One person one car all the way

As the director wrote in the movie at the end: To the ones who have to depart.

This is a movie that strips away the lively feeling of self

This is a poem dedicated to the homeless who have to hit the road

Different from Kerouac's on the road - the confusion and exploration of the beat generation

This is a journey of healing with loss and pain

Whether it is spending the rest of my life cherishing the memory of my husband

or service to help others escape the loss of a child

They all walked on their own paths, they met, parted, and reunited

They embrace each soul alone in the collective

They feel the moving and meaning of life in the moment they stay, and they will eventually find the answer to their own departure on the road

But please go on the road, regardless of the return date

Nomadland quotes

  • Fern: It's strange that you encourage people to invest their whole life savings, go into debt, just to buy a house they can't afford.

  • Bob: I think of an analogy as a work horse. The work horse that is willing to work itself to death, and then be put out to pasture. And that's what happens to so many of us. If society was throwing us away and sending us as the work horse out to the pasture, we work horses have to gather together and take care of each other. And that's what this is all about. The way I see it is that the Titanic is sinking and economic times are changing. And so my goal is to get the lifeboats out and get as many people into the lifeboats as I can.
