, really amazing. Um and in that same kind of time period, I've watched a lot of Spielberg movies. uh duel Jaws, Close Encounters, uh really amazing. Also, I know that One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, I believe, is from that era as well. So, a lot of different types of movies from that like peace and time of cinema.

[00:03:23]So, if you guys have any more recommendations, those are the ones I've covered. I would love to cover some more. It's just such a unique I feel like, like I said, a unique time for cinema. like very very cool different ways of filming that I think inspired and has created a lot of how we film today. So really excited to get into more movies and kind of see I guess like why you know I think it's interesting that this book is called Easy Riders Raging Bulls because obviously it's everything in between those. But it's you know they picked these movies for a reason. So I'm very excited to see why Easy Riders is or Easy Rider is going to be you know like why it's such an iconic film. So, we're getting pretty much right into that now. As always, I have full watch alongs for you guys over on Patreon if you want to check that out.

[00:04:06]And like, subscribe, share. We really, really appreciate it over here. Going to get into the movie.

[00:04:19]It's my little bangs today, you guys.

[00:04:21]Sorry.

[00:04:31]That's a great opening shot. Just like this, the sound of the motorcycle reving and the two of them sitting there on the bench.

[00:04:45]Okay.

[00:04:51]Are we supposed to know what they're saying right now or is it purposely like not subtitled?

[00:05:01]Love the fit.

[00:05:08]What?

[00:05:15]The white like on the on the mustache and on his mouth and stuff. His nose.

[00:06:32]I'm loving all these like it's like long shots with very little dialogue so far. A lot of soundtrack. We're listening to planes, engines.

[00:07:09]his friend. He said, "No, you are staying out of the car."

[00:07:15]The subtitles just told me that the song that's playing is called the pusher.

[00:07:19]Like drug pusher. And so like I'm a pusher, Katie.

[00:07:26]So, are they selling the drugs? Like, obviously they just sold that batch, but they bought it from somebody else. Like, are they buying and sending it out or are they like transporting it for people? You know, like what's going on here?

[00:07:45]>> The money and the like what you h Interesting.

[00:07:57]So, he's hiding the money in a tube in I guess cuz it's so much money that'd be like suspicious most likely.

[00:08:18]Weird shot. That was crazy. Whiplash.

[00:08:28]Man, road tripping on bikes would be so difficult, I bet. Like, I bet it would be fun for a while, you know, because it's like, woo, we're on the open road on the bike, but you know, your butt and your back's got to start hurting.

[00:24:59]>> You got a helmet? Oh, I've got a helmet.

[00:25:03]A >> beauty >> if YOU WANT.

[00:25:05]>> OH MY GOD.

[00:25:08]This is so good. Look at him. He's having the time of his life back there.

[00:25:12]He's smiling so big. That's hilarious.

[00:25:16]What a good actor, man. I love him.

[00:25:21]The chin strap is awesome.

[00:25:26]Haha.

[00:25:28]Oh my god.

[00:25:35]>> Oh my god. I love all these like montages of them driving.

[00:25:47]>> Oh my god.

[00:25:52]What is he talking about yet?

[00:25:57]>> Okay. Yeah. Now we're getting a little more Wyoming, I think. Well, I wonder if they're even going to go through there.

[00:26:02]They're going to New Orleans.

[00:26:05]>> Well, old buddy, I never thought I'd ever see you again.

[00:26:08]>> Is that his like base or I mean his >> my mother of all people were treated. I can't understand that. She didn't want me to play.

[00:26:15]>> Yeah, football. Thank you.

[00:26:16]>> Was afraid I was going to get hurt. 12 years later, I find it on my pillow with a note pin next to it saying, "Save this for your son."

[00:26:26]>> Fire.

[00:26:27]>> Fire.

[00:26:29]This dude is so funny.

[00:26:31]>> Oh, no thanks. I got some storeboard right over here on my own.

[00:26:35]>> No, man. This is grass. You mean marijuana?

