Easy Rider

Easy Rider Social Representations - From book 'Easy Rider - York Film Notes

Drugs - "An alarmed reaction was merited. Not because acid meant madness and breakdown, but because the underground pleasures of it and other drugs broke a major taboo"

"Many more like Billy and Wyatt made cannabis a more comfortable part of their way of life; dope as an enhancement of everyday living, not a pathway to nirvana. The smoking scenes in Easy rider provide some of its happiest moments."

Gender - " Easy Rider demonstrates a lack of interest in women and feminism more than misogyny, and indeed a minimal interest in sex, which appears much less of a lure to Billy and Wyatt than drugs and rock 'n' roll."
