The text should be very long. Here the given reviews: ['"Freedom\'s Just Another Word For Nothing Left To Lose," wrote Kris Kristofferson (and sang Janis Joplin) in his famous plaint "Me and Bobby McGee," a song which fits the ethos of this film perfectly. What were Hopper and Fonda trying to say with this film? I don\'t think we can reliably know their intentions at this late stage of the game. While both Hopper and Fonda are still with us (though co-writer Terry Southern is not), so much time has gone by, and so many drugs have been consumed, that perhaps the crystalline purity of their original artistic vision has been, let us say, diluted, to at least some extent, I\'m sure you\'ll agree. My view is that a lot of the good that ended up happening in this film was a result of pure serendipity and luck. Am I saying that Fonda and Hopper have no talent? No way. But here are some facts: FACT: Hopper, Fonda and Nicholson were actually smoking pot in the film where they are shown smoking pot. FACT: there was no script for the film, only a short outline. FACT: Much of the dialog was improvised. FACT: Much of the cinematography was improvised. FACT: Probably the most important scene in the film, the final campfire scene, was made up on the spot. When you\'re walking a creative tightrope like that, the odds are good that you\'ll end up with garbage. Fortunately for them (and for us, the viewers), it didn\'t turn out that way. They ended up creating the ultimate commentary on America, both in the 1960\'s, and, in a certain way, for all times. What this film says is that the Sixties Generation was a fraud. They said they would be different. They said at their beginning that they were throwing out all the trappings and evils of our modern society, going back to the land, doing something honest, pursuing freedom. But, after all, they didn\'t reject society. They were just as greedy and selfish as everyone else, in spite of their protestations to the contrary. Another famous film line comes into my mind: "I coulda been somebody, I coulda been a contender." The Sixties generation could have done something important. But, according to Fonda\'s character, "We blew it." He and Hopper\'s character stand in for the entire counterculture. Wyatt and Billy go out into the world on their quest, and prove themselves to be just as greedy and materialistic as the mainstream society they reject. Fonda throws away his watch, but he also goes out and buys some "dream machine" and a silly leather costume, indulging in his own version of materialism: hot bikes, good drugs and the open road, with an occasional hooker on the side. The dangers of freedom: you\'re chasing after something that doesn\'t even exist. And this chase caused their downfall, (and the counterculture they represent) sending them to their doom just as clearly as those prejudiced Rednecks they encountered on their journey. A journey to the dark side of the American dream.'] Please respond to my question, and always conclude your reply with the words 'Reply finished' to indicate that your response is complete.
