"Stranger Than Paradise" is the same as director James R. Jarmusch's other movies—boring and smelling of alcohol. He designed enough tortuous and bizarre wandering journeys for the characters, and then tried his best to attach his signature "feeling of powerlessness" to the film, so that people on and off the screen can only "track" to nothingness. The film contains all the elements of a road film: the journey, the scenery, the gathering and separation of young people, the pursuit and loss. But there are not many good scenery that can be seen, only some gas stations, chimneys, dilapidated factories and crude oil pipelines accompanied by steam, this glimpse of the American industry in the 1980s. The large black screen part of the film gives the film a breathing rhythm, and also gives the audience room to think, so that the audience can digest the scene they just saw—even if they don’t have to think intellectually. The black screen part also means that the audience is deprived of a moment, and this is also closely related to the theme of the film, that is, something has been taken away. These sporadic references to death make the film extremely fascinating

Everyone was busy at the end, but there was no hysterical feeling. Eddie finally saw the plane leaving at the airport, and he just complained and drove away. Eva didn't know what she was thinking when she went back to the cabin and lay down. It might be that she regained a sense of her own silence and quiet emptiness, which was a temperament that matched Eva very well.