[00:26:39]>> He's like, >> "Lord have mercy." Is that what that is?

[00:26:42]>> He's like, "You smoke marijuana?" That's hilarious.

[00:26:45]>> Let me see that.

[00:26:48]Lol. I feel like he's just like really trying to relive his high school years.

[00:26:52]Look at the shirt. He's got everything going on here.

[00:26:54]>> Go ahead, George. Light it up.

[00:26:55]>> Oh, no, no, no, no. I couldn't do that.

[00:26:58]I mean, I've got enough problems with the with the booze and all. I mean, uh I can't afford to get hooked.

[00:27:03]>> Oh, you won't get hooked.

[00:27:05]>> Yeah, well, I know, but I mean it it it leads to harder stuff.

[00:27:10]>> He basically called him a [ __ ] >> But, uh you say it's all right.

[00:27:15]>> Yeah, it might even get you off the booze, man.

[00:27:17]Well, uh, all right then. Uh, h, how do I do it here?

[00:27:22]>> Getting somebody high for their first time out here with strangers in the woods is not a good idea. He's going to have a little panic attack. He's like, "Take me home. Take me home."

[00:27:31]>> Well, uh, that's that's got a real nice, uh, taste to it, though. I don't suppose it'll do me much good, though. I mean, I'm so used to the booze and everything.

[00:27:39]>> You've got to hold it in your lungs longer, George.

[00:27:44]>> And he's already drunk. I can't even give this man the spin so bad.

[00:27:49]>> Like the satellite that we saw the other night, right? And like it was just going right across the sky, man. And then whizzing right off, man. Flash.

[00:27:55]>> You're stoned out of your mind, man. Oh yeah, man. Hey, like I'm stoned, you know, man. But like, you know, I saw a satellite.

[00:28:02]>> And it was going across the sky.

[00:28:03]>> Oh, he's still hitting it. Oh my god.

[00:28:05]Oh, he's so done for.

[00:28:07]>> And whizzed off, man. And I saw it. That was a UFO beaming back at you.

[00:28:14]Me and Eric Heisman was down in Mexico two weeks ago. We seen 40 of flying in formation. They are people just like us from within our own solar system except that their society is more highly evolved. They are able to feed, clothe, house, and transport themselves equally and with no effort.

[00:28:39]>> Wow.

[00:28:41]I mean, if they're so smart, why don't they just reveal themselves to us, huh?

[00:28:44]And get it over with.

[00:28:45]>> Cause if they did, it would cause a general panic. Now, I mean, we still have leaders upon whom we rely for the release of this information. These leaders have decided to repress this information because of the tremendous shock that it would cause to our ant.

[00:29:02]>> This guy's a lawyer, too. That's funny.

[00:29:05]The result of this has been that the Venian have contacted people at all walks of life.

[00:29:14]>> Huh?

[00:29:14]>> How's your joint, George?

[00:29:16]>> Oh my. I believe it went out. I got to talking so much I clean forgot about uh went out.

[00:29:22]>> Well, save it. We'll do it tomorrow morning first thing, right? Gives you a whole new way of looking at the day.

[00:29:26]>> Mhm.

[00:29:29]>> Yes, I sure could use a little of that.

[00:29:34]Why they got to stand right next to each other while they piss?

[00:29:38]>> Great shot.

[00:29:46]>> I'm going start putting this song on anytime someone's holding too long.

[00:29:55]>> You've been hanging on to it.

[00:30:02]Mhm.

[00:30:05]>> Okay. So, we're getting into New Orleans now, right? This looks like New Orleans.

[00:30:10]Like outer New Orleans, maybe.

[00:30:22]Homemade purse.

[00:30:28]>> He's wearing the helmet still.

[00:30:30]>> What the hell is this? Troublemakers.

[00:30:33]>> You name it, I'll throw rocks at it.

[00:30:34]Sheriff, >> y'all check what just walked in.

[00:30:39]>> And they literally just got there.

