It is said that it is another movie based on a novel. With the trend of more and more consumption-oriented movies, the cliché comment of "good novels, bad movies" seems to be more and more common, and it is not too much to admit that the books you read Many, I haven't read the original novel of ON THE ROAD, and I don't know the exact date of publication. However, the wandering plot in the play, the decadent living state, and the restlessness that the film itself shows is about to enter a new era. It can be seen that the prototype of such a movie must be in the middle and late 1940s. If I remember correctly, the rock music that has so far impressed countless people, that is, was born in that period, the background music of jazz and blues in the film, it is clear that the intensity of percussion instruments exceeds that of piano and cello, Although the style of music has not changed, it is still possible to smell the love of rock and roll that has grown secretly, just like the passion of young people who cannot be blocked.
Living in peace and prosperity is a pleasant thing, but also a boring thing. Those who are in the cracks of the times will definitely bear more pain and waves, but they will manage a life with more ups and downs.
Every young man has a shallow hormone that desires turmoil and passion in his bones, but not everyone can play it. Dean is a troublesome young man, but he has the ability to win more than one woman to stay with him, even if these women know that one day they will leave them; he can also make the young men around him have to be convinced by him, Purcell. Before meeting Dean, he was just an ordinary young writer looking forward to becoming famous, but after getting to know Dean, he started a wandering life. Fortunately, Searle did not follow blindly, and the two of them met late. One is envious of others' detachment and spontaneity, while the other admires each other's talent and learning. In terms of human psychology, we are easily attracted to another person who has something in us that we do not have. This is the case with Dean and Searle. Because of the acquaintance of the two, Searle started to carry the backpack and decided to rely on Wandering life to enrich his lack of writing, Dean's rough life gradually became a little poetic because of Purcell's appearance.
There is a folk saying, the poor raise sons and rich daughters, girls need to be nurtured by a rich life, and boys need to work hard and beat. But from today's reality, it seems that this society has become deformed and has become "rich sons and daughters". The boys have gradually lost the opportunity and courage to go out and fight. Now it seems that the life of chasing dreams, like Purcell, has gradually become legendary, and this kind of life is gradually becoming less and less. recognized by elders. Seeing that Searle's wallet was looted by Marilu, and there was not much left of the note book immediately after the trip, when he labored to light the cigarette butts he picked up from the ground, he suddenly felt a faint sense of sadness. Every artist or writer must have had a lot of hardships on the road to becoming famous, and there are a lot of vicissitudes hidden behind their achievements, but I still see the firm expression on Searle's face, it is very pleasant to stick to dreams and do what I like. , so even if it is full of hardships, enjoy the process. What can be seen at this time is also the difference between Purcell and before. After wandering and wandering, the passion for writing is also born.
There is a great truth to the saying that it is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand volumes of books. Carrying a backpack and walking on the road of travel, you can make a life of your own, but many people dare not do it, and even find a lot of excuses to cover up their cowardice, or, you can also say, You don't like this kind of life. In fact, looking back, it is precisely because we grew up in the same way of living that the material society and stable state have long numbed our eyes, making us unable to distinguish what we want, and losing ourselves. The original passion, the rest is the endless sense of boredom and numb persistence in the face of life. We will despise those living conditions that only enjoy, live in no fixed place, and uninhibited, but from the heart, who does not want to take a long vacation for themselves. That's why Dean can attract so many young people.
I have heard such a sentence, children, let them go out for a walk, no matter whether they become talents or not, even if they hit their heads and bleed, it is also a kind of experience. Although Purcell's wandering writing life has been unsatisfactory, although he is still successful in the end, no matter whether he succeeds or not, he still will not leave any regrets. Well, even if Dean stood in front of him in the end, because Dean has long been an indispensable character in his wandering life, and has long been a part of his life.
The most unforgettable scene near the end of the film, Dean stood on the cold and bleak street, shaking and saying, goodbye, my best brother, watching Purcell's limousine go away, in fact, this trip, This wandering life is long overdue, Searle has become famous, and Dean's prodigal son has turned back.
I remembered that Marilou wrote on the note she left when she left Searle that she didn't want to drift any more, and also vaguely remembered that Dean finally said that his wife had forgiven him and waited for him to come back. In the matter of homelessness, the inequality between men and women seems to have a more obvious contrast. No matter how much a woman yearns for flirtation and a life of ups and downs, she can't escape the days of returning to stability. In the end, she is also afraid of losing and forced to be good. Although Marilou may not love the sailor, even if she just wants to pass this trip. A humble revenge on Dean, and in the end, it was also Dean's non-cutting and understated mentioning; it is said that the prodigal son can't change the money, and the man is wandering outside. , In the end, there are still people who are willing to wait for his prodigal son to come back, just like Dean's wife, if she decides when they leave, it will be difficult to bear the burden of raising two children. She chooses to let Dean come back.
At the end of the story, when Searle suddenly typed on the typewriter without stopping, he seemed to see the pleasure of his endless feelings being vented. He succeeded in the end, but now he is not writing novels, but his own life, his own wandering, the wandering life that is full of passion and decadence, but gives himself a wonderful life insight.
