I didn't expect it to be so American

I originally thought it was the work of a Chinese director, the story or the plot, maybe I could think of, but I didn't expect it to be a very American movie.

A heroine looking for a job, living alone, road trips, gatherings of homeless...

It's just the low-light, cold scenery on the road that makes me especially like this movie.

And the rhythm is not too slow, which is what I love.

Thank you Director Zhao Ting for bringing this movie!

    Places like Empire, small towns created by humans and closed by humans, have become contemporary ruins, such as in the United States, in Japan, and of course in China, such as 404 City and some small mining towns. And "free people" like Fern are very rare in our dynasty. In the dual background of culture and policy, it is difficult for them to hide, and they will be more or less "supported". "Bo has never seen his parents, and we don't have children. If I leave, it will be as if he never existed." Life is meaningless and difficult, and it is a kind of existence to be a existence that has never existed." Rebellion", but there is no turning back for us. Don't sell misery, be miserable in your heart, and enjoy the truth of this life alone. In the end, human beings are inherently good, this is just a damn movie, so what?

    The RV is a ship, and the house is the land. It has been drifting on the sea for a long time and can no longer sleep peacefully on the land. Cultivation on the road, wandering in the world. Not abandoning everything and going on the road, but bringing everything forward, the plates from my father, the photos left by my husband, and the little bit of air in the middle of the rocks in the car to survive. I have seen the splendid scenery of the cliff flying with hundreds of swallows, and I have read the immortal poems with you, even if I live in a world without him, as long as I am on the road, I will not say goodbye.

Nomadland quotes

  • Carol: I see that you have this ring. Are you married?

    Fern: I am, but my husband died.

    Carol: And so...

    Fern: I'm not gonna take that off.

    Carol: That ring is a circle and it never ends. And that means that your love never ends. And you may not be able to take it off, if you tried.

    Fern: I don't think I can.

  • Dave: Hey, find anything?

    Fern: ROCKS!
