The surreality and indeterminacy/ambivalence of it, for a start.

I take Malignd's point about memory gilding the lily, however, and I haven't
seen 'Easy Rider' in a very long time, though I'd probably watch it again
just to dispel that miasma of youthful reverence. Another example: watching
him now, James Dean on screen makes me cringe.
