nowhere

Relatively speaking, Chinese people have the concept of roots, family, and clan. No matter where they go, there is always a concern, and it is also a place to go back. These are deep in the bone marrow, instilled in the blood since childhood, and our flesh and blood are constructed by him. On the other hand, Americans have much weaker concepts in this regard. On the other hand, they have nowhere to go back. On the road is the only thing they can do, perhaps to escape or perhaps to seek. As said at the end of the video, to those who have to hit the road. Nowhere is not only the body, but also the mind. There is a sentence that impressed me deeply. She said, without parents and children, when I left, Bo was like never existed. Yes, without her, he really does not exist, there is really no trace of a person, and I don't know if anyone will throw stones to commemorate her like her. Those who say she left everything and hit the road, I actually think they are no different from the so-called people who left everything and hit the road. It's just that there were some differences in their behavior from the start. In the film, the friends I see when I go back to my sister's house, all they do is to try to build a small environment or their own world for themselves, in order not to make themselves helpless and become helpless.

Besides, Chinese people are born with a place to depend on. This is a kind of luck, and it may be a burden at the same time. Spiritually, how do you find a place to rely on and rely on? Perhaps those indulgent and confused people are unable to find their own support because they have no place to rely on.

Everyone takes their own, or escapes, or seeks, and has to go on the road, so let's meet on the road.

    The sensationalism basically depends on speaking, and after finishing the speech, there will be a standard piano piece of artistic life. It can only be said that at least the attitude is sincere. Fern's independence, ability, and positivity are the best aspects of the American spirit.

    It's not difficult to say, but it's a movie that's simple but hard to control. I think this control lies in focusing on nothing else. The director is also immersed in such a journey. It seems that there is a natural force to help her show it, which is natural and beautiful. Great control over the photography, clever use of the soundtrack, and also controlling the meaning thing, not meaning for the sake of meaning, and McDormand's performance is brilliant, she just maintains herself, this and this The film is shot in the same way, that is, keep, the verse says "all beautiful images will inevitably fade", but McDormand's really restrained performance has reached a certain buffer, she is very good at it, there is no glamorous relaxation, There is no exquisite tension, she just deduces a kind of on the road, everything is moving forward or backward, she also maintains herself and speed, even in the last crying scene, it is only a slight panting. Xie Lingyun, a generation of landscape poets, once had a difficult and classic famous sentence "The lonely traveler is hurt, and the lonely traveler is bitter", which is probably the heart of the movie I saw.

Nomadland quotes

  • 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.
