Texas, Paris

When the first note fell, Travis appeared on the wasteland like a rotting eagle.
Texas, Paris.
Legend has it that it was a paradise, a place to fall in love and nurture life.
Texas, Paris.
An inaccessible desert oasis.
If loneliness is a kind of destiny, then whether escape is a kind of relief.
Where is our home, where is love, where do we return, what do we seek.
That mirror, not just between Travis and Jane, is between each of us. The souls of each other hide behind the mirror, and only their own shadow can peep.
Oh, us, young Mick, dumb Singer, Travis, Don Johnston with the Broken Flower, and everyone who walks the road of life. Oh we, the mighty soulless strangers.
To the west, to the west, the sun always rises behind.
What's ahead, what's ahead, at the end of the road, is there a rainbow, is there a foggy landscape, whether or not, we finally hugged the big tree. The big tree in the fog, the father far away in Germany.
At this moment, the night is so quiet that only the whistle in the distance, the drifting on the rails and on the highway. At this moment, who would look at the lonely far light outside the window, it is not the direction of home, but us left in the dark.
In spring, let's go home. On the green hills by the roadside, the mountain flowers are full of flowers. There was a drizzle of rain on the road, and the raindrops on the glass windows swayed their thin tails, and they were already angry before they swam to the shore. These scrambled tadpoles, these tadpoles made of rain, spring tadpoles.
I think there is no rain in Texas in the spring, and there is no Paris in the Texas Badlands.
I just went home in the spring and left the next day.
I'm still on the journey west, with everyone, and no one. 06.3.14

    "He just saw the idea." Various elements throughout the film, such as Travis's description of the transfer and extension of the father's unrealistic "idea" to the mother, the failure of communication in several relationships stems from the concept and imagining of others and relationships. The role of "father" needs to be dressed up and confirmed by the child. The younger brother's family, his billboard company in LA, and even the scenery and colors of the film are too "sweet" and reveal a unique postcard style. The artificial feeling, the continuous stacking of the west, highway and urban landscape, the more beautiful the more suspicious. The meeting between Travis and Jane, the setting of the phone and the glass partition, and the performance of the actors made people know that this is not a dialogue, but two monologues. After feeling this step, the communication still does not exist, and what the two sides see is still a virtual image. is "idea".

    The story is very short, the rhythm is slow, and the plot is very slow. I really can't agree with the part of taking the children to find their mother. What's the point of reuniting their mother and son, without considering the feelings of the younger brother's family? In the whole film, I'm waiting to see the heroine beauty

Paris, Texas quotes

  • Travis Henderson: Why didn't you take him with you Jane?

    Jane Henderson: I couldn't, Travis. I didn't have what I knew he needed. I didn't want to use him to fill up my emptiness.

  • Travis Henderson: My mother - was not a fancy woman. She was - she never wanted to be a fancy woman. She never even pretended to be a fancy woman.

    Hunter Henderson: Then what was she?

    Travis Henderson: She was just - plain. Just plain and good. She was very good. But, my Daddy, see, my Daddy had, eh, he had this idea, he had this idea in his head that was kind of - kind of - kind of a sickness.

    Hunter Henderson: What idea?

    Travis Henderson: He had this idea about her and he looked at her, but, he didn't see her. He - he saw this idea - and he told people that she was from Paris. It was a big joke. He started tellin' everybody all the time and finally it wasn't a joke any more. He - he started believing it.
