Easy Rider

"Got my own world to live through and I ain't gunna copy you"
This line is in a song that plays when they're riding their motorcycles.

This line describes the boys perfectly. They take smoke and take drugs throughout the movie to get away to their own world. They see the world in a different light when they're high. They do what they choose to do and when they want to do it. They don't live for anyone else or to abide by anyone else's rules. They just ride on their motorcycles picking up who ever they want and see the country. Even the place, Mardi Gras, that they ended up in is a place where people go to escape.

Why did those men come and beat them up when they were asleep?

    I was really confused with the movie at first. I thought a movie should have a plot, a climax, or something dramatic. But this movie was about two/three guys traveling around America, getting high, and hallucinating into their own world. In this way, they escaped from reality and the norm of society. This is the definition of road trip that I had in mind while watching the movie.

    Why did they just die like that in the end?
