Released Nearly 50 Years Movie Easy Rider Questio

1. List at least five things
   in the first 10 minutes that seem to be the opposite of what you might
   see in a mainstream movie. (Hint: here’s one. The movie begins in a
   different language).
2. Talk about the pace of the film in the
   first half hour. What do you like – or not – about the pace. No time
   stamp needed. No answer is wrong, as long as you describe with some
   detail.
3. There’s a circular long take in the film (it’s around 32
   minutes into the film) when the man prays at the commune before they
   eat (not the family at the lunch table earlier). Explain why you think
   the director Dennis Hopper used a long take and how does it make you
   feel? No time stamp needed.
4. The film uses non–actors in the café
   scene where the men criticize the lead characters, while the young
   ladies express interest in them. Do you think using non-actors is
   effective or not? Why? No time stamp needed.
5. There’s a flash
   forward in the film, which is when the film quickly visually alludes to
   something that hasn’t happened yet. See if you can find it (you may need
   to go back after the film), and what do you think about its use?
6. The
   film tries to use technological means to convey an LSD experience. What
   do they do (time stamp it) and do you think it’s effective? Why or why
   not?
7. DISCUSSION:”Easy Rider” was a wildly successful film when
   it was released nearly 50 years ago. Do you think the film would be
   successful if released today? Why or why not? If you think not, then in
   what ways would it need to change to be successful.Also, name your
   favorite part of the movie and why? And why overall you liked, or did’t
   like, the film. Answer in 150-200 words.
