beat journey

Vincent Gallo made a minimalist film, a car, a pregnant girlfriend who died, a few gentle women who met by chance, and a lonely, depressed road trip. The pacing of the film is quite slow, with a lot of road and city scenes recorded through the front windshield while driving, the "on the road" Beat Generation texture is blowing, and Gallo's melancholy face makes people feel more Loneliness and depression. Driving alone, eating alone, washing muddy cheeks alone at various sinks. Taking the young female teller from the roadside store home, the two have ambiguous conversations and eye contact, but eventually Clay leaves alone. On the roadside, he kissed a strange woman, comforted each other to relieve loneliness and loneliness, and finally left alone. Facing the prostitutes who were soliciting customers at the intersection, he kept rejecting, but because of loneliness he still picked up a young girl, but nothing happened. Clay rode his motorcycle to the end of the endless wasteland, which reminded me of the same behavior of Joaquin Phoenix in "The Master", and the two men also have certain similarities in character and state. The last oral sex scene was as shocking as an porn movie, but the woman who gave him oral sex had already died. The cause of death was drug overdose and promiscuity. The memories of being violated by a group of men kept appearing. At that time, she was even pregnant with Clay's child. Puzzles are solved in this series of hard-hitting passages, which is why Clay is so broken and empty, losing his lover and child, and being timidly helpless in his presence. And the fantasies of oral sex and the tenderness of snuggling are the interweaving of his love and hatred. While enjoying oral sex, he keeps insulting and questioning his dead girlfriend. I allow you to give me mouth because I love you, but I can't forgive it either. you.
