Translated by Sam Shepard /Qiu Cuiguang

Editor's note: "Texas, Paris" is based on the novel of the same name by L.M. Kit Carson Adapted and filmed in collaboration with West Germany in France. The film was released in 1984. In the same year, it won the French Cannes Film Festival Grand Prix-Palme d'Or, British Film Institute Review-Best Screenplay Award and Best Actor Award. Film critics generally believe that the film is excellent in photography, music and performance. The director of the film, Wim Wynd, is one of the most famous directors in West Germany today. The actor, Harry Dean Stanton, made his debut on stage, but the performance was handy. The famous actress Natasia Kinsky has not many plays in this film, but the difficulty is very high. Her beautiful appearance and skillful acting skills left a deep impression on people.

The southern wilderness of Texas, United States, is endless and uninhabited. An old eagle flew up, stood on a bare rock, fluttered its wings twice, screamed strangely, and seemed to be looking for a dead body for it to peck at. The scorching sun made the few grasses on the ground turn yellow.
Travis walked aimlessly on the wasteland, his lips were chapped and his blood oozing thinly. He looked around, looking for some water to drink, and when he saw a fence and a house in the distance, he cheered and walked. A faucet was right next to the fence. He jumped over, grabbed the faucet and opened it, but he couldn't squeeze a drop of water out. He used his mouth to suck again, but did not suck out a drop of water. He left disappointed and continued to walk to a row of stone houses not far away.
That is a gas station. He opened the door and saw that there was a dark hole inside, the room was full of debris, and a refrigerator and a row of tables were placed on the corner of the wall. He opened the door of the refrigerator and saw that it was full of wine bottles. He closed the door again disappointedly, then opened the other refrigerator next to it, and found that it was a cabinet with ice, so he quickly grabbed a handful of ice cubes from it and chewed it gorgingly. After a while, he felt dark in front of him, and fell to the ground with a "pounce". One of the workers who had been sitting in the dark watching him saw Travis suddenly falling to the ground, so he stood up and walked to his side.
Worker: "What's the matter?"

Hospital
Travis was lying on the hospital bed. Although he had recovered his sanity, he pretended not only to listen to the doctor's question because he was unwilling to speak, but stared at the ceiling blankly.
Doctor: "Do you know where you are? What is your name, child?" The
doctor asked impatiently while examining him.
Doctor: "Did something cut off your tongue? Or something shameful. Did you understand?" The
doctor took one of his arms and shook it, then put it down again, and said to himself He said to himself: "Let me give you a good check."
After speaking, he picked up a magnifying glass and took Travis's ear and looked in carefully. For a long time, he said loudly: "Ha, you can hear me very clearly!" The
doctor walked to the hanger, picked up his coat, and found a business card from the inside.
Doctors (read aloud): "uh, Walter · A · Henderson ......" He went back Travis around, "? Now, I ask you one last question, you see this card yet"
special Lavis glanced at him and said nothing.
Doctor: "Is this you? Or is it your relative? (The doctor pauses) Okay, I will call the phone number above and ask, maybe they will tell me who you are. I can There are not so many beds to accept a dumb man." The
doctor murmured as he walked out of the room. Travis watched him go out, still not speaking.
Doctor (voice-over): "Operator, please pick me up from Los Angeles, California, phone number 213."

Walter, took the microphone and listened to the doctor's call with surprise.
Walter: "Ah, what, um, can you tell me the exact location of your hospital? Where is it? Oh, okay, okay. Yes, okay, I'll go right away. I'll be there as soon as possible. Just... please tell him I'll go, okay? Thank you!"
Walter put down the microphone and immediately went to see his wife Annie, who also works in the company.
Annie is discussing matters with a worker. Seeing Walter coming, he immediately greeted him.
Walter: "Anne, dear, I just received a strange call."
Annie: "Who called?"
Walter: "It's a hospital in South Texas, a place called Trane Valley. They said I found Travis." After
hearing this, Annie was taken aback. After a while, she asked: "Oh, what are you going to do?"
Walter: "I'll pick him up."
Annie: "Oh, Walter..."
She hesitated for a moment. Still did not say it.
Wall: "What can I do? I can't leave him there!"
Annie: "What about Hunter? What should I tell him?"
Walter: "Well, just tell him that I'm on a business trip. "
Anne:" I mean Travis things. "
Walter thought for a moment and said:." you'd better tell him the truth, "

Doctor: "Well, sir. But first of all I have to I want to ask you, has your brother ever had a car accident?"
Walter: "No, no, I remember." The
doctor: "Then, he must be troubled by something."
Walter became impatient: "I want to do it now. See my brother, if you don't mind."
Doctor: "He's gone."
"What, he's not here?" Walter jumped up from the chair, "I walked the longest way to this ghost place. He is gone?"

