"The Trip" - 1967

199.80.70.125

Saw this film at my local drive-in as a teenager, directed by Roger
Corman, written by Jack Nicholson, main actors were Peter Fonda,
Bruce Dern and Dennis Hopper. Evidently "The Trip" was an exploration into the LSD experience which figured so prominently in
the 1960 revolutionary period. LSD, as promulgated by Timothy
Leary, was the way to overthrow oppressive social programming forced
on the individual from birth: "Tune in, turn on and drop out".
From what I can tell, the seeds of anti-establishmentarism as a cultural
movement began in the 1950s with movies as "The Wild One" starring
Marlon Brando and Lee Marvin; "Rebel Without A Cause" with James
Dean, Sal Mineo, Natalie Wood and Dennis Hopper; literature from
The Beats with Ferlingehitti, Burroughs, Kerouac and Ginsberg; rock
n' roll with Elvis Presley and others; and the racial rumblings of
oppressed blacks.
Peter Fonda in particular was involved in anti-establishment films of
the 60's: "The Wild Angels" -1966; "The Trip"-1967 and "Easy Rider"-
1969. - AH