[00:30:41]>> Red shirt with the suspenders. The >> lights are in establishment now, aren't we? What did you just say? I said, >> "Oh, I just can't believe. What are they doing here?"

[00:30:55]>> On his neck. Did they drive up on motorcycles?

[00:30:58]>> They know we're talking about they're looking over here.

[00:31:01]>> Hot bam.

[00:31:03]>> Tell you, I think I'll order kidneys cuz I left mine out there on the road somewhere.

[00:31:08]>> Kidneys. I >> like his tail when he's got on his head.

[00:31:11]And I like his eyes.

[00:31:12]>> They're right over there in the corner.

[00:31:15]>> They look like high schoolers. Look like a bunch of refugees from a gorilla loving.

[00:31:20]>> A gorilla couldn't love that.

[00:31:22]>> Made him up in one of those black winches out there.

[00:31:25]>> Oh, no. I don't know about that. And that's about as low as they come, I'll tell you.

[00:31:29]>> Oh, he's a biggie, >> man. They're green. Oh, >> that's [ __ ] up.

[00:31:34]>> Uh-huh. And you're color blind. I just >> acting like that's worse than all the other stuff they just said.

[00:31:39]>> I don't know. I thought most jails were built for humanity. And that >> that would be a a pleasure. Please.

[00:31:45]>> Big.

[00:31:45]>> They probably grew them. look like.

[00:31:47]>> You guys could never could never get a melanin queen and that's why you're bitter.

[00:31:52]>> Let's play.

[00:31:52]>> Let's play.

[00:31:53]>> Yeah, >> you certainly want to be nice.

[00:31:59]>> They got some fancy bikes out there.

[00:32:01]That's some Yankee Quiz. Check the flag on that bike. I still say they're not going to make the P.

[00:32:06]>> Hey, ride.

[00:32:08]>> You want a ride?

[00:32:10]>> You got a note from your mama?

[00:32:12]>> You got a note from your mama's.

[00:32:29]That was the girls were so cute. They're like, "We've got nothing like this around here. We've been waiting for an attractive man to walk in here.

[00:32:40]All we have is racist, ugly, assholes."

[00:32:43]Hey, we can't even get into like a second rate hotel. I mean, a second rate motel, you dig? They think we're going to cut their throat or something, man.

[00:32:51]Like, they're scared, man.

[00:32:52]>> Oh, they're not scared of you. They scared of what you represent to them.

[00:32:57]>> Mhm.

[00:32:58]>> All we represent to them, man, is somebody who needs a haircut.

[00:33:02]>> Oh, no. What you represent to them is freedom.

[00:33:05]>> Mhm.

[00:33:06]>> What the hell's wrong with freedom, man?

[00:33:07]That's what it's all about. Oh, yeah.

[00:33:09]That's right. That's what it's all about. All right. But talking about it, being it, that's two different things. I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace.

[00:33:20]>> Mhm.

[00:33:21]>> Oh yeah. They going to talk to you and talk to you and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's going to scare them.

[00:33:32]>> That's so real.

[00:33:33]>> I'm running scared. No, it makes them dangerous.

[00:33:37]>> Mhm. It's real. That's some real [ __ ] Oh my god. THIS GUY WITH THAT THING.

[00:33:43]>> SWAMP.

[00:33:44]>> SWAMP.

[00:33:48]>> RIGHT.

[00:33:48]>> How is he going to make his way back?

[00:33:51]>> You know what I used to do? What you used to do? Well, I'll tell you one thing I didn't used to do is talk to bulldogs in the middle.

[00:33:59]>> Mhm.

[00:34:09]coming to steal the bikes.

[00:34:20]>> Oh my god.

[00:34:21]>> Oh man.

[00:34:24]>> Are they just beating them up to beat him up?

[00:34:30]>> Oh dude, he is not getting up. That is insane.

[00:34:36]Oh my god.

[00:34:37]>> Oh god. What are we going to do with his stuff, man? Huh? Get it to his folks somehow.

[00:34:42]>> He never made it. That is so sad. Like he just wanted to go to Marty Gro.

