Description
[Machine Translation] Tomorrow is not in sight! A young man who refuses to accept the human heart aims for an endless horizon. A line that cannot be crossed. The black crack in America! The freedom that "Easy Rider" won was lost with "Disconnection. The "disconnection" is both the beginning and the end of the 70's. After Easy Rider ('69) became a big hit, the major studios were in a difficult situation due to the slump of conventional blockbusters, and Universal Pictures, together with Peter Fonda's The Wandering Cowboy ('71) and Dennis Hopper's The Last Movie ('71), began to make films for young people as a way to revive their careers. This ambitious film was a revival project for the youth market. This was the first major studio film directed by Monte Hellman, who until then had been a student of Roger Corman, the king of B-movies. The film stars two rock musicians, James Taylor, a singer-songwriter at the height of his popularity at the time, and Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys, and Warren Oates gives a superb performance. Laurie Bird, a newcomer at the time, was chosen to play the role of The Girl, and Hellman got the idea for the details of The Girl from her. Bird later committed suicide in 1979, and Hellman dedicated his latest film, "The Endless Road" (2011), to her. The film also features footage of the legendary street racing organization Street Racers Inc. and has attracted fans as a film that captures the true essence of American motor culture. One of the three '55 Chevys used in the filming was later painted black and appeared in American Graffiti ('73), and the other was used in Trans Am 7000 ('77) as the overdub vehicle for the Trans Am's exhaust note. --The Driver and the Mechanic are driving a '55 Chevy, tuned for racing, toward the southeast with the money they made from a late-night street race. They only stop for food, fuel, and car maintenance. They pick up a girl from a diner on the way, put her in the back seat, and drive away in silence. At a gas station, they encounter a Pontiac GTO, and the two cars decide to race each other to Washington, D.C. in a long-distance race for the pink slip...
