This video seems representative of a short time in our history where a few rebelled against the buttoned down world they lived in and used this as an excuse to experiment with drugs and alternative life styles. This was known as "flower power" in San Fransisco and the drug culture in California Etc. You may disagree with what the characters are doing but still find it interesting to watch. The three main characters are brought to life in a most excellent way by Fonda, Nicholson and Hopper who, it is rumored, were really using drugs during the filming of this movie.