[00:34:47]>> There's some money, man. His his driver's license, man. His nanny's his card, man. He ain't going to be using that.

[00:34:58]Oh, did they are they at that bar that Yeah, the car the card was like for the best bar in Marty Gro like the best hooker place or stripper place or whatever he said it was. I can't remember.

[00:35:10]>> No, really. We'll go there for one drink, man. Just one drink.

[00:35:15]>> That is so sad.

[00:35:17]>> Really? Seriously not. He would have wanted us to, man.

[00:35:20]>> He really would have actually though.

[00:35:21]But this is awful.

[00:35:25]Oh, that makes me so sad. And it's just like he just gave that entire speech about he just gave that whole speech about >> like make how it makes people dangerous.

[00:35:42]The kind of fear that they have.

[00:35:46]>> Look at those chicks, man. Look at those chicks, man.

[00:35:50]>> Is that his body on the side of the road? Like they burnt his body. It's awful. It's like they didn't even kill him. Some like it was probably like literally the cop did, you know?

[00:36:02]>> Hey, >> you mind if I take the door one minute?

[00:36:06]>> No, that's all right.

[00:36:08]>> I'm really from New York. All weird.

[00:36:13]>> You're a freak, aren't you?

[00:36:14]>> H.

[00:36:15]>> My name is Mary.

[00:36:16]>> You want a drink, Mary?

[00:36:17]>> No thanks.

[00:36:18]>> What's happening outside?

[00:36:20]>> What?

[00:36:20]>> You know, on the street. What's happening? Marty Gro.

[00:36:22]>> Oh, well, it's, you know, it's crowded and all that.

[00:36:25]>> Yeah.

[00:36:25]>> Mhm. Anyone drinking?

[00:36:28]>> Yeah. Marty Gro is really just, you know, like there's performances and that kind of cool stuff going on. It's like, but the people are what make the event.

[00:36:34]It's more about like the community that comes together. I'm pretty sure. I've never been. So, you know, obviously there might I think there's probably a lot more to it than that.

[00:36:41]>> Why don't you like me?

[00:36:42]>> What?

[00:36:42]>> Well, you paid for me, right?

[00:36:44]>> Well, that was um that was for my friend.

[00:36:47]>> Oh, I don't >> Why don't I buy you a drink?

[00:36:50]>> I don't drink. I've got an idea. Let's go outside.

[00:36:53]>> Yep.

[00:36:54]>> We'll all go outside to Marty Gro. Okay.

[00:36:58]>> Well, they made it.

[00:37:01]>> Yeah. See, it's about the people.

[00:37:20]Yeah, there's a lot like that. This movie is very telling about segregation and everything too. And just like the way that they treated black people, >> it's like they view them as so low cuz they're these hippie people and they view like color people and black people as even lower than that just because of the color of their skin. And it's like first of all, nobody's low. Everybody's just like human beings like they said trying to live freely.

[00:37:50]Ew, don't touch it.

[00:37:56]Yeah. Like the first time they made like it was somebody like phrased it as if it was a joke, but obviously it wasn't funny. It was like meant to be like a call out. And the first one I was like, "Okay, damn." You know, they're referencing the time, but like as the movie's gone and it's become a stronger and stronger point.

[00:38:11]>> What's that?

[00:38:13]What's that? Huh?

[00:38:14]>> Never mind. Just shut up and take it.

[00:38:17]>> Is it acid or something? What? Oh my god. What is it?

[00:38:21]>> What you What do you do with it?

[00:38:23]>> You guys are just going to give it to them. No explanation. It's crazy. What is it?

[00:38:27]>> Just shut up and take it, man. Put it on your tongue.

[00:38:29]>> And this girl doesn't even drink.

[00:38:34]>> Oh, that was hot. That was hot.

[00:38:37]I believe in God, Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

[00:38:43]>> Oh, and now she's drinking.

[00:38:44]>> Going up for the last time. For the last time, the last time.

