Drifting with the folds of aphasia

For this year's New York Film Festival, turn off all the lights in a small room in Ithaca and turn it on with Nomadland. Above the wilderness, drifting along the folds of aphasia.

Nomad, so the rotation of the four seasons makes discrete spaces also fall into the roulette wheel; so the huge modern factory, the temporary prefabricated house in the visitor center, the highway rest station, and the folding chair by the campfire, all become the moment on the space clock.

Nomad, so no support, no support is no support, but there is a basis. Mountains are the basis for the movement of the earth's crust, snow is the basis for seasonal reincarnation, seeing Jupiter tonight is the basis for Jupiter's light in 1987, the eggshell floating on the water is the basis for new life, the sonnet I can recite is the basis for your existence The basis for the past, that worn-out truck is the basis for me to still walk.

An anti-cave road movie in 2020 when all humans return to the cave. However, the cave is fake, the suspension is real, the hardship is real, and how to digest the loss and how to escape from the establishment is an eternal proposition. How to liberate yourself within the range designated by the establishment, how to continue living within the range designated by memory, and how to exist most endlessly within the range designated by the flesh?

"But this time it's going to go further

No anger, no betrayal, but stillness and permanence"

Nowhere to go, and I will hear you again.

Nomadland quotes

  • Swankie: I'm gonna be 75 this year. I think I've lived a pretty good life. I've seen some really neat things kayaking all of those places. And... You know, like a moose in the wild. A moose family on the river in Idaho and big white pelicans landed just six feet over my kayak on a lake in Colorado. Or... Come around a bin, was a cliff and find hundreds and hundreds of swallow nests on the wall of the cliff. And the swallows flying all around and reflecting in the water. So it looks like I'm flying with the swallows and they're under me, and over me, and all around me. And little babies are hatching out, and eggshells are falling out of the nest, landing on the water and floating on the water. These little white shells. That was like, it's just so awesome. I felt like I've done enough. My life was complete. If I died right then, at that moment, would be perfectly fine.

  • Fern: 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. I couldn't pack up and move on. He loved Empire. He loved his work so much. He loved being there, everybody loved him. So I stayed. Same town, same house. Just like my dad used to say: "What's remembered, lives." I maybe spent too much of my life just remembering, Bob.
