Films - Easy Rider VS. The Limey

[Dave Meury]

"The Limey"

Middle-aged Fonda (Terry Valentine) is asked in a way by his very young
girlfriend what it was like "back then."

ADHARA:

It must've been a time.  A golden moment.

VALENTINE

Have you ever dreamed of a place ... You don't really recall ever having
been to ... A place that probably doesn't even exist except in your
imagination ... Somewhere far away, half-remembered when you wake up ...
But when you were there you spoke the language, you knew your way around
...

(significant pause)

That was the 60's.


[It should be noted for those who did not see the film that Valentine
comes across as never having matured beyond his self-centered youth  --
a fatuous stinkeroo, as they say.]
