      Not helpless, just nomadic. (Chinese name is misleading)

      Not helpless, just nomadic. This film must have an English name first and then a Chinese name. The Chinese name is actually a bit misleading. Before watching the movie, I only knew the Chinese name, The Land of Nowhere. When I saw the title of the movie Nomadland, everything became clear. No place to rely on, no one to rely on, is a pitiful state in the Chinese context, which will make people sad. And Nomad is a nomad, a Norman, a barbarian who conquered Britain in Europe. For...

      life impulse

      Go to heaven and earth, show yourself to heaven and earth. Go beyond yourself. Entrusting oneself to others and all things seems to be the reason why the film is not afraid of the pain of life and not afraid of the imminent death-beyond oneself. I have to say that some moments in the film are touching. The two sisters separated in front of the big villa against the background of the sunset. They put their faces against a tree in the sky that can only hold one-sixth of the...

      Free people will meet on the road

      The end credits of "Nowhere" pays tribute to all who "have to hit the road". It expresses the extreme freedom and unspeakable bitterness of wandering life. It's a pity that the wandering Sanmao didn't see the movie, and always remembers that she was extremely angry because of the change of the lyrics of the olive tree.

      "Wandering, for the birds flying in the sky, for the clear stream in the mountains, and for the broad grassland." Seeing that the wandering...

      Gone with all the good things in the world

      Maybe this is not the most beautiful look when I grow old, but it is the most I can imagine myself looking like when I grow old.

      Forgive my uninhibited indulgence in this life and love freedom. A me who doesn't like to socialize, a me who is always nostalgic for the good times in the past. At that time, maybe I didn't leave any mark in the torrent of the times, maybe I didn't read ten thousand volumes of books, I didn't earn ten thousand family wealth, and I...

      Nomadland——The decision after the choice is the life you really choose.

      a woman,

      on the way,

      She met a lot of people.

      She was helpful and simple. But you can see her embarrassment, she is very poor, her car is broken, and she has no money. She is a little old, not the age to wander.

      She worked odd jobs to earn some money and then continued to drift.

      She has no plans to stay in one place for a long time.

      She said that she used to...

      The spiritual background of the film may have been said by the characters themselves: the traditional spirit of the United States. They are both independent individuals and loyal to family and community love, with empathy and mutual help as the bond between people. But unlike the original western pioneers, they were more or less forced to go on the road, and the hidden scars in their hearts could not be healed, only the vast world could still be placed. Therefore, although this film has a...

      Going on the road was a passive choice at first, but slowly, she couldn't live without this kind of life. By the bonfire, people tell their stories, and after dawn, they say goodbye. We are born...

      A lot of places are very moving, I thought I understood her loneliness, and the footage of the Amazon workshop was especially interesting. But this is clearly the story of the other, and it is also from the perspective of the...

      It's hard to watch, no event is compelling, and even for such a subject, the passers-by whose camera has never really listened to it can't help but cut to...

    Evaluation action

    "Nowhere" is not a commercial drama under the banner or background of a highway movie. The film is far from dramatic narrative and is unique among independent American productions. Whether it is recording life scenes, or highly artistically edited narratives and poetic pictures, they are all to show the real experience and living conditions of the modern American nomads. Thanks to the starring Francis McDomond’s precise handling of the...

    Movie quotes

    • Makenzie: My mom says that you're homeless, is that true?

      Fern: No, I'm not homeless. I'm just house-less. Not the same thing, right?

    • Linda: Before I moved into this squeeze inn, I was out looking for work and putting in applications. 2008, and it was just tough. I got to a really really low point. And I thought about suicide. And I decided I was gonna go buy a bottle of booze, turn on the propane stove, and I was gonna drink that booze until I'm passed out. And if I woke up, I was gonna light a cigarette and I was gonna blow us all up. And I looked at my two sweet little trusting dogs, my Cocker Spaniel and my little Toy Poodle. And I... I just couldn't do that to them. And I thought, well, I can't do that to me either. So I was getting close to 62 and I went online to look at my social security benefits. It said $550. Fern, I have worked my whole life. I've worked since I was 12 years old. Raised two daughters. I couldn't believe it. So I'm online and I find Bob Wells' cheap RV living. I could live in a RV. Travel. And not have to work for the rest of my life.

    • Swankie: I'm gonna be 75 this year. I think I've lived a pretty good life. I've seen some really neat things kayaking all of those places. And... You know, like a moose in the wild. A moose family on the river in Idaho and big white pelicans landed just six feet over my kayak on a lake in Colorado. Or... Come around a bin, was a cliff and find hundreds and hundreds of swallow nests on the wall of the cliff. And the swallows flying all around and reflecting in the water. So it looks like I'm flying with the swallows and they're under me, and over me, and all around me. And little babies are hatching out, and eggshells are falling out of the nest, landing on the water and floating on the water. These little white shells. That was like, it's just so awesome. I felt like I've done enough. My life was complete. If I died right then, at that moment, would be perfectly fine.
