Easy Riders, Raging Bulls

easy riders, raging bulls is a 2003 documentary based on the bestselling book of the same name (which, incidentally, i remember being released when i worked in books). i was extremely interested in seeing the evolution of american cinema in the 70s, and how its roots are actually in the french new wave. i became intrigued with the start of the careers of such powerhouses as george lucas, francis ford coppola, martin scorcese, and steven spielberg, and also found it amazing how so many of these film geek buddies found friendship and success at the same approximate time, via similar challenges and struggles with the hollywood system. i felt inspired after watching this to see more ofhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif the films this documentary metions, although ironically, i still can't bring myself to have any desire to watch either films from the title! i found this to be extremely enjoyable and enlightening, particularly to anyone with even a passing interest in the history of film.
