Erik rented Easy Rider and I am NOT going to recommend this movie. SO boring!! Man a movie from the 60's moves reallllyyyyy slow.Easy Rider is a 1969 American road movie written by Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Terry Southern, produced by Fonda and directed by Hopper. It tells the story of two bikers (played by Fonda and Hopper) who travel through the American Southwest and South with the aim of achieving freedom.
A landmark counterculture film,[2] and a "touchstone for a generation" that "captured the national imagination",[3] Easy Rider explores the societal landscape, issues, and tensions in the United States during the 1960s, such as the rise and fall of the hippie movement, drug use, and communal lifestyle. Easy Rider is famous for its use of real drugs in its portrayal of marijuana and other substances.
Bottom line - BORING. I dont care if it's a classic.
Rachel Getting Married. One word to describe this movie....heavy. This is a movie that takes place over a few days. Kim gets out of rehab(for one of the numerous times she's been) just in time for her sister's, Rachel, wedding. Set in Connecticut, this family has been through a lot including Kim in multiple rehabs, the young son dying, the parents divorce, and now Rachel getting married. The days of the wedding just cannot be peaceful since Kim is home talking about recovery, making amends, and bringing up the past. The family is clearly still hurting over a lot of things happening in the past few years. All of the relationships in this film are very strained but the one that might be the most important, between the sisters, shows promise - no matter how many times they have hurt one another.
Anne Hathaway was nominated for an Oscar for this film & I can definitely see why. Recommend - but have a few drinks while you watch it so you don't get depressed!
