Summary: Social Engineering To Increase Box Office
Review: While it's true that the film was not intended to be a documentary, and therefore not to be taken as an historical account of the Hollister '47 events, it did, for the sake of box office, exaggerate and distort the facts, at least in all "objective" reports I've read. LIFE magazine did, as well, while purporting to be on a higher intellectual plane than the movies.There's nothing at all wrong with Hollywood glamorization, it happens all the time, and it should, but the problem comes in when the viewer fails to make the distinction between Hollywood hype and reality. And that is exactly what happened with "The Wild One." The public, by and large, believed that Hollister came down like the movie depicted, and the public image of an "Outlaw" biker persists to this day. If you're looking for an actual event that defined the Hunter S. Thompson Outlaw Biker, look at the 1969 Rolling Stones concert.

Summary: I AIN'T JIVIN. . . BRANDO DOES ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: With this movie Brando became in a icon for all a generation; somehow Brando meant the breakthrough with the past. His style and strong personality let him to establish not only as an irreverent actor but far beyond, but in an actor of multiple skills , with the trademark of a new method far away from the english models as Alec Guiness , John Mills or Michael Redgrave , and cold blood in his acting. He was altogether with James Dean , John Casvettes , Montgomery Clift , Dennis Hopper and Sal Mineo the pioneers , the new beat , the avant garde current of the cold war generation.
This film was a special triumph for Lee Marvin too, another hard guy who would make his own bliss in antihero roles. (Dirty dozen)
In this movie the term Beatles is seen in a special sequence . Try to find it.
This film was clearly a visionary issue , thirteen years before Easy Rider for instance.
