I don't think Mr. Hopper understood that. And to me the movie was trite.
John,
I agree that Mr. Hopper was full of something like tripe. When I first saw the movie I did not have the life context to know trite from buncum. The movie I think is important for its cultural context more than quality of filmography. As to those guys, stupid is stupid, and I think Mr. Hopper may have been aware of that. All the grass consummed in the movie, the DVD "making of the movie" says is real. They don't say anything about the mescaline in the graveyard. I've been looking for James Dean DVD's, and settled on Easy Rider because it was available.