Travis stopped, staring sideways at him for a long time, then slightly Nodded.
Walter looked him up and down. I saw him in ragged clothes, ragged shoes on his feet, and full beard, which covered more than half of his dry and thin face.
Walter: "What the hell is going on with you, huh? You seem to have walked forty miles of rugged trails in one breath...Come on, let's get in the car, Traver...Come on!"

Walter saw Travis not. Answered, I had to go on alone.
Walter: "Traver, we have to walk a long way. You have walked a lot. You must feel very lonely.... Traver, can you tell me where you have been in the past four years? Have you seen Jane? Have you talked to her? Annie and I almost lost our confidence. We thought you were dead."
No matter what Walter said, Travis never said a word.

You should change to a new outfit too, don’t you? What size shoes do you wear?" Then, he moved to the edge of the bed and sat down with Travis. He compares his feet with his feet, "Maybe one size bigger than mine, isn't it?"
He glanced at Travis again, gave him affectionately, and said, "What's the matter with your beard? Very beautiful!" As he said, he stood up and said, "Okay, I have to go into the city, and I will be back soon."
Walter walked to the door, and then turned to Travis who was sitting blankly. "It's okay with you? Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible."
Travis stood up after Walter left. He walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, took a look, and walked to the mirror to take photos for a long time.

Walter: "Travis, remember your little boy Hunter? Well, he is with us now."
Walter paused to see that Travis was still expressionless.
Walter: "Since you disappeared, he has been living with me and Annie. We don't know what else can be done, so we left him."
Travis' eyelids moved and he didn't speak.
Walter: "One day, he stood at the door. Asked him, he didn't know anything, only that someone brought him in by car. He didn't know what happened between you and Jane. We did everything we could to go. I'm looking for you or Jane, I want to call her back, but she is gone. We don't know what to do."
Walter looked at Travis inquiringly. Travis lowered his eyelids, closed his mouth but said nothing. Walter had to go on.
Walter: "Travis! I don't understand what difficulties you have encountered. I don't know what happened. But, really, I am your brother. You should talk to me... I am always alone. I'm tired of talking."

Walter: "I know, I know, uh... my brother's belongings are left in the car. I hope to find them in that car."
Invoicing clerk: "Oh, okay, I'll talk to the lost and found office right away. Contact and see if there is any."
Walter was not used to withdrawing lies, and his face blushed. He said hurriedly: "We must find that car." The
teller was tough: "No! I can't find that car."
Walter: "Oh, why not? Don't you have a license number on your list!"
Walter Pointed to the stack of car bills in her hand. The teller was suddenly speechless.

Walter: "Okay, tell us the license number, and we will find it ourselves."
Invoice: "I can't do this, sir."
Walter: "Why not?"
Invoicing clerk: "I can only ask you to come to the office with me once."
Seeing this, Walter was desperate. He stopped and called Travis.
Walter: "I'm afraid we won't be able to find the original car again." The
ticket teller: "I can rent you a model car, exactly like your original one, sir."
Travis walked over, anxiously Looking at Walter, he said, "Walter, we want the original one. How can we go home in another car?"
Walter was angry and funny when he heard this. But he didn't want to disappoint his brother, so he had no choice but to beg the ticket teller again.
Walter: "Tell us the number, Yu? Please, beauty, please!" The
teller relented and finally gave in.
Invoicing clerk: "Okay. The number is 667DJP."
Walter (to Travis): "Remember? 667DJP."
Travis: "667DJP. There is a crash on the car cover."
Billing staff surprised to look at him: "Yes ah!"

