For The Wages Of Sin Is Death
“The joke is this: Easy Rider is a CONSERVATIVE movie. It is not “nihilistic” and “chaotic.” Not only does this movie celebrate family values, it celebrates traditional family values. But even more than that, Easy Rider argues for the enduring strength and power of faith in God as it explicitly rejects hedonism, atheism, and nihilism.” (via jfxgillis)
UPDATE: What do the The Sopranos finale and Easy Rider have in common? (hint: That he not busy being born / Is busy dying.)
true dat!
Wellllll, I’m not sure I agree that I’m “too simplistic,” but I’m thrilled at the link. Thank you, sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
dylan! sopranos (most likely david chase) placed a lot of thought into music and symbolism here and there…


echoing the comments re: dylan and kubrick, its too simplistic to look at movies as being conservative or liberal.
