Originally, I didn't watch the movie because it was going to the domestic theater chain, but it was withdrawn for various reasons. After watching it, I felt that it was a pity that the theater chain lacked a wonderful film. The original work of the film is a non-fictional work written by an American female journalist with investigative journalism. It tells the story of her traveling to the Midwest and using her RV as a mount to become a contemporary nomad. The smell of breath, at least in the nomadic details, has no trace of the script, more like a documentary. What the movie tells is similar to what is recorded in the book, except that the story line of the heroine is added. The heroine’s husband, who lives on the edge of the country, died of illness and was left alone, and the company suddenly closed down and lost her house. It seems that for the sake of livelihood, she can only drive her RV on the road, integrate into the nomadic group, learn how to live in the car, and wander while wandering. Live as a temporary worker. There are spoilers below: The film is not a journey of struggle for the poor, and there are not many people who want to show the bottom line. There are many people who choose to be homeless. For example, the heroine has too many relatives and friends who want to give her a place to stay. , let her stay to end the wandering, but she refused, because she can only be at peace when she is wandering on the road. There are many times in the film that she shows her active resistance to life under the roof. To be precise, she is not homeless , but homeless, wandering makes her feel that the RV is her home, so she can feel at ease. Therefore, the real theme is obvious, showing the nomadic group, accompanied by piano and poetry, and savoring the implication of the nomadic lifestyle. The whole film is a series of fragments of the heroine's nomadic life, removing a large number of physical links between points. The herdsmen who drove the flocks stopped for the grass, and drove their own herdsmen to stop for material or spiritual demands. The director has no inclination. In which piece, but let them appear alternately, often showing a sense of dislocation between painful reality and poetry. Two of my favorite passages in the whole film are in the herdsmen's gathering area. The first paragraph is about the herdsman who had only seven months left and planned to use the rest of his time to see the place where Feiyan gathered. Before she set off, she had a small seizure, and she naturally told the meaning of her nomadic herding. The lines reminded me immediately of the man in Blade Runner who was waiting to die on the rooftop. There seems to be no difference between Orion and Donwaise Gate and these unreachable distances. The second paragraph is the dialogue between the heroine and the white-hued guide. Both of them said that they had embarked on the road of herdsmen because of their nostalgia for the dead. When they talked about forgetting, they reminded me of the theme of Dream-seeking Travels, and of that The hunched figure that can sit on the chair reminds me of the old maid in Soul of Tsushima who said that the deceased father and the mother turned into style and the company of birds, and the memory is immortal.