Interior in the car-
Walter drove one side, the side from time to time in the mirror staring back seat of Travis. Seeing that he was repeatedly playing around with a photo in his hand, he couldn't help asking.
Walter: "What's that?"
Travis: "What?"
Walter: "Well, what are you holding in your hand?"
Travis looked down at his hand and said, "A picture. "
Walter: "What picture?"
Travis answered without hesitation: "A picture of Paris."
Walter: "Paris? Really?"
Travis, "Yes. A place in Paris."
Walter: "Where did you get such a picture of Paris? Can I see it?"
Travis: "Yes."
Then, he passed the picture to Walter. Walter took a look at the photo and saw that there was only a wooden shelf in the middle part of a large open space. Walter glanced suspiciously at Travis.
Walter: "That's it? This is Paris? How do I see it like Texas?"
Travis was very confident: "It's Paris."
Walter: "The Paris of Texas?"
Travis S, "There is such a place on the map."
Walter: "Is there really such a place called Paris, Texas?"
Travis solemnly opened the map, pointed to one of the places and said, "It's here. "
Walter: "Well, how come you have such a picture with only a large open space in Paris, Texas?"
Travis: "This is mine."
Walter: "I know, but you How did it come?"
Travis blinked, thought for a while, and said, "I bought it... a long time ago."
Walter: "You bought such a picture of a vacant lot?"
Travis, "No, I bought that land."
Walter: "Oh, you bought such a large vacant lot?"
Travis: " Yes."
Walter looked back at him and saw that Travis was serious and secretly funny.
Walter: "Oh, show me again."
Travis handed him the picture. Walter held the steering wheel in one hand and the photo in the other. He looked at the photo for a while, and then at Travis.
Walter: "Nothing above ...... ah!"
Travis: "empty."
Walter:. "? Oh, heck why did you buy such a large open space in Paris, Texas, it"
special Lavis thought for a while, and then said, "Uh,...I forgot." The

interior scene, the car, and the
night gradually fell. There was nothing to see on the highway except for the faint lights. Walter turned on the lights and kept them on.
Travis: "Remember Mom's first name?"
Walter: "Mary."
Travis: "No, I know that. I mean, uh, her... is that she found her father Before."
Walter: "Oh, you mean her name when she was a girl?"
Travis: "Yes."
Walter: "Don't you remember her name when she was a girl?"
Travis: "Yes."
Walter: "Sequine."
Travis: "Sequine, is that Spanish?"
Walter: "Her father is Spanish."
Travis: Yes. "
The car drove into a small town. Walter found a restaurant and stopped, and the brothers entered the guest seat. Walter ordered two meals. After a tiring day, Walter gobbled it up. He suddenly thought of Travis, and he neither ate nor drank along the way. As soon as he looked up, he found that he was sending something into his mouth with a fork. Seeing Walter looking at him in surprise, he also smiled.
Walter: "I can't believe it! After all you decided to eat! You ate and talked! You went back to the world without knowing it, Traver."
Travis smiled briskly. He tilted his head for a moment, and tentatively asked: "Should I drive?"
Walter: "Of course. Can you remember how to drive?"
Travis: "My body still remembers. When I was driving. You can sleep for a while."
Walter: "Okay."
Walter happily accepted Travis's proposal. He sat in the back seat of the car, Travis held the steering wheel, and the car started again in the dark.

Walter leaned halfway in the back seat. In the past two days, the fatigue of the journey has made him exhausted.
Walter: "Well, Traver, maybe, do you think you can tell me what happened in those four years now?"
Travis: "No, not yet."
Walter didn't bother to argue with him. Dong Zhu went to sleep.

Location·In the desert·The
sky is just bright at dawn. Walter opened his eyes and saw the car parked in a desert, surrounded by a vaguely blurred view of nothing. There was no one in the cab, and Walter couldn't help worrying. He got out of the car and shouted: "Travis!"
"What's the matter?" Travis's answer came from a distance.
Walter followed the sound and saw Travis sitting high on an old truck.
Walter: "Where are we, Travis? What's the matter? Why are you leaving the highway? My God! I'll have something to do even if I doze for five minutes. Where are you going?"
Travis Si (head down): "I don't know where to go. There is no place name here."
Walter: "It's great. We stayed in the Mojave Desert like this, and we couldn't find a place name!"
Walter was excited. Waving his hand, Travis remained calm.
Travis: "I will find the highway again."

continues along the iron line in the car.
Walter: "Traver, I want to talk to you a little bit about Hunter."
Travis: "How

