See you down the road.

For a long time, I have been searching for the meaning of life. There are thousands of people in this world, what is the difference between my existence and other beings?

I was constantly swaying between self-encouragement and self-denial, sometimes inspired by my inner courage, full of beautiful expectations for the future; We are shaped by complex emotions and the myriad choices that result from them, leading to a million different paths in life.

The translation of "Nowhere to Be Reconciled" is really appropriate. As the protagonists of the movie, they are burdened with a past that is more or less irreconcilable to them, and therefore it is difficult to return to the place where they once lived. Just like the nails on the wood will leave deep "wounds" even if they are pulled out, the wounds in the heart are more difficult to heal. Lost relatives, mistakes made, all kinds of regrets and regrets are all one-way roads that cannot be turned back.

I fully understand the feeling of those "homeless" people who are over half a hundred years old and even gray-haired on the road - as long as you don't stop and keep moving forward, the unknown can save me from desperate memories.

All kinds of people on the road, the deep and dense jungle, the stones carved by time, the waves caused by the sea hitting the reef... I love them, but I don't belong to any of them. I'm just alone, and I met you on the way, that's all.

    It's not difficult to say, but it's a movie that's simple but hard to control. I think this control lies in focusing on nothing else. The director is also immersed in such a journey. It seems that there is a natural force to help her show it, which is natural and beautiful. Great control over the photography, clever use of the soundtrack, and also controlling the meaning thing, not meaning for the sake of meaning, and McDormand's performance is brilliant, she just maintains herself, this and this The film is shot in the same way, that is, keep, the verse says "all beautiful images will inevitably fade", but McDormand's really restrained performance has reached a certain buffer, she is very good at it, there is no glamorous relaxation, There is no exquisite tension, she just deduces a kind of on the road, everything is moving forward or backward, she also maintains herself and speed, even in the last crying scene, it is only a slight panting. Xie Lingyun, a generation of landscape poets, once had a difficult and classic famous sentence "The lonely traveler is hurt, and the lonely traveler is bitter", which is probably the heart of the movie I saw.

    The whole movie seems to have happened a lot, but in fact nothing happened, the beginning and the end are still the same.

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.
