    The dialectics of nomadism and settlement. The irony is that nomads are the least willing to accept change. They are attached to abandoned homes, migrating round and round along fixed routes, and living in the past. Instead, the settlers are calm about change. If you can adapt to others to accept changes and start a new life, you will be resettled under the eaves like David, who the hostess...

    Zhao Ting showed off her superb skills in fiddle with the audience. When the film made the audience just immersed in the emotion of harmony between man and nature, she had to close the car door to return to reality. This is just like the heroine insisted on the choice. Should be just a touch of monochrome in...

    The elephant is invisible and extremely simple and moving. From Zhao Ting's lens, she can feel her love for her subject. Not only is the modern gypsy life with a RV home, but also the spiritual world of American road culture: there is no formal farewell, and you will always see you on the road. The last scene of the movie is exactly what I have been doing recently. To end 2020 with such a movie, I can’t find other languages ​​besides...

    "I am 75 years old this year, and I think I have had a pretty good life in my life. I have seen many beautiful things while kayaking around. On the river in Idaho, I have seen a family of elk. On a lake in Colorado, a big white pelican landed in front of my kayak. After a bend, there was a cliff there. I saw hundreds of swallows resting on the cliff and swallows flying in the air. , And with the reflection of the river water, it looked like I was also flying, and swallows were flying around me,...

    It's not that no family loves her, it's not that no friends love her, or the unrestrained wandering life that makes her yearning, but that her heart has nowhere to rest after the love in her heart disappears into this world, so she has to be forced to go on the road. . Desolation, loneliness, stubbornness, powerlessness, and sadness drift from this end of the road to the distance. . . Zhao Ting described the inner state of the characters very well. The answer seemed to be given at the beginning...

    People who are burdened with pain and exiled from society use "nomadism" as a confrontation between individuals and their destiny. The sentence "I'll see you down the road" is full of too much loneliness, briefly connecting the travellers in a hurry, and witnessing them running on their respective roads without hesitation. The western United States under Zhao Ting's lens has an unspeakable...

Nomadland quotes

  • Fern: I've been thinking a lot about my husband, Bo. When it got really bad at the end, they had him in the hospital on morphine drippin'. I was sitting there at night in the hospital. And... I'd wanna put my thumb down on that morphine drip just a little bit longer. So I could let him go. Maybe I should've tried harder. So he could've gone sooner without all that pain.

    Swankie: Maybe he wouldn't have wanted that. Maybe he was trying to stay with you as long as he could. I'm sure you took good care of him, Fern.

    Fern: I did.

  • Carol: I see that you have this ring. Are you married?

    Fern: I am, but my husband died.

    Carol: And so...

    Fern: I'm not gonna take that off.

    Carol: That ring is a circle and it never ends. And that means that your love never ends. And you may not be able to take it off, if you tried.

    Fern: I don't think I can.
