Susan Sarandon, the pure garbage that she is, portrays a woman who is pure garbage. Not much of a stretch there.
Boyle, another bleeding heart, has the role of evil Right-Wing avenger.
Boyle learns that a man has accidentally killed the piece-of-crap hippy who was slowly killing the man's piece-of-crap daughter (Sarandon) with drugs. The movie tells us that it is wrong to interfere with your daughter's slide into drug addiction, alcoholism and promiscuity. Hey, they have their rights, man.
Sarandon takes her clothes off a lot because hey, that's good acting.
Boyle hates everybody because hey, that's an honest portrayal of what was once called the Silent Majority.
Eventually Boyle abandons everything he believes in. Despite his intense hate, all of a sudden, hey, them hippies look good.
Then he goes wild and kills everybody in sight.
Speaking as a former hippy, I remember that fathers tended to get upset when their daughters turned into drug-addled whores. I seem to remember that even the liberal pinko Dads didn't like their daughters being used as catatonic semen receptacles, the type of role, by the way, that Sarandon was born to play.
Boyle, the great actor albeit liberal freak that he is, expressed great displeasure that audiences sided with his character. Apparently, it is wrong to get robbed and try to retrieve your wallet. Apparently, it is wrong to protect your daughter.
Just like Easy Rider, every hippy in this movie is a complete waste.
And just like in Easy Rider, the best scene is at the end where the hippies die.
Joe gets 9 stars because lots and lots of hippies die.
It loses a star because some of them survive.
For all those who feel that this movie is an honest portrayal of anything, let this hippy give you the old three-fingered peace sign.
And now it's time to tune in, turn on, and drop out.
Groovy, baby.
P.S. The ORIGINAL spelling was "hippy." Blame the establishment for the nonsensical variation, "hippie."
