Using the image of a biker has always been a favorite pastime for directors of "B" category movies. Endless gangs on motorcycles all the 70s, 80s and half of the 90s with delight created all sorts of atrocities on the screens, terrorized entire cities and stole girlfriends of the main characters. All this looked quite funny, helping bikers to avoid unnecessary questions of passers-by, who preferred to bypass the motorcyclist, no matter what, side.
Basically, all these masterpieces have dissolved in cable networks and video libraries of fans, leaving in the sediment of the films, quite different from the total mass. Now these blockbusters are learning to live modern "kings of the road", looking back on the screen, choosing the right wardrobe, the right bike and the right behavior. All this is called the word "style" and is put in the form of new collections on the shelves of shops.
There is nothing wrong with it for the society, and any sensible person understands that "evil bikers" are 99% just people who have found an interesting game, representing a full vertical cross-section of society from plumber to minister. Even after watching a movie with Bruce Lee 100 times, no one will be able to fight like him, you need to radically change yourself, but even after two views, you can not badly imitate his stand and publish a sound like a meowing.
The same is true here. The bike is sold at the store. After a week, the man enters the corners dashingly, but he will not leave the chase and shoot at the fasting station. That's why fasting is calm and his pulse remains even when another villain passes by.
In classical films everything is approximately clear: there are good, there are evil, maximum, there are doubters (they are killed first). Even if the negative hero is endowed with some attractive features, the director will certainly make him publicly do something that will definitely beat all the pros and will not make the viewer doubt the correctness of the distribution of his sympathies among the characters. Due to this morally impeccable policy, which had been in effect for many years, after watching the film, the viewer was left with the image of an exceptionally positive character in the "cool outfit".
Everything began to change. Heroes ceased to be heroic, the villains are not much more evil than the Dobryakovs, police agents squirm in agony, and the fall from the motorcycle ringing bones. "The first bell was Hochelaga, which is a very plausible account of recent events in French-speaking Canada. It is not the heroic everyday life of one-percent clubs that is shown here in cloudy tones, it is robbed and killed, and housewives will not like it. Creating Hochelaga, the director obviously did not count on a great commercial success, but wanted to cut the truth. Well, he succeeded. And many guys in leather vests with a 1% tag bought on a bike slot thought about it, but they thought it was all "horror stories". The success of the film among the "knowledgeable" was colossal. People nodded their heads and admitted that in many ways everything shown was true. It was a dashing time, the club wars in Canada and Scandinavia put aside all the criminal events. The most serious measures were taken in the course of the events of those years, and in the events of those years an unprepared and "not club" person should not even try to find romance.
Anti-advertising - great advertising and watching Hochelaga, people became more interested in the life and history of motorcycle clubs, and the more they went deep, sticking their nose in, the less familiar they found there. All the bookstores had a book about Hells Angels Hunter Thompson's club, in which he described in a very peculiar way the organization of a model from 30 years ago. And here we go! The average person on the motorcycle no longer wanted to look like the hero of the film. The word "biker" became almost insulting. Now it is much better to say "motorcyclist", without hurting anyone's feelings.
In the image of a biker began to disappear romance, and thus gradually change and ideals. Many wonder why bikers stop saying hello to each other on the road - so, this is just the beginning! These ideals, no matter how naive they are, keep everyone together. Sometimes it's funny to talk about them without a smile, but they are, mostly fed by this way by a biker.
