2001: A Space Odyssey |
1968 |
I saw this at old Carolina Theater in downtown Charlotte with my
Father on a Saturday afternoon, when it was first released. I didn't
understand it, but I loved it. My Father slept through it! This was
also one of the first times that I remember seeing hippies all
around. The hippies were all sitting in the first couple of rows and
some were even stretched out on the floor. Later on, I figured it
out... |

I saw this movie long before reading the
Lewis & Clark journals. When I did begin to read those journals,
much of the imagery in my mind was informed by this fine movie.

Though filled with tired renditions of the

this was a good movie... even if only for the images...

I was as influenced as any other young
teenager in the early 1970's by this film... by the images and music
before actually seeing the entire movie around 1972. I've watched
Easy Rider
at least once in each subsequent decade, and on the whole, it gets
dumber and dumber with each viewing... although many of the images
remain compelling. The image of riding across the land stuck deep in
my mind... |
