Introduction

1001 movies you must see before you die. Must I? Let's see.

My name is Dagmar and I am from Czech Republic. I have a bachelor's degree in screenwriting. I study movies. I watch movies. I write about movies. I kind of mention movies a lot. I even cross stitch things I like in movies. My views on cinema could be described as peculiar. My views on the "1001 movies" list as complicated. It happens a lot that I get the feeling it wasn't that necessary to see some particular movies. Sometimes I'm really grateful I saw them. And there are also times when I don't watch any new movies for six months straight. And they keep adding new movies every damn year so I might have to never die to watch them all.

What's the score right now?
606/1245 - That's 639 left to see.
I started this experiment on July 3rd 2009 and the latest update was made on April 19th 2023.

Easy Rider (1969)

USA
directed by: Dennis Hopper
written by: Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, Terry Southern
starring: Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson
comment: 4th June, 2017

This movie seems mute to me. And I find it odd because emptied narration usually speaks to my heart. The movies my heart loves are seemingly empty and uneventful and that means something. This movie is empty and aimless and I see nothing behind the curtain. It's possible that my favourite creators wouldn't be able to make their art without seeing Easy Rider first. But I feel nothing watching it. This whole creation seems so random. It feels like the only value it holds is for those who made it because they lived through it. I have to quote an unspecified fictional character's comment about porn: "When I am not the one doing it, I don't see how I could enjoy it."
