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.

    Full of desolate and icy fields, starry RVs, they are all people who have to go on the road. Even if they have warm and dependable families, people who still choose to live on the road have their own understanding of life and home. Foen lost her husband and lost her company job. Drifting on the road by the RV, on the highways, in the scenery of the rows, in the group of the helpless people, the epiphany life, the cure is not happy, she is lonely, she is also the least lonely, life It's like traveling in a car, you never know where to stop, and you never know where to start.

Nomadland quotes

  • Merle: I worked for corporate America, you know, for 20 years. My friend Bill worked for the same company. And... He had liver failure. A week before he was due to retire, HR called him in hospice and said, you know, let's talk about your retirement. And he died 10 days later, having never been able to take that sailboat that he bought out of his driveway. And he missed out on everything. Then he told me before he died, just don't waste any time, girl. Don't waste any time. So I retired as soon as I could. I didn't want my sailboat to be in the driveway when I died. So... yeah. And it's not. My sailboat is out here in the desert.

  • Fern: What's remembered, lives.
