Five Easy Pieces the road life of its hero. We follow him through bars and bowling alleys, motels and mobile homes, and we find him rebelling against lower-middle-class values even as he embraces them. In one magical scene, he leaps from his car in a traffic jam and starts playing the piano on the truck in front of him; the scene sounds forced, described this way, but Rafelson and Nicholson never force anything, and never have to. Robert Eroica Dupea is one of the most unforgettable characters in American movies. He named the film the best of 1970, and later added it to
Jack Nicholson Academy. Nicholson's acting career spans over sixty years. He has won three Academy Awards, and with twelve nominations, he is the most nominated male actor in the Academy's history. Among his most notable films are "Easy Rider" (1969), "Five Easy Pieces" (1970), "The Last Detail" (1973), "Chinatown" (1974), "The Passenger" (1975), "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975), "The Shining" (1980), "Terms of Endearment" (1983), "Batman" (1989), "A Few Good Men" (1992), "As Good as It Gets" (1997), "About Schmidt" (2002), "Something's Gotta Give" (2003), "The Departed" (2006), and "The Bucket List" (2007).
