Nothing is lost, nothing is lost

1. I like it. The integration of the soundtrack and the picture is extremely high, and the immersive and smooth reading experience is immersed.

2. I feel sad most of the time, and the last ten minutes seem to calm the previous sadness. It seems to reconcile with a lonely and sad life.

3. The ending "Dedicated to the ones who had to depart". Feel the tenderness towards this group.

4. 'Bo never knew his parents, and we never had kids.' 'If I didn't stay, if I left , it would be like he never existed....so I stayed'

'You know when you growin up, you were eccentric to the other people'

A few sentences frame my impression of Fern. Perhaps she is also the more sensitive and difficult part of the crowd to integrate into worldly life.

Fern's loneliness as the film shows has character reasons. They are comfortable in distance intimacy (the kindness of chance encounters), and seem to be at a loss for close intimacy (sister and Def).

5. The most impressive thing is that Fern decided to leave Def and go to the seaside in the wind and rain. Sadness, nothing and nothing to have.

6. "Nie Yinniang" flashed through my mind during the process. Compared with this film, the mood is smoother, simpler and easier to understand. The loneliness was even more hopeless, and Fern indulged in it, becoming one. However, this partially self-selected loneliness didn’t reduce my sadness and helplessness as a bystander. Including seeing the spiritual leader Bob also felt the same way.

'There's a lot of people our age. Inevitably, there's grief and loss. And a lot of them don't get over either...And that's ok. That's ok'

"There are a lot of people our age on the road, with pain and loss. A lot of them still can't make it out. But, it's okay. It's okay."

This feeling is: nothing, nothing to lose, nothing to do, that's all... I accept and accept it all

    The road and exile films didn't really impress me. Originally, it was quite touching to meet all kinds of people and forget about the water in the rivers and lakes, but in the end it boiled down to remembering and not being able to relate. Probably due to forced rather than choice, returning to the original Amazon warehouse is really a bit depressing. When I watched it, I didn't feel the freedom of exile and rebirth at all. My heart was full of the heroine hearing thunder in the room. The oppression of the sound.

Nomadland 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.
