CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Trapped in a traffic jam, Bobby (Jack Nicholson) jumps onto the back of a truck and starts playing the piano in an impromptu freeway performance.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
A disaffected man seeks a sense of identity in one of the key films of Hollywood's 1970s New Wave. Once a promising pianist from a family of classical musicians, Bobby Eroica Dupea (Jack Nicholson, in his first major starring role) leads a blue-collar life as an oil rigger, living with needy waitress girlfriend Rayette (Karen Black) and bowling with their friends Elton (Billy "Green" Bush) and Stoney (Fannie Flagg). Feeling suffocated by responsibilities, Bobby seeks out his sister, Tita (Lois Smith), and, discovering that his father is gravely ill, he reluctantly heads back to the patrician family compound in Puget Sound with a pregnant Rayette in tow. After a road trip featuring a harangue from hitchhiker Palm (Helena Kallianiotes) about filth, and Bobby's ill-fated attempt to make a menu substitution in a diner, he tucks Rayette away in a motel before heading to the house. There Bobby seduces his uptight brother Carl's cultured fiancée, Catherine (Susan Anspach), but Rayette shows up unexpectedly. As Rayette's crassness collides with the snobbery of the Dupea circle, Bobby loses patience with both sides. After trying to reconcile with his mute father, Bobby departs, unwilling to give in to either destiny. Director Bob Rafelson and screenwriter Adrien Joyce (aka Carole Eastman) used the creative control afforded by the low budget to craft a European-influenced character study, catching a cultural mood of anomie and resentment as it was embodied in Bobby. Neither older generation nor hippie, Bobby fits in nowhere, and his desire for independence conflicts with his emotional emptiness. Nicholson's nuanced performance of simmering frustration resonated with 1970 audiences caught between Nixon's "silent majority" and the troubled counterculture; a substantial hit, Five Easy Pieces was nominated for several Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor, and established Nicholson as a star. Offering no "easy" answers to Bobby's existential crisis, Five Easy Pieces is one of the pre-eminent films in the early-'70s cycle of alienated American art movies, as even the fantasy of rebellion is reduced to merely running away.

This movie is probably one of the best feel-bad movies I've ever seen.
For me it’s feel good lol
“Feel bad”? Or “think for once”? Maybe “feel good” movies are the problem.
Jack Nicholson confronting a dog is the best thing I've seen from him.
Or how he has academy awards under his sleeve? Ignorant statement.
@@joshuagerthoffer2321 come again?
@@joshuagerthoffer2321 I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
@@joshuagerthoffer2321 I don't see how the academy awards has anything to do with my comment.
0:30 That's the best thing I've seen.
Nicholson fighting a dog.
Agree
Only Jack can be so classy in responding to a dog 😄
Jack Nicholson is a goddamned treasure!!
I'll be wondering where Trevor got his ideas from from Grand Theft Auto 5
That dog scene made my fuxking day lmao 🤣
I think Bobby speaks for us all here.
Yeah, about how life actually is.
I like how everyone is just mindlessly honking as if it's going to change anything
The movie should have ended here with him leaving everything behind. Haha.
You want the dog? You can't handle the dog!
I love how the truck drives off in the opposite direction to where Jack wants to go
I love how you just stated the obvious.
I love how you both think you’re the only smart ones here.
Heh, the audience probably thought Nicholson was just going to bang on the piano like a mischievous little kid, not play Chopin!
I want one of each of those cars in that clip
Jack is epic
It was easier back in those days to act with such spontaneity and creativity, and not freak people out. These days , peeps would go into a panic, or start filming and up- loading material, get angry or call the cops..
Has to be in my top 20 movies, maybe 15, lets see, Alien, Return Of the Living Dead ( same writer as Alien!), The Fog, The Paper Chase, Casino, Nixon, Five Easy Pieces, The Last Detail, The Shining, Founder, Clock Work Orange, 2010 Space Odyseey, I Claudius, TV show but might as be a long movie, Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, The Pianist, Amityville Horror 3 , Born On The Fourth of July to name a few.
Best stuff from any Jack picture!!!😎😎😎
It’s almost like Falling Down freeway traffic jam scene with Michael Douglas 😊
Fantastic scene!
Dude,this is cool 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This must be highway 99 because I don't think highway 5 was completed to here in 1970. In 1970 I tried to drive an XKE up 5, my map said it was complete. When the pavement ended I kept going. An hour or so later I got stuck on one of the many water bars I had to slide over. It was 2 AM. Finally a truck came by and I was off to lovely Fireball, on hwy 33. Then up and over the mountain at Patterson and Into San Jose via Mt Hamilton, that was about 40 miles of dirt road, too. (hwy 43 is now 46)
Look at the overpass pillars. Stinceled on there in black lettering is the date of route completion (possibly section?). I hauled Ag(ricultural) products between Bakersfield and Sacramento for several years, all I ever noticed was '1970' notation of date.
1970
@@blindorbit4020 o
IMDB says it's Exit 246 on Interstate 5. Google Street View shows that the sign above the ramp says "Shafter/Wasco" just like it does in the movie.
@@happygilmore5948 I looked on Google Earth and where 5 ended in 1970 was up around Kettleman city area 50 or so miles north. So everything is OK. Except for the XKE:: Owner lent it to a friend, the oil pump failed and so did the engine.
road looks pretty much the same or like any exit on 5
Chopin Fantasie brought me here...
Love this movie. Perfect for Jack Nicholson. 😂
AT LAST, AN O'LE PIANO [ON A TRUCK] AND Y'ALL, 'TIME FOR SYMPHONY!! HEH HEH HEH HEAH!! 🎶🎹🛻
Trevor Phillips
that bit is so funny
If so.
choosing the road less traveled...
If it is.
his best movie straighy drama
On location NB 99 Bakersfield, California, Kern County, 3rd largest U.S. producers of crude oil--even during our current recession--yeah baby!
what piece is he playing ?
Frédéric Chopin: Fantasy in F minor, Op. 49
playing crazy e-minor
Bat Out Of Hell (Meat-Loaf)
Lick my Love Pump by Spinal Tap
I wouldn’t be surprised if Jack “arguing” at a random passing dog was improvised
Also why was the dog in the front driver’s seat??
Billy "Green" Bush is freaking unsettling in every movie.
Cut too soon on the intro; missed _’Elton’_ (Billy Bush) singing silly while playing that yukolele lol.
Bakersfield?
Nonpareil1710
sure is bakersfield
the one to the brown one
In 1970 that would be a brand new interstate 5
i wold lime to know what car that is on 2.01
It's a 1967 or 1968 Plymouth Fury
Trevor Philips
Is it actually jack who’s playing ?
No.
Robert Berkowitz too bad
Surely not... This is a professional pianist level piece
Yes Jack is actually playing, but his is not the audio you hear.
