The Bike Riders, in my opinion, is a documentary that showcases a raw, honest glimpse of bike culture, and quite simply put, it is what it is. It’s what happened, and there isn’t anymore. Danny Lyon is a true-grit genius with a highly perceptive gift for seeing beyond the dark. He bravely immersed himself in bike culture when it was feared by outsiders, including the police. His recordings and striking photos invite us to experience a snapshot in time, capturing the dawn of bike gang culture from the golden era of good ol' boys/charming rebels to its unsettling decline into a more sinister world. Thank you, Mr. Lyon, for sharing the excitement, goof ball moments, and dangerous happenings, and for inspiring bike gang culture into an iconic era, helping clear the mud on the misunderstood biker lifestyle.

I keep hearing from people who find the movie "boring" and "not enough action" or "I thought it would be more 'Sons of Anarchy'," etc. I'm not sure the marketing team behind the movie did a good enough job preparing people for a character study film that's basically just people hanging out and having relationships, as the film takes place BEFORE the time when biker gangs got into serious crime. They advertised it as if it was basically "GoodFellas on bikes" and that's just not what it is. It's a fantastic movie and very much in the vein of mid-70's - early 80's character films. It's not "Fast & the Furious".

I watched the movie for what it was. But it wasn't really anything... it felt quite empty even tho it show'd us what it supposedly was back in the day. "Cool" guy acting with silent whispering conversations didn't sell anything.... to me it got so cringe after 20 minutes. Sure they played the cool part like they were told to... it just didn't fill the hollowness of the flick. At times it started to feel like a mockumentary against the people who lived it. But hey... not every movie is for everyone and I might have been overthinking about it.
@oldphart-zc3jz22 күн бұрын
@@juna61 You were overthinking it. Why would anyone expect depth from REAL LIFE? Life isn't deep or profound, it just is and that IS what "the day" really looked like. I was alive the. Life has no plot! Life has no plot armor. Life is hollow. What people do with/on motorcycles is just that and not some intense 24/7 all consuming drama. Movies are bullshit for the most part and the bullshit bath has conditioned viewers to expect UNreality so they get their dopamine escapist hit. T The movie was really a collection of snapshots anyone alive then recognizes, suitably compacted to fit the time slot. It may be the only "biker" movie that's effectively directed at real bikers.

The midwestern bikers had that real 1950s greaser look, as opposed to the west coast, where it was more of a hippy style.

Impressive that Lyon is 8 years older than me and this energetic! I'm a lifetime rider, but dirt not street. I was a teenager when these were taken and noticing even then that the "biker" types in Jr High and High School always wore jeans and vests and such...which were illegal in my school. Haha. Most of the women btw seemed to have giant 50s beehive hairdos. Outstanding stuff for early immersive journalism. I like the framing of the photos on many of the shots: out the window, fence in the foreground, etc.

They inherited the 1930s biker culture but that history didn't get recognized in recent pop culture so except for the serious it's ignored.

this is what i remember. this is why i started messing around with old bikes. because THEY WERE CHEAP!! the people were not as stereotyped as they are today. it was a poor guy's sport. fun! (by the way, the music was great; not the usual 'tough guy' cheese...)
