    Clip taken from Line Up, originally broadcast on BBC Two, 28 September, 1969.

    Definitely one of the greatest artists of the 21st century. And an incredibly kind human. I used to work for him and he treated me like an honored guest, always.

      He was physically abusive to every one of his wives -- not sure how kind he was -- but he was incredibly talented.

      @@SenorMoose People are complicated and they grew up with different backgrounds and personal issues. no person is perfect.
      In the divorce proceedings between Dennis Hopper and Victoria Duffy-Hopper, several specific allegations were made. Victoria Duffy-Hopper accused Dennis Hopper of abuse, claiming that she was a victim of his abusive behavior. She alleged that Hopper "berated, belittled, threatened, and intimidated" her into signing a prenuptial agreement and that he threatened to "publicly destroy her" if she did not comply. Additionally, she claimed that Hopper and his adult children engaged in a campaign to force her out of the family home and to change his estate plan against his wishes. On the other hand, Hopper's assistant, Emily Davis, accused Victoria Duffy-Hopper of being a "threat to Dennis' life," claiming that she was trying to kill him and spreading false accusations about Hopper being abusive and financially unsupportive. These allegations were part of a highly contentious and public divorce battle that included disputes over child custody and financial support.

    This was great to see. Easy Rider was an absolutely perfect period piece for that time. It's very cool to hear Dennis explain it so eloquently. Although it's one of my favorite movies, (I don't think we will ever have movies that depend on character and acting like this ever again) I can only watch it when I'm psychologically prepared, it is so disturbing in a few ways. The ending especially. Thank you for putting this in my feed today, Google

    Dennis was often seen as wayward or difficult by certain members of the Hollywood establishment, and he may well have been those things from time to time, but there was also an honesty and deep understanding of the untruths within the Governmental system that few main stream Americans were willing to acknowledge, you could dislike Hopper but you couldn't ignore what he had to say.

    The interviewer represents the man who’s afraid of new ideas and resorts to trying to diminish those ideas by suggesting that the artist (now famous and with money) is just like him. This type of person is still around nowadays. It is very wise not to heed them as they’re afraid of challenging or progressive ideas. The interviewer is only concerned with the surface of the film, without really paying any attention at the content and message of the film. Truly a narrow mind.

    When I watched the film, the marijuana smoking was not something that I saw as a big deal. It is just something they did.
    Maybe it shows more how we see it these days.
    For the sake of transparency: I do not use marijuana myself, but I fully support legalisation.

    Really proud of Dennis holding his cool with this idiot interviewer because Dennis Hopper could be quite explosive when attacked. Who'd have ever guessed that in many U S States today (at least 2 dozen) there are actually state sanctioned retail pot stores. There is a store 3 blocks from me here in the Boston suburbs. No big deal at all. The state sure loves the taxes from it.