[00:38:49]>> Was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day he arose again from the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost, >> the communion of saints, the forgiveness of >> as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end.

[00:39:08]>> Beautiful.

[00:39:08]>> I always want you to be beautiful.

[00:39:10]>> In my mind, I want you to be beautiful.

[00:39:13]>> No.

[00:39:14]>> Oh god, she's having like a bad trip.

[00:39:17]>> The Lord is with >> Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us s >> Oh my god.

[00:39:26]This is like the wrong place to be tripping on this. It's insane.

[00:39:33]>> Don't you dare.

[00:39:35]>> I can feel the outside, but I can't.

[00:39:38]>> What was that? I didn't like that.

[00:39:40]>> I'm dying. I'm going to die.

[00:39:44]I'm dead. Do you understand?

[00:39:51]>> Oh my god. Like, these girls are having the worst trip. I feel like why would you guys >> our daily bread and forgive us our trespass and you're such a fool mother and I hate you so much.

[00:40:06]>> What? We're just going TO TRANSITION OUT OF THAT?

[00:40:10]ARE THE GIRLS OKAY? LIKE Y'ALL JUST THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT WAS AND THEN THEY JUST HAD LIKE THE worst night of their lives. It looks like at least one of them. The other girl just kind of looked like she was like naked and cuddled up the whole time.

[00:40:24]Oh my god, that was not a good trip sequence. That was not Wow.

[00:40:31]>> Hey, we did it, man. We did it. We're rich, man.

[00:40:37]>> We're retired in Florida now, mister.

[00:40:39]>> You know, Billy, we blew it.

[00:40:41]>> What?

[00:40:42]>> That's what it's all about, man. I mean, like, you know, and then you go for the big money, man, and then you're free.

[00:40:47]You dig?

[00:40:48]>> We blew it.

[00:40:50]>> Good night, man.

[00:40:51]>> What? What? What does that mean?

[00:40:55]Just like that they did it all wrong or something like what does he mean?

[00:40:59]Really?

[00:41:05]>> Look at him again.

[00:41:06]>> Hold on a second. I'm going to scare the hell out of you out.

[00:41:14]Why don't you get a haircut?

[00:41:20]What happened?

[00:41:24]Billy.

[00:41:27]>> Oh my god. I'm going for help.

[00:41:29]>> I got him. I'm going to get him.

[00:41:32]>> We got to go back.

[00:41:35]>> We're ready now.

[00:41:48]Like they I thought they were saying they got to go back cuz they didn't mean to shoot him. Like they only meant to scare him. So they're like, "Damn, we actually shot him." But they were saying they got to go back to cover up.

[00:42:00]Dude.

[00:42:01]Oh my god.

[00:42:10]>> Wow.

[00:42:14]Oh my god. No. No.

[00:42:23]>> I don't really know what to say.

[00:42:25]Honestly, you guys, I'm like kind of upset and it didn't really give me much time to be upset. Um, oh, I guess I'm just going to be kind of short and concise here. Like I kind of feel like I need to process that. I got zero time to process that. That was really upsetting.

[00:42:41]Um, wow. I mean, that was an amazing movie. I can understand why it's so iconic. Jack Nicholson role, Jack Nicholson's role in it was wonderful.

[00:42:50]The other two main characters were amazing. I think it was I said the name earlier was maybe Dallas Hopper was one of them. Um, their actors I really I actually I don't believe I'd see them in anything. They both had slightly recognizable faces, but if I have seen them, it's not been in something where they're like big characters. Dennis Hopper and Antonio Mendoza. Uh their names came up on screen. Uh they did amazing. Literally like had me so attached to both of their characters and they didn't even talk that much. Like it was all through facial expressions and visuals and sounds as well. Um a lot of soundtheavy uh I think kind of carrying in this movie. It carries a lot of weight, I would say, the sounds and they very purposely put them in there and they talked about them even sometimes or zoomed in on things. They mentioned the bullfrogs and they had them like really loud in that scene whereas like most movies would kind of either make something like that really quiet or cut it out a little bit um cuz it's taken away from the scene whereas here it was like me the scene was almost like wrapped around the sound in many ways.

