Dennis Hopper's The Last Movie - spaces between spaces...

[MrKaliom]

02:31 the guitar bit reminds me of the intro to the Lemon Pipers' Green tambourine

[chepiot]

i bought this album: John Buck Wilkin. It is from the album "In Search of Food, Clothing, Shelter and Sex" ABSOLUTLY NO SONGS LIKE THIS ONE ON THIS ALBUM.

[Toracube]

Wow !! haven't seen this in years !! You know your stuff !!

Awesome post !!!

[VNTPLA]

Relisten to this song is always a pleasure.

[MrUnidyne]

What many people don't seen to realize that as Kansas' life becomes more and more disjointed, so does the film!

[SmallTownTheatre]

You can see the BRUCE CONNER A MOVIE influence on Hopper's editing style

[NoelArtMedia]

Thanks for posting this. I think this is one of the most lilting and relaxing songs ever written. The film was so ahead of it's time. A non-linear masterpiece that deserves another look.

[VNTPLA]

Hi, is there someone with the chords of this song or -at least whoknows id it's in open tuhing or standard ?

[KWFBong]

I haven't seen this movie yet.

When Mr Hopper died, a german newspaper wrote something about this movie. They mentioned, that music from the Grateful Dead was used here.

Is this true?

I couldn't find any information about that, and I think its wrong.

I guess they mixed it up with "Apocalypse Now", where a Grateful Dead Drum Solo is used ...

[sgberg]

@KWFBong You're right: they're wrong. But even Deadless, it had a good soundtrack, including Wilkin, Kris Kristofferson (playing live), and others.

John Buck Wilkin from lp In Search Of Food Clothing Shelter and Sex" with other American Dreamer" album songs by Wilkin. -A great song writer and musician

maestro, otro grande que se nos va, todos suben al olimpo y nos dejan aqui , su magia nunca perecera dios de siempre

[daddycrockett23]

I wish I could have watched the faces of the suits when Hopper showed them what he'd done with their million bucks!

[Alvaro1925]

This movie was filmed in Peru: Rest in peace Dennis.

[SLACKER614]

@Alvaro1925 outside of 'Easy Rider' this film was his best..'it made me think outside of Hollywood madness..

[bohemiandonut]

Cool where did you get this clip? Why not up the whole film?

[stonewolf1886]

who sings this song?

[uncledavey80]

It's Gart Funkel.

[bankspappas]

Who is singing this song???????????

[sgberg]

The singer-songwriter is John Buck Wilkin. In a previous incarnation, he was "Ronny" of mid-60s surf/car/pop band Ronny & the Daytonas.

[biggestkrisfan]

@sgberg The son of Maryjohn Wilkin? Really? That's interesting ... Would really like to see this movie because of the soundtrack ...

[w6257]

[bankspappas]

is that townes van zandt singing this zong?

[novostendhal]

Genial

[MisterDavidWeinstein]

Who sings this song - I saw this film on a great channel that doesn't exist anymore (i forget the name) but this is a GREAT SONG from a really interesting film that 70s hollywood blames for being the end of independant filmaking because Hopper copmletely let the production run amok.

[marfafilmfestival]

It's playing at the Marfa Film Festival and Mr. Hopper's going back there for the first time in 50 years (since Giant) to show it and about the experience.

[bryandawkins]

Lee Wasserman said that if Dennis Hopper did not recut the film, then it would only play for a limited time in the U.S. and that it would not even see the light of day in Europe even though European audiences were anxiously awaiting its European release, after it won the Venice award. Hopper still would not recut the film and refused to speak to Wasserman for years. In a recent interview, however, Hopper said that he has forgiven Wasserman.

I don't

[IrishClaudius]

@ I know what you mean it IS one of cinemas great 'cubist' films but why can't we have both versions so we can judge for ourselves. In any case Hopper himself had some doubts about how he was going to finish post production. If you watch American Dreamer (also on youtube) you can see he was a bit at a loss. And my own personal view is that his friend and mentor Alejandro Jodorowsky took advantage of him and persuaded him to do the film his way.

[langbry]

Beautiful, bizarre, and underrated film.

[adamfilmmaker]

Thank you so much for sharing The Last Movie.

[SonnyCrawford]

Who's singing the song?

[maddmike68]

It's got to be Townes Van Zandt. I'd bet it is. The voice is unmistakable. He was one of the greatest songwriters ever, but totally underrated. He died in 1997.

que lindo

era mi pueblo esos años y lo sigue siendo

I love you chinchero

[dreamshorts]

been looking for this for ages. hopper says hes putting together a dvd release as we speak. amazing that this was not recognised in its time. i think it was frank zappa who said "if it sounds good, its out of date". quite fitting here

[nofare]

Beautiful.

[dougzilla]

Great clip. Thanks
