Freedom

"George Hanson: You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I can't understand what's gone wrong with it.

Billy: Man, everybody got chicken, that's what happened. Hey, we can't even get into like, a second-rate hotel, I mean, a second-rate motel, you dig? They think we're gonna cut their throat or somethin'. They're scared, man.

George Hanson: They're not scared of you. They're scared of what you represent to 'em.

Billy: Hey, man. All we represent to them, man, is somebody who needs a haircut.

George Hanson: Oh, no. What you represent to them is freedom.

Billy: What the hell is wrong with freedom? That's what it's all about.

George Hanson: Oh, yeah, that's right. That's what's it's all about, all right. But talkin' about it and bein' it, that's two different things. I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Of course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free, 'cause then they're gonna get real busy killin' and maimin' to prove to you that they are. Oh, yeah, they're gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em.

Billy: Well, it don't make 'em runnin' scared.

George Hanson: No, it makes 'em dangerous."


Jack Nicholson si Dennis Hopper in filmul "Easy rider" vorbind despre masa populatiei in SUA si cum erau perceputi hipiotii/rockerii si motociclistii pletosi la sfarsitul anilor '60.

Un film de nota 10 despre libertate, exprimare si dobitocimea oamenilor de rand ce nu intelegeau pletele, calatoritul pe motocicleta si noncoformisimul anilor '60.

se potriveste unpic cu ce s-a intamplat si pe la noi in era comunista, in anii '90 (mineriadele)....si poate inca se intampla.
