Either his family died or he was terminally ill and had to wander. . . Forget the pain by escaping, a bunch of poor people!

When finally this old chicken soup man tells the truth. . . Only then did he know that his so-called spiritual leader was actually a big layman.

He fled the world because of the death of his son, hoping to forget the pain.

The heroine is her husband who dies and wants to escape from the world and forget the pain.

The old woman with the skull and crossbones had cancer and wanted to escape from the world. . .

What loves nature, what is free, not bound by the government, and what is more comfortable in a car. . . It's all bullshit!

If you can't go on the road, everyone wants to live in a villa. Who really thinks it's more comfortable to poop in the car when it's cold in winter and hot in summer? ?

As for the swallows by the lake, the eggshells in the water, the beautiful scenery, and the self-driving tour on vacation can also be achieved. There is no need to sell the house and live in the car to watch the swallows and the sunset every day. . . . .

Of course the director understands such a simple truth! No one is stupid, so the director finally asked the question, why do you want to wander, there is only one reason - you have to hit the road! ! ! They're all poor people

    "U.S. bottom life" is so publicized, it's actually just a shell. It's a very personal story. It tells about loneliness, choice, escape, and everyone has a reason for having to be on the road. There are probably too many here. Director's own experience. I don't know why I think of Brooklyn, this can't be considered a story of a stranger, or for some people, the world is a foreign country, and for me, who left home at 18, seeking my peace of mind It will always be the theme of life, but when I think about it, the place where I stand is actually my home, the heroine is right, "I'm not homeless, I'm just houseless", I passed the city center on the way to the cinema I looked up and found that the weather was fine. I was far from expecting that the movie I was about to watch would be so in line with my mood at the time. The warm sunshine under the Southern Cross and the desolate Yellowstone Desert in North America just overlapped in my heart. Our left hands are the same. A star in the universe, we will meet again eventually, See you down the road.

    A woman's lonely journey after the closure of the gypsum mine is also a journey of abundance. The character setting of a rebellious but down-to-earth white old lady fits well with the film's image style setting - bitter but not cruel, displaced but not bumpy, houseless rather than homeless. As a marginalized group of mainstream society, they can at least receive decent treatment and timely assistance. Although they are old and unable to rest and are subject to the "tyranny of the dollar", they at least have spare energy and leisure to enjoy the loneliness in the wilderness. If you can't stay together forever, always looking forward to the distance on the road is also a lukewarm ending. In the post-industrial society today, it should be able to gain a lot of audience.

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.
