this really be the best road movie i have ever see . i can almost see the folk in the drive in wait for the explosion and wonder what they sit through . this film be so much more than just a fun car movie . it be well than easy rider because it be not encumber by all the hippie platitudes that really do not age well and because easy rider be constantly tell you what it be about while two lane blacktop show you rather than tell you . it be and on the one hand and a meditation on freedom and it drawback . the driver and the mechanic be free but they be not happy . that be the price of their freedom . they trade comfort and human connection for freedom . on the other hand be the value of truth . the driver and mechanic know nothing but truth . they find a sort of comfort in the fact that their life be simple and true . gto and however and lie to everyone . his whole persona and his car be all a lie . the only time he seem to be tell the truth be when he be with the driver and in the 55 and that be the one time someone tell him to shut up . he go on with his lie even incorporate the real truth he ever come in contact with into his lie in the end . i guess i love this movie because it tell me a story in a way that only film can . it show me thing rather than tell me and that can truly be say of so few film .
