Description of this Easy Rider Film Poster
Easy Rider is a 1969 American feature film, cult film and road movie that depicts the biker lifestyle of the late 1960s. On May 8, 1969, Easy Rider was the official United States contribution to the Festival from Cannes. The first screening took place on July 14, 1969 in the United States and the film was released in cinemas in the Federal Republic of Germany on December 19, 1969.
After purchasing cocaine and smuggling it from Mexico to the United States in the batteries of their Scrambler motorcycles, Wyatt and Billy sell the drugs to a liaison officer. Wyatt hides the dollar bills wrapped in a pipe in the fuel tank of the scooter he just bought, which is painted with the United States flag. With their converted 1950s Harley-Davidson motorcycles, the two men travel to Arizona. In the evening, they are refused entry by the owner of a motel and must camp around a campfire.
They continue their journey east to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras carnival. Wyatt picks up a hitchhiking hippie, who Billy fears will discover the money in the gas tank while filling up. Instead, the stranger takes charge of refueling for free, and the trip takes them to a hippie community, with an excursion for an idyllic bath in hot springs.
Leaving the hippie community, they come across a parade that they follow. This is why they are arrested along the way by the police for “unauthorized participation in a parade” and thrown in prison. This is where George Hanson, a young alcoholic lawyer, vats his wine. Through his connections, Hanson manages to get them out of prison, after which they take him with them.
Continuing on their way, Wyatt, Billy and Hanson arrive in a rural town in Louisiana where they want to eat at a restaurant. On this occasion, the local girls flirt with the trio. But the male residents and even the sheriff defame them, suggesting that they will not reach the boundary of the town. They therefore leave the inn without having been served and camp in the wild. While sleeping in sleeping bags, they are attacked by villagers who beat them with baseball bats. George Hanson died instantly.
The next morning, Wyatt and Billy, slightly injured, go to New Orleans to a brothel recommended by Hanson. There, Wyatt has a presentiment of death in the face of a witticism, during which the final scene of the film, the violent death of the two Easy Riders, is already projected. They take two prostitutes to a cemetery, where taking LSD leads to a psychedelic trip. On the way back, Wyatt, resigned, declares around a campfire that they are "illegals", which arouses Billy's incomprehension. The next day, they continue driving on a country road and are overtaken by two "rednecks" in a pickup. The passenger verbally provokes Billy and threatens him with a gun. When Billy reacts by sticking out his middle finger, the passenger asks the "long-haired hippie" to get a haircut, then shoots him. Billy collapses, touched. Wyatt brakes and comes back to Billy. He covers him with his leather jacket and goes to get help. In the meantime, the pickup truck has turned around and is heading toward Wyatt. He is also shot at, the motorcycle falls and then explodes on the side of the road. The camera turns away and towards the sky.
