I'm not homeless, I'm just houseless

Before I knew the background of the story, I kind of didn't understand what the movie was about for the first twenty minutes. Seeing Fern say nothing, his indifferent expression, and the background music, the whole atmosphere gave me a feeling of loneliness and depression! Then Fern's car broke down and she had to go to her sister to borrow money, and when they discussed Nomadland, there was still a big disagreement; later she also visited Dave, although his family was very warm to her and unanimously wanted her It was possible to settle down and live, but Fern felt so out of place and reserved to me that she eventually left. Afterwards, Fern was at the seaside, despite the dark clouds and the howling sea breeze, she smiled happily against the cold wind. At that moment, it seemed that my imprisoned heart was free, and I understood Fern's choice! At the end of the movie, she returns to the place where she and her husband lived, which has long been dilapidated, and there is no trace of their original life, and the movie ends in Fern's back. These lines are my favorites in the movie: -That ring is a circle. And it never ends. And that means that your love never ends. -What's remembered lives. -And out here, there's a lot of people our age. Inevitably, there's grief and loss. And a lot of'em don't get over it either. And that's okay.

    "I am 75 years old this year, and I think I have had a pretty good life in my life. I have seen many beautiful things while kayaking around. On the river in Idaho, I have seen a family of elk. On a lake in Colorado, a big white pelican landed in front of my kayak. After a bend, there was a cliff there. I saw hundreds of swallows resting on the cliff and swallows flying in the air. , And with the reflection of the river water, it looked like I was also flying, and swallows were flying around me, and the young swallows had just hatched their shells, and the small eggshells fell from the cliff to the surface of the water. Floating above, those white eggshells are simply wonderful. I think I have experienced enough and my life is complete. If I die at that moment, it will be no problem for me. Me too I don’t know, maybe after I die, my friends will sit around the campfire and throw stones into the fire to commemorate me.”

    Zhao Ting showed off her superb skills in fiddle with the audience. When the film made the audience just immersed in the emotion of harmony between man and nature, she had to close the car door to return to reality. This is just like the heroine insisted on the choice. Should be just a touch of monochrome in life

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!
