      Not helpless, just nomadic. (Chinese name is misleading)

      Not helpless, just nomadic. This film must have an English name first and then a Chinese name. The Chinese name is actually a bit misleading. Before watching the movie, I only knew the Chinese name, The Land of Nowhere. When I saw the title of the movie Nomadland, everything became clear. No place to rely on, no one to rely on, is a pitiful state in the Chinese context, which will make people sad. And Nomad is a nomad, a Norman, a barbarian who conquered Britain in Europe. For...

      life impulse

      Go to heaven and earth, show yourself to heaven and earth. Go beyond yourself. Entrusting oneself to others and all things seems to be the reason why the film is not afraid of the pain of life and not afraid of the imminent death-beyond oneself. I have to say that some moments in the film are touching. The two sisters separated in front of the big villa against the background of the sunset. They put their faces against a tree in the sky that can only hold one-sixth of the...

      Free people will meet on the road

      The end credits of "Nowhere" pays tribute to all who "have to hit the road". It expresses the extreme freedom and unspeakable bitterness of wandering life. It's a pity that the wandering Sanmao didn't see the movie, and always remembers that she was extremely angry because of the change of the lyrics of the olive tree.

      "Wandering, for the birds flying in the sky, for the clear stream in the mountains, and for the broad grassland." Seeing that the wandering...

      Gone with all the good things in the world

      Maybe this is not the most beautiful look when I grow old, but it is the most I can imagine myself looking like when I grow old.

      Forgive my uninhibited indulgence in this life and love freedom. A me who doesn't like to socialize, a me who is always nostalgic for the good times in the past. At that time, maybe I didn't leave any mark in the torrent of the times, maybe I didn't read ten thousand volumes of books, I didn't earn ten thousand family wealth, and I...

      Nomadland——The decision after the choice is the life you really choose.

      a woman,

      on the way,

      She met a lot of people.

      She was helpful and simple. But you can see her embarrassment, she is very poor, her car is broken, and she has no money. She is a little old, not the age to wander.

      She worked odd jobs to earn some money and then continued to drift.

      She has no plans to stay in one place for a long time.

      She said that she used to...

      The spiritual background of the film may have been said by the characters themselves: the traditional spirit of the United States. They are both independent individuals and loyal to family and community love, with empathy and mutual help as the bond between people. But unlike the original western pioneers, they were more or less forced to go on the road, and the hidden scars in their hearts could not be healed, only the vast world could still be placed. Therefore, although this film has a...

      Going on the road was a passive choice at first, but slowly, she couldn't live without this kind of life. By the bonfire, people tell their stories, and after dawn, they say goodbye. We are born...

      A lot of places are very moving, I thought I understood her loneliness, and the footage of the Amazon workshop was especially interesting. But this is clearly the story of the other, and it is also from the perspective of the...

      It's hard to watch, no event is compelling, and even for such a subject, the passers-by whose camera has never really listened to it can't help but cut to...

    Evaluation action

    "Nowhere" is not a commercial drama under the banner or background of a highway movie. The film is far from dramatic narrative and is unique among independent American productions. Whether it is recording life scenes, or highly artistically edited narratives and poetic pictures, they are all to show the real experience and living conditions of the modern American nomads. Thanks to the starring Francis McDomond’s precise handling of the...

    Movie quotes

    • Dolly: You know, when you were growing up, you were eccentric to other people. You maybe seemed weird, but it was just because you were braver and more honest than everybody else. And you could see me when I was hiding from everybody. And sometimes you could see me before I saw myself. I needed that in my life. And you are my sister. I would have loved having you around all these years. You left a big hole by leaving.

      Fern: That one's on me.

    • Dolly: You know, I think that what the nomads are doing is not that different than what the pioneers did. I think Fern's part of an American tradition.

    • Fern: I've been thinking a lot about my husband, Bo. When it got really bad at the end, they had him in the hospital on morphine drippin'. I was sitting there at night in the hospital. And... I'd wanna put my thumb down on that morphine drip just a little bit longer. So I could let him go. Maybe I should've tried harder. So he could've gone sooner without all that pain.

      Swankie: Maybe he wouldn't have wanted that. Maybe he was trying to stay with you as long as he could. I'm sure you took good care of him, Fern.

      Fern: I did.
