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

Nomadland quotes

  • Makenzie: My mom says that you're homeless, is that true?

    Fern: No, I'm not homeless. I'm just house-less. Not the same thing, right?

  • Linda: Before I moved into this squeeze inn, I was out looking for work and putting in applications. 2008, and it was just tough. I got to a really really low point. And I thought about suicide. And I decided I was gonna go buy a bottle of booze, turn on the propane stove, and I was gonna drink that booze until I'm passed out. And if I woke up, I was gonna light a cigarette and I was gonna blow us all up. And I looked at my two sweet little trusting dogs, my Cocker Spaniel and my little Toy Poodle. And I... I just couldn't do that to them. And I thought, well, I can't do that to me either. So I was getting close to 62 and I went online to look at my social security benefits. It said $550. Fern, I have worked my whole life. I've worked since I was 12 years old. Raised two daughters. I couldn't believe it. So I'm online and I find Bob Wells' cheap RV living. I could live in a RV. Travel. And not have to work for the rest of my life.