Travis : "So, he is seven years old."
Walter: "Yes. But, you see, what I want to tell you is... well, he... now he seems to be a member of our family."
Walter knotted He stammered, looking very embarrassed. However, he hoped to explain everything to Travis before he got home, so he mustered up the courage and said, "Anne and I are like his parents."
Travis: "Anne is your wife ." "
Walter: "Yes. Do you remember her?"
Travis thought for a while, and said, "I don't remember. Does he think you are his father?" Travis
asked Walter in one sentence. Blushing, he replied hurriedly: "Annie has told him that you are back."
Travis: "Who does he think I am?"
Walter: "I have told him that you are his father. But...you have already It's been a long time, Travis."
Travis: "How long have I been away? Do you know?"
Walter: "Four years."
Travis became serious: "Can four years be long?"
Walter: "It's long enough for a child. It's almost half of his life."
Travis was silent for a moment, savoring these words carefully, and then murmured: "A child lives Half!" The
two were silent. Travis looked at the telegraph poles speeding by outside the car window, at the empty field, and he was lost in thought.
Suddenly, Travis looked at Walter and said: "I remember now!"
Walter was taken aback, and said, "What?"
Travis: "Why should I buy this piece of land."
Walter: "Why? "
Travis:" ah, my mother once said to me, that's where she and Dad spent the first night of the wedding. "
Walter:"? Well, in Texas, Paris "
Travis: "Yeah."
Walter couldn't help but stared at him, "She said that?"
Travis said solemnly, "Yes. So I guess that's where I was born. I, Telawi That's how they named it, S. Clay Henderson."
Walter: "You may be right, Traver." The

Travis: "For this, Dad always uses it as a joke."
Walter: "What is a joke?"
Travis: "When he introduced his mother to others, he always said that he was the girl he saw in Paris. Then he deliberately did not say Texas, until we all thought what he said was ...... until we all thought he was telling the Paris, France, and then he would meet to laugh. "

Travis: "Oh, you live in Los Angeles, don't you?"
Walter: "Yes, we live in the suburbs, but my business is in the city."
Travis: "What business do you do?"

Anne: "After!.. Travis my God, we can not find what you're thinking so long time," Travis kissed her on both cheeks, and asked: "Journey, okay?"
Special Lavis: "Very good."
Annie turned her head and called upstairs, "Hunt!" A blond-haired boy came down the stairs. He glanced at Travis with a curious look, and then, again Turned his head away.
Annie and Walter watched nervously at the first meeting of the father and son. They looked at Hunter for a while, then at Travis, only to see Travis slowly smiling.
Annie: "Hunter, this is Travis."
Hunter heard Anne's voice and looked at Travis again, then said softly: "Hello!"
Travis said with a smile. : "Hello."

Annie took everyone to the dining table and sat down. A sumptuous dinner is already on the table.
"The car must be very hot across the Mojave Desert?" Annie found a topic, trying to break the silence on the dining table. Walter looked at Annie with satisfaction, then turned to look at Travis. Travis realized that the question was addressed to him, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes."
Annie, "It's a pity, you have to drive back. What happened on the road?"
Travis didn't answer. He bowed his head again to eat. Walter took over quickly: "Well, Travis just doesn't want to fly."
Annie: "Oh, I don't blame you. Sometimes, I can't stand the flight. Especially since we moved into this house, every day listening to the sound of aircraft flying on the roof. "
Hunter:" I like. "
Annie looked at Hunter, smiled, asked Travis:"? before you have flown it, "
Terra Weiss: "No."
Annie: "I seem to remember that Jane told me one time that you would go to Delas by plane together, or some other place... Maybe I remembered it wrong."

after dinner Travis visited the Walter house for a while. This is a two-story building. Upstairs is the bedroom, and downstairs is the living room and kitchen. Photos and paintings hung on the walls of the room. The sofas in the living room are brand new, all with dark red sofa covers, making the whole living room look elegant and harmonious.
Annie laid a makeshift bed for Travis in the living room.
Walter said disapprovingly: "My dear, he has never slept since we set off. I dare to swear to God that it is completely unnecessary."
Annie: "Where does he sleep?"
Walter: "He didn't. Sleep."
Annie said stubbornly: "He has to sleep somewhere for a while."
Walter: "Well, but I don't think he will use it."
Annie: "Then he always gets tired sometimes!"
Annie After making the bed, I stood up and just walked to the door when I met Travis and hurriedly handed him towels and clothes.
Annie: "Traver, here are towels, underwear and socks, all of Walter's. Good night."
Then she kissed his forehead and walked upstairs.
Walter yawned and stood up.
Walter: "Sleep for a while."
Travis: "Good night."

Interior · Kitchen
Early in the morning, when Walter was still asleep, Travis's cheerful singing came from the kitchen. He was washing the dishes and singing Mexican folk songs, and the dull expression on his face had disappeared.
Travis finished washing the tableware and went to the living room again. He gathered the Walter family's boots and shoes together and polished them brightly.

