Five Hundred Miles Aways From Home

The director's one-handed turn at the beginning and the end of the film is not novel, but such a similar plot appeared after the protagonist was separated for a long time. The irony is very obvious in the comparison between the front and the back. We may feel that the protagonist has a strange freedom and persistence at the beginning of the film, and can ignore the blows and obstructions of others for our own musical dreams, but at the end of the film we will find that we have been deceived by the director. The so-called "attachment" that is powerless to reality. Jane once accused Le Verne of being a "jerk" and a "coward", saying that he "couldn't do anything", which may illustrate the problem from the side, that is, Le Verne may not be aware of what he really wants to achieve Dreaming and going to another city, or just want to escape the desolation and desolation of the city where he is located. The various encounters in Chicago may not explain the real dilemma facing LeVine. He only stayed there for a few days. If he continues to work hard in Chicago, then he will face two possibilities. Either endure the humiliation and end up on the A stage that can make him shine, or he has been obscure and impoverished, but it is not necessarily worse than when he stayed in his hometown, because for him, the unsatisfactory interpersonal relationship and environment in his hometown are not only familiar to him, perhaps. It would do him no good except to feel "safe", as the man who attacked him outside the bar said, this is a place for rotten people. For Le Verne, hometown may not be a purely geographical concept, but a place that allows him to pursue his dreams freely. In this sense, neither Chicago nor New York is considered a "hometown". LeVern has always been On the Wanderer, as Jane and Companion sang the ballad Five Hundred Miles Aways From Home. The professor's cat in the film steals the spotlight, slipping away from time to time, causing all kinds of trouble for Le Vern, but even such a mischievous cat can eventually return to his true home. In contrast, wandering Le Verne is increasingly sympathetic. The real name of the cat is "Ulysses". I believe anyone who has a little knowledge of Western literature knows that the prototype of Ulysses is the ancient Greek mythology who wandered at sea for ten years and finally returned to his hometown to reunite with his wife and children. Odysseus. The moment he learned the name of the cat, Le Verne was a little lost. Perhaps at this time he really realized that he might be another Odysseus who was always drifting at sea and could never find a place to dock.
