With his father's death, and his lack of inspiration, Searle felt like a star for Dean. Purcell has been on the road throughout the film. Along the way, he has met all kinds of people and all kinds of things. These people have their own characteristics, but they are all inseparable from the decadence of that era. Pleasure in time: pleasure is temporary, and it will wait until the end. Falling hard from the sky, the end of the rainbow is full of shit. Of the group: Carl was the first to leave the group due to his unreturned and hopeless love for Dean. He was the first among a group of people to realize the truth that this era has collapsed, but he responded with a negative and hopeless attitude, and he was frustrated and gave up on himself. Marylou is fascinated by an irresponsible scumbag. Although she understands that she will be abandoned sooner or later, she still follows her around the world. In the end, she is tired from wandering and longs for a warm home. After leaving Dean and finding a home, the line "no one pays attention" at the beginning of the film reflects her inner desire. Camille is a wise woman who sees through Dean's irresponsible nature, and decisively chooses to give up and re-energize, sober and not afraid of reality, which is the opposite of this group of "madmen". Dean lost his father since he was a child. Perhaps it was the influence of family changes and the growing environment that made him so irresponsible and sympathetic. Purcell almost broke with it. In the end, he returned to his hometown to find traces of his father, who was the root buried deep in his heart. And Purcell is the most sober and most aware of what he is doing and what he should do in this group-he wants to write a book, he wants to ask for the haze that his father's death casts on him, he wants to go around Walking around and touching all kinds of things, he wants to grow. At first he believed in Dean, thinking that he was holy and brought joy to people, of course, this did not change in the end, but Dean's passing away when Purcell had a fever broke his heart and made him Don't trust Dean anymore, don't want to have anything to do with him anymore. But this legendary experience still kept him in mind. Although this former friendship is not necessary to continue, it is still worth remembering forever.
And all these people's growth process in this film is to find the purpose of their life, which is the confusion and hesitation of the beat generation youth.
It reminds me of Dean Moriaty.