[00:43:52]Um, and Jack Nicholson's character, you know, he gave that entire speech about like your freedom. It scares them and they're not afraid of you. It scares them in a way that they're afraid of who you could become and what you could do that they can't do. It scares them in a way that makes them dangerous. And then for him to die that same night after his mother just gave him his helmet and said like, "This will be for your son.

[00:44:14]Obviously, it's not going to be for his son." And then like you can look at the flip side of that where it's like, you know, obviously he said he'd went to Mexico and stuff. So you can assume like he traveled a little bit, but he said he'd wanted to go to Marty Gigra and he tried like three different times um and never really had it made it past the state line. And it's just it's so sad to see him try and fulfill that dream another time. And not only did he not make it to Marty Girl, but it ended so tragically for him. Um I think our characters met a lot of different people along the way and they kind of slowly eased us into the hate that's in this world. you know, starting with the motel sign being like all of a sudden no vacancy and stuff like starting kind of easy and light. Um, or like kind of, you know, we met the ranchers and the ranchers were so nice and like so kind to them and stuff, but you could kind of feel the difference between them and like the other people they met that actually liked them, if that makes sense. You know, you could tell that they were reserving judgments about them. Even just the LA, you know, like or kind of like, you know, I said at one point I was going to go to California when I was young. like basically being like those are childish like you know aspirations or whatever you got to grow up at some point kind of thing. So, I feel like they really eased us into the whole theme of the movie by starting us light. And it just got heavier and heavier as it went on to the way that like, you know, the cops in the jail were talking before like they kind of, you know, Jack Nicholson's character who is a lawyer like came along. And then it got I think it really hit a peak um at the point when they were in the diner and you could just the way that those guys were talking was I honestly was kind of like I didn't even know how to react. Like obviously like people used to talk like that all the time. I'm sure there are people out there who still do and I don't think I won't say that but I don't think they have a right to be here. And um you know I think that there are a lot of people especially in this time and with not only like just afraid of the freedom but also it's like the racism and just the separation of classes and all of it was so prevalent in the movie. And I feel like once they really got more into the South, and that's actually what it is, you know, and that was a really smart way of doing it. They were driving mostly in Colorado, like you know, Midwest, and then they kind of made their way. Well, I guess it's not really Midwest.

[00:46:26]Colorado's further up. Cut that out. Cut that out. I don't know geography like that. But my point is is that like they were not near the south. They were up in the map. And as they made their way closer and closer to the south, things got more and more uncomfortable, you know, and like they kind of had like that culty guy. He gave me weird vibes, but it's like they were very nice to them. They treated them well, you know, and then when they got um to New Orleans that is deep south as well still, but it was a bit of a different vibe. You could tell that the people that had collected there and were there were a little bit, you know, more open it seemed, especially at least at Marty Grath time.

[00:47:04]you're going to have a lot of different people from walks of life there. Um, what I find so interesting is him saying we blew it after cuz it's like you did experience Smarty Girl, you did go do what you had to do. I feel like they had a really bad trip that night. So, I wonder if maybe kind of that was playing into that like basically saying like, you know, we made it there, we did the thing and we didn't even have fun or at least he didn't have fun. So he's like, "We blew it, you know, and like so I would love a little context or like what you guys kind of inferred from that scene because I thought that line was so um specific and intense." Um the whole like tripping in the graveyard scene was insane. It was almost hard to watch cuz it was so kind of like flashy with the scenes and like the the sounds for as long like I'd have to I honestly want to go back and check how long like from start to finish that scene is cuz the noises while you're sitting there are like uncomfortable after a little while like she's crying and she's like I need to get out of here. I need to get out of here. And you're like oh my god. And then it flashes to them having sex and at first she was saying don't you dare which was weird but then it was like another flash and she was enjoying it and I was just like what is going on? on like it does not seem like anyone is like having a good time. That one girl was just naked and like laying in the grave with him basically or like the tomb thing. They met a lot of different women, did a lot of different things.

