      On the road



       

      "Venus hangs low on this winter's night so cold. Darkness, before the night that blesses the earth, scatters its stars all over the world. Darkens rivers, shrouds mountains, buries highways. Death, we have no clue about the future." The


      139-minute film, from start to finish, with drugs, alcohol, theft, promiscuity, and a vast wilderness across a lonely highway, every scene I see is deep depression and despair. Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" chases not freedom,...

      go faster

      We will always meet many "like-minded" people on the road, but every road has forks, we can't choose the same intersection every time to turn, and eventually we will part ways or meet at the next intersection.

      The reason why some people have not yet encountered a fork in the road is not because your road has no end, but because you are walking too slowly and no one is walking with you.

      When we are young, we still have to walk faster to see more scenery, instead of waving goodbye...

      I haven't read the original book, but I feel that the movie is to express the idea of ​​returning from a lost way. Those who do not know will always be on the way.

      The name "On the Road" is a coincidence. It literally only has three words "on the road", but it does not tell us that it is "on what road", is it on the road of dreams? Confused on the road? On the way to hope? On the road to despair? On the road to brave face? Or on the way to escape?
      The characters in the movie, although on the road together, are never on the same road, because they are all on the road for different reasons.

      In order to better analyze the movie, first analyze...

      end words

      In the United States, as the sun goes down, I sit on a crumbling old river pier and look up at the sky above New Jersey, imagining vast swathes of wilderness rising up and down the land to the west coast. There is no end to the road, and people indulge their imaginations on this endless road. In Ai Zehua, I finally know that Chang Geng Star will hang low in the sky, and the dim light will sprinkle on the prairie, but this is only before the night has completely come, when the night comes, it...

      Essay

      In terms of entertainment, the film "On the Road" is not very good to me personally, the sense of plot is very weak, and there are no contradictions, climaxes or dramatic conflicts that should be emphasized in the drama. However, this is one of my favorite movies. The film mainly tells the story of the beat generation in the United States, those people in that era, the wandering, the promiscuous, the drug addict, the whole film conveys the taste of freedom and confusion, dreams and hesitation....

      How much do you know about flowers falling in your dreams? Stewart's 3P still has no temperament and no acting skills. Dunst is particularly old, like an aunt who went to the wrong studio. Garrett Hedlund's acting is...

      The two male protagonists are relatively insipid. Kristen Stewart has really made a big "breakthrough", which makes me very happy. In terms of supporting roles, big names such as Kirsten Dunst and Viggo Mortensen also performed well, but what is the difference in just two hours? It can express the essence of the original book as the "Beat Generation"...

      I am not an original fan, otherwise I would be a star. The outside world is too noisy, so there is an empty space inside to fight, wandering between the noise and the empty, nowhere to be placed-if you don't plan to show this kind of mental state, it will inevitably become the virtue of running accounts, and the meaning of the adaptation is again Where is it? I said, are you sure that the title of this film is not "the small fresh version of "Rebellion Without Cause""? The casting director...

      The five stars are all for Kerouac and my memories. I don't know how much this book affected me. It's not as simple as a book. Even if the vampire girl has become the marylou in my heart, the little brother who sings give it to me in the country strong has become the Dean in my...

      Without the original and overwhelming preconceived notions, Walter clearly made a decent film, he trained all the young actors well, and captured a lot of nuanced emotions. Dean's actor will be popular, he apparently learned from Marlon Brando as a young...

    Movie plot

    Not long after his father’s death, as a very aspiring New York writer, Sar Paradès (Sam Riley) met Dean Moriarty ( Garrett John Hedlund ) of similar age -although he Once in jail, he could not detract from his utterly destructive charm, and then his extremely unrestrained and quite attractive wife Mary Lu ( played by Kristen Stewart) . Thrall and Dean immediately established an intimate and sympathetic relationship. They obviously have...

    • Dean Moriarty: Hey Sal... I love you as ever.

    • Sal Paradise: The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.

    • Dean Moriarty: Yes, yes, yes, I gotta go now, Fever Sal. Goodbye.