Exterior view · On the balcony
Travis took the polished leather shoes to the balcony and arranged them one by one on the platform. Then, sitting on the ground, he carefully looked at the opposite airport with a binoculars. When boarding a plane at the airport, it goes up and down, loading trucks come and go, and it is very busy.
Annie came to the balcony, saw a slip of shoes on the platform, smiled slightly. She walked up to Travis, put her hand on his shoulder, and asked gently, "You made these shoes?"
Travis looked back at her, nodded, and said nothing. .
Annie: "You are so kind, Travis. Would you like to have breakfast with us?"
Travis: "..."
Annie: "Aren't you hungry?"
Travis shook his head.
Annie: "We had waffles this morning. Do you like it? Would you like to eat some?"

Travis: "I wish you had not made a mistake, Hunter, if we follow the wrong car, we have to wait another month."
Hunter: "By that time I was eight years old."
Having facing Father made a face.
Travis smiled, turned the steering wheel, and the sports car immediately changed the track, following the red Chevrolet closely.
Hunter: "We can get closer to her and we can wave our hands."
Travis: "No, no, no. Don't get too close, or it will scare her. That way, she will have a car accident.
Right !" Hunter nodded understandingly: "Okay." The
little red car crossed a bridge and drove to a small town, where the houses began to become short and simple. The streets are getting narrower and narrower, and the ground is uneven and bumpy. Then, the car turned a corner on a fence and disappeared. Travis's car followed the small red car across the street and came to a big house. The wall was white and there were Picasso paintings on the wall. The little red car stopped by a small door.
Travis braked and got off with Hunter to look at the little red car. I saw handbags, sunglasses and other items beside the driver's seat in the car.
Hunter: "

    It is very empty, and I have seen his photography exhibition. It is this tone, which is contemplative, and the characters cannot act rationally and logically. Landscapes and place names are enough for Wenders.

    Wenders' male lead has almost no history, so when [Paris, Texas] Travis starts trying to tell his own past, his clumsiness is hopelessly on-screen. The climax of the film's climax, where the ideal projection and the reality are intertwined, is astonishingly beautiful in scheduling, but we still frown at the ramblings of the two monologues. Both men and women were embarrassedly caught between the present and the past, unable to emit any light.

Paris, Texas quotes

  • Walt: We live in the suburbs, but I've got my business in town

    Travis: Oh yeah? What's your business?

    Walt: I make billboard signs for advertising.

    Travis: Oh yeah? So *you*'re the one who makes those signs, I love those. Some of them are beautiful.

    Walt: I'm not the only one who makes them, Trav.

  • Travis: He thought if she never got jealous of him that she didn't really care about him. Jealousy was a sign of her love for him, and then one night, one night she told him that she was pregnant, she was about three or four months pregnant and he didn't even know and then suddenly everything changed, he stopped drinking, he got a steady job, he was convinced that she loved him now that she was carrying his child and he was going to dedicate himself to making a home for her. But a funny thing started to happen, he didn't even notice it at first, she started to change. From the day the baby was born, she began to get irritated with everything around her. She got mad at everything. Even the baby seemed to be an injustice to her. He kept trying to make everything all right for her. Buy her things. Take her out to dinner once a week. But nothing seemed to satisfy her. For two years he struggled to pull them back together like they were when they first met, but finally he knew that it was never going to work out. So he hit the bottle again. But this time it got... mean. This time, when he came home late at night, she wasn't worried about him, or jealous, she was just enraged. She accused him of holding her captive by making her have a baby. She told him that she dreamed about escaping. That was all she dreamed about: escape. She saw herself at night running naked down a highway, running across fields, running down riverbeds, always running. And always, just when she was about to get away, he'd be there. He would stop her somehow. He would just appear and stop her. And when she told him these dreams, he believed them. He knew she had to be stopped or she'd leave him forever. So he tied a cow bell to her ankle so he could hear at night if she tried to get out of bed. But she learned how to muffle the bell by stuffing a sock into it, and inching her way out of the bed and into the night. He caught her one night when the sock fell out and he heard her trying to run to the highway. He caught her and dragged her back to the trailer, and tied her to the stove with his belt. He just left her there and went back to bed and lay there listening to her scream. And he listened to his son scream, and he was surprised at himself because he didn't feel anything anymore. All he wanted to do was... sleep. And for the first time, he wished he were far away. Lost in a deep, vast country where nobody knew him. Somewhere without language, or streets. He dreamed about this place without knowing its name. And when he woke up, he was on fire. There were blue flames burning the sheets of his bed. He ran through the flames toward the only two people he loved... but they were gone. His arms were burning, and he threw himself outside and rolled on the wet ground. Then he ran. He never looked back at the fire. He just ran. He ran until the sun came up and he couldn't run any further. And when the sun went down, he ran again. For five days he ran like this until every sign of man had disappeared.
