Abstract
Americans are examined in several films which are
aiming at revealing thoughts and feelings. The different
realms of thought and areas of feeling are the departure
point of these essays. First, the American Dream as it
relates to searching for self in travel is examined in
"Isadora" and "The Midnight Cowboy." Second is violence
as a part of American or specifically human life in "The
Wild Bunch" and "Medium Cool." And third is the influence
and emergence of some of the ideas of the Underground filmmakers
in "Alice's Restaurant" and "Easy Rider." These
three essays constitute my ideas about films and some of my
feelings about America. That the two may complement each other is my perspective and to draw qualified logical
judgments is my aim.
