\"Easy1\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Easy Rider, le film, a eu 40 ans cette ann\u00e9e. Sorti en 1969 alors que le mouvement hippie atteignait des sommets, la ballade de Wyatt (Peter Fonda) et Billy (Denis Hopper), plut\u00f4t qu\u2019une apologie d\u2019une culture devenue immens\u00e9ment populaire, sera en fait la d\u00e9monstration de la faillite d\u2019un r\u00eave dont la course fut interrompue par la rencontre brutale avec une Am\u00e9rique r\u00e9ticente au changement.<\/p>\n

Il y aurait donc beaucoup \u00e0 dire sur ce film (et beaucoup a \u00e9t\u00e9 dit comme cette excellente monographie<\/a> du Britannique Lee Hill), comme sur le contexte politique et social de l\u2019\u00e9poque (Nixon, Apollo 11, le Vietnam), l\u2019utilisation de la chanson populaire, la cin\u00e9matographie du Hongrois Laszlo Kovacs<\/a>, la pr\u00e9sence de Jack Nicholson dans une version na\u00efve du personnage, beaucoup plus inqui\u00e9tant, qu\u2019il deviendra par la suite, et l\u2019influence marquante et imm\u00e9diate sur le cin\u00e9ma mondial (sans Easy Rider, Antonioni<\/a> aurait-il fait le m\u00eame Zabriskie Point avec son clone de Peter Fonda, ni le m\u00eame Profession reporter, cette fois-ci avec le vrai Jack Nicholson?).
\u00c0 l\u2019\u00e9poque, le film de motos \u00e9tait un sous-genre tr\u00e8s populaire, Laszlo Kovacs et Jack Nicholson venaient de faire ensemble une s\u00e9rie B, \u00ab Hells Angels on Wheels \u00bb avant de se retrouver sur Easy Rider, et Marlon Brando dans \u00ab The Wild One \u00bb toujours dans la conscience collective m\u00eame 15 ans plus tard.
Voulant faire un western moderne, le choix de la moto pour remplacer le cheval allait de soi.
La communaut\u00e9 noire, pas tr\u00e8s pr\u00e9sente dans les westerns, s\u2019\u00e9tait rapidement et passionn\u00e9ment \u00e9prise d\u2019une passion pour la moto, et au milieu des ann\u00e9es 60, elle se l\u2019\u00e9tait appropri\u00e9 et la modifiait \u00e0 son image. Le style chopper, selon certains historiens et commentateurs, lui serait redevable en grande partie, mais quoi qu\u2019il en soit, c\u2019est un noir, Ben Hardy, qui mettra au monde une des motos les plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bres qui soient.
Benny Hardy \u00e9tait r\u00e9put\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque pour ses modifications audacieuses et le soin qu\u2019il apportait \u00e0 son travail. Ainsi, lorsque la commande pour 2 choppers au style radical, mais au budget serr\u00e9 lui fut donn\u00e9e, il se tourna vers le classique de l\u2019\u00e9poque, le Harley-Davidson HydraGlide. Il acquit \u00e0 l\u2019encan 4 machines du d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 50 ayant servi dans la police pour 500 dollars. Billy, le chopper de Dennis Hopper, est moins radical que Captain America<\/a>, mais certains d\u00e9tails comme le guidon droit (drag bar) font mouche et imposent le s\u00e9rieux et la qualit\u00e9 du travail du constructeur.<\/p>\n

\"Easy3\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Billy et Captain America furent construits chacun en deux exemplaires, pour ne pas ralentir la production en cas de bris m\u00e9canique. Un des deux Captain America est d\u00e9truit dans la derni\u00e8re s\u00e9quence du film, et les trois autres furent vol\u00e9s dans l\u2019entrep\u00f4t o\u00f9 ils \u00e9taient remis\u00e9s \u00e0 la fin du tournage. D\u00e9mantel\u00e9s pour \u00eatre revendu \u00e0 la pi\u00e8ce, ce n\u2019est qu\u2019apr\u00e8s un travail de moine par Dan Haggerty qu\u2019un Captain America put \u00eatre restaur\u00e9 et expos\u00e9 pour l\u2019ic\u00f4ne qu\u2019il \u00e9tait devenu.
Easy Rider fut un classique instantan\u00e9ment, et m\u00eame si des hippies sur des choppers ne sont plus tr\u00e8s actuels, le film r\u00e9ussit \u00e0 conserver intacte toute sa pertinence, l\u2019\u00e2ge n\u2019y fera rien, ses 40 ans le prouve.<\/p>\n
