Hopper. Este artículo no está disponible.Hopper

The chopper-riding hippie outlaw in Easy Rider. The prophetic madman in the jungle in Apocalypse Now. The terrifying psychopath in Blue Velvet. The kid gone wrong in "Rebel Without a Cause". The actor taken under the wing of James Dean, a friendship that set Hopper on his path to becoming a star. A quintessentially American dreamer longing to be the next Orson Welles. The hell-raising director who revolutionized Hollywood. A rebel, an icon, an addict plagued by demons, and an art collector who bought one of the first Andy Warhol soup cans, the roller-coaster life and career of Dennis Hopper is one of the great American stories. His cinematic adventure kicks off in the Dust Bowl with a boy from Dodge City, Kansas who dreams of going to Hollywood. Hopper's extraordinary journey takes him to superhero highs and plummeting lows, from the days of 60s rebellion to the drug-addled 70s to starring in one of the greatest Hollywood comebacks of all time. Capturing the magic of Hopper and the madness of his American Dream, "Hopper" is a wild ride through Dennis' many lives, as unconventional a biography as Dennis was a man. Written in a rebel spirit and packed with insights from his fellow actors, artists, and friends, "Hopper" tells the story of a half-century of rebellion waged at the edge of American pop culture.
