That's a good story if we'll watch as a separate thing. In reality Johny survived the shot, was active in the MC for some time, then he started another chapter and eventually left the club. I've seen photo of his "colors". He passed away in 2018, as far as I know. Benny became the book and movie main character only because the story was taken from his wife mostly... Katy passed away, as far as I know, not so long time ago. Benny is still alive and not active in the MC for a loooong time now. He contacted the movie crew and confirmed, that there is only one picture of him in the book - view from the back at the traffic light. It's not him at the main picture next to pool table. There are huge number of additional photos that were not included in the book for some reason. Many of them are avaliable in the Internet. Once again - movie is nice as a separate lovestory of Katy and Benny with the MC in the background.

If Johnny started that club and a chapter of his club got started in Milwaukee how the hell did the kid and his crew join with out Johnny's knowledge? That should by all rights been voted on and approved or disapproved by the club as a whole. What kind of club would want a bunch of punk kids that steal hub caps and probably hold up old ladies for their social security check anyway. Johnny made the right call telling them no. But he screwed up by not showing up as a proper club to get it on with the kid. Fatal error..

I think this account of the film while insightful, but lacks the depth of the knowledge of real life events that inspired the film. If you stayed through the end credits you saw photos from the book by Danny Lyon that was the foundation of the movie. The movie took that book and “fictionalized” a timeline to make a “story” of the events. Obviously it is the “story” of the dominant 1% club in the Chicago area. There is no ambiguity or uncertainty in the ending because we know what happened with the club in its future. The “kid” with the bandana is a representation of the man who became the International President of that club. (RIP) Benny’s look at the end of the movie is one any rider identifies with. You don’t ever get motorcycle riding out of your blood. Once you’re bit by that bug you change. It’s in you. Kathy says everything is good, and Benny wants to be who he really is. A freedom loving bike rider. That’s the beauty of this film, it’s based in reality. These are representations of real people. It’s not a biker club movie, it’s a love story. Johnny’s love for the club he built. Kathy’s love for Benny. Benny’s love for being free in a way only riding a motorcycle can give you. It’s all so clear! I loved this movie.

Half Doc, half movie with chronicoligical plot. The Doc side represents accounts that occurred. The movie (albeit telegraphed) paves us a scripted plot via the Doc. I watched the movie to understand a perspective on a biker club that formed in the early '60's and how it devolved. Not for Hollywood's stylized plot twists and maneuvers. Oh, and by the way there was nothing that Benny could do to bring Johnny back and have the club back to its original state. It's better to have had his moment in the clubs sun than to never of had it at all. Everything changes, just look back at your life. Yeah, regrets may be plenty but the most we can hope for is to minimize our failures of now and tomorrow. Benny represents all of us, some way and some how.

This film would’ve been so much better without the Kathy narration. Jodie Comer delivers a cartoonish performance which would be more at home in Fargo. Tom Hardy’s performance is solid however did we need yet another strange cartoonish voice. Austin Butler shows up however his character is written with no responsibility asking viewers why we should care. In fact the movie treats the subject it’s honoring as a meandering nonsensical character study interspersed with a few good moments. Feminist Hollywood found a way to take all the weight out of a story about masculine aggression within male spaces and interject a women’s perspective leaving the story feeling flimsy and inconsequential. If you’re looking for a good film with excellent character study watch Goodfellas instead. The two have their similarities however Goodfellas is the true heavy weight contender here

My theory is that Benny actually died in a biking accident after Johnny's death and Kathy is just playing their happy life in her head. Nobody else is actually seen speaking with Benny after he leaves the bar staggering after learning of Johnny's death and we know after watching the film that Benny is a risk taker and loves to go fast. That plus being broken up after learning of Johnny's death seem consequential. The foreshadow of everybody saying that every time Benny gets on a motorcycle he ends up in a crash almost seems certainty of his death. Even during the entire interview process, Kathy speaks of Benny almost as if he is in the past tense.