[00:48:20]They met a lot of different people and you know they were kind pretty much everywhere they went. what happened to the end in the end is awful and you know it's kind of crazy because he pulled out his gun or whatever he was like you let's scare him a little bit and so I kind of assumed he was going to shoot by him you know but when he actually shot him and then they were like oh well we better go back I thought and I already said this but I just I assumed they were going back not even to check on him because they care but to be like oh [ __ ] we shot a guy we don't want to get in trouble I should have known that they were going to shoot him too you know like they're like no we got to get rid of the witness that is you you know, just heinous, heinous. And I can't believe the movie just cut to end like that. And I think it's such a good movie cuz I mean, soundtrack, acting, lighting, shots, uh, everything was amazing. Um, the storytelling ability was amazing. Um, and it's, you know, such a good movie cuz it just one it talks about this walk of life and like one the way people treat you, the way you treat people. Um, what people are afraid of and what they will do because of fear. Uh people don't like to be afraid and they will do some really intense things when they deem something um you know unworthy or or something that could when they deem something threatening is what I'm looking for. If they see you as threatening in whatever way, shape or form, people will really take to extremes, especially when most of the world sees you that way and they can justify their actions because of how others are around them. And I really feel like this movie did such an amazing job not only showcasing that but showcasing that in a way that felt easy to watch until the end of course. Um you know like throughout most of it it's just these two guys on their journey and I think it was just I I wouldn't say exactly relatable. You know there are relatable moments and things that they do that you're like I've done that or I've been there you know that that kind of thing or I have that same sense of like that's kind of how my brain works or whatever you know but as far as like you know they're on this crazy road trip. They're out there being the most free they can, living the most life they can. So, you know, relatable exactly isn't the right word. It was, like I said, kind of an easy watch, easy rider.

[00:50:18]Um, just these, you know, guys on the road being friends and we're watching them meet all these different people and have these different experience like the nude swimming scene and all the beautiful shots. And it's like you're really just watching two best friends, two nomads making their way to a place they've always wanted to go to and stopping along the way. And it just it's a tragic ending, but up until that point, up until more the end of the movie, I would say, especially, like I said, I feel like that diner scene was a really big kind of turning point in the movie. It just felt like an easy watch.

[00:50:48]It felt like you're watching a road trip, you know? Obviously, there was a lot of undertones and things already going on and, you know, some intense moments here and there, but it felt it was an easy watch as far as like it almost felt good vibes. like they would have bad moments, but the way that they handled those moments and the way they just kind of moved on and their outlook on like life, it just made you feel like good vibes, like hippie movie kind of thing. And then like it had such a deeper meaning, such a deeper kind of punch in the gut at the end. Like obviously I already knew what the movie was about by the time we got to that point, like when Jack Nicholson's character died. Honestly, before that, like I said, like I feel like this movie, it becomes pretty clear what what the point of it is as you're going, but I just didn't know they were going to really go for the Oh, I'm not going to say that. That was an accidental like I was going to say go for the kill, but that's not what that's inappropriate here. Um, I did not know that the writers were really going to, like I said, kind of get you and punch you in the gut there and kill off both of our two main characters within the last like one second of the movie and other three minutes of the movie. Um, I did I just didn't I didn't see that coming, honestly. So, I I knew what the movie was about. I knew it was going to get a little bit deep and dark there, and it already had gotten kind of like intense and serious and awful in certain moments, but like to have it just end that way in such a blink of an eye. And that's exactly how it happens to people like that, you know? Anybody that people are afraid of change something that threatens their way of being, even if they know that it's wrong, you know, even if they know that it's wrong. So amazing movie, hard watch at the end there, but in general a beautiful film that you know for the first I feel like while I love it, it's almost calming in many ways and like I said, lots of scenery and pretty shots and yeah and good connection, human connection. So I hope you guys enjoyed watching with me today and yeah, I will see you next time. Bye.
